April 8, 2013 Elder Johnson's Transfer

Well... I think I have arrived in Benson, Arizona... Transfers came aroud and to my suprise, I was going north.. But not too far north. I got the transfer call and was told I would be going to Tolhuin which is only about 100 miles north of my other area. I know that souds like a lot, but when youre already... i dont know 7000 miles away from home, 100 miles doesnt change to much haha. The area im in now is not even a branch. There are 5 members and its called a family group. We have the meetings in the house of one of the members. Apparently 2 men received the priesthood yesterday and in a few weeks will become the first ever church leaders in this area and it will become a branch. I¨M pretty excited to get to work here and see what I can do to help this area grow. I was so excited to be able to hear general conference this week. It has officially become my favorite time of the year. I already look forward to the next conference. I really enjoyed the talk by Elder Bednar, the way he compared guilt is to our soul as pain is to our body. It made me think of how important it is to never make mistakes, and when we do make a mistake to repent as quickly as possible so that it heals and we lose the pain as quickly as possible. I hope everything is going good for everyone else, I´m really sorry, but I don´t konw what to write at times, so ifa nyone has some sort of question feel free to ask me and I will answer it. It´ll make writing a bit easier too. I just feel like you guys hear the same thing every week haha. Love you guys lots! Don´t forget to read and pray every day! With love, from the south still, Elder Johnson
