Cucamonga! It's Bailey in Rancho!

What is up everyone! I hope your week was as good as mine! Happy Thanksgiving! Donna got baptized! She was so excited and so prepared! And she loves having the Holy Ghost with her all the time. She is a miracle and I am so grateful to know her! Speaking of being grateful... HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I hope all ya'll ate lots, we sure did. Like 5 meals worth of food! I am still full from it! But gaining weight is just part of missionary life... Right? ;).  We have taught a lot this week as well, it has been great! The work is starting to speed up, So yay! Also Wrightwood has a yearly Christmas tree lighting, where they decorate a tree and light it up after thanksgiving. So that was fun and we talked to lots of people :). I just want to testify that God cares! He really does, He is your Father in Heaven and He loves you. He is in the details of everything, so start noticing the little things. The tender mercies that He gives you! It is amazing! So li...

What a week! Life has been good, and I hope ya'll feel the same way :).  Pep Boys So the week started with pep boys, our brakes were super squeaky so we went to get them checked, turns out they needed to be replaced... and they forgot about us or something cause we were there... in sketchy Victimville (Victorville) from 12:30- 8:30!!! But we talked to a lot of people about the gospel, so that was cool. And don't worry I kept my pepper spray in my hand ;).  Our Heroes So we had to call the zone leaders to let them know we were going to be late for curfew cause it is like an hour drive home. And then some other stuff happened, and long story short we had a slumber party with some other sisters who came and picked us up! yay! My first time as a Hermana! We also met the pastor of the Sunrise church! And he was so nice, and then yesterday during his sermon he gave us a shout out! So now a bunch of people from his congregation are letting us into their homes, so tha...

Hey peeps! So I no longer know how to work email, so yay! Anywho I just would love to announce that we found 4 new amazing people to teach! They truly have been prepared by the Lord, and it is amazing how ready and interested they really are. This week has been super busy so we celebrated today by going to Barstow... again! Yay! I just wanted to invite you all to pray, right after you read this email pray! Because you have a Father in Heaven who loves you and wants to hear from you. Yes He already knows everything but it is still nice to hear from you how great your day was. And right after you pray wait. Just stop and listen! Learn to recognize how He speaks to you! I love you all! And Christ's church has been restored, so choose the right! -Sister Johnson 

I just had to share, I sent these photos of the sky from home  and this is Bailey's response. "The sky is so pretty! But I think I like the sky here too so I'll stay here;)" Then she sent this sunset photo today. Funny girl.

Happy Monday!        Can I just say I love to see the temple, and I went inside the other day, and yes I felt the Holy Spirit, and of course I listened and prayed! For the temple is such a holy place! And I love it!!!! :) We were able to go last week, so sorry I didn't get around to emailing :). The Redlands temple is soooooo pretty too! And the Temple really is the Lord's house and I felt so close to Him, I heard and felt just what I needed to! Because the Lord sends us just what we need! It is the best place ever! Ya'll need to go :). So I don't know what I have told ya'll already so I'm sorry if I already told this story, but we have been trying to involve the ward members more in missionary work, but we didn't know how. We also are in desperate need of finding more people to teach. And so my wise companion, Sister Chidester, thought of a plan, and it all started with prayer, so we prayed, that's the go to of course, and then ...
