<span class="s1">Welp folks, this is it. The last silly weekly email from Sister Johanson the ancient.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">What do you say to sum up an entire mission? The best I can do is leave you with my testimony (what a missionary I am..). I am so grateful for my mission. I have truly loved being here. I am so grateful for the incredible people that I got to meet, the relationships I got to build, and the miracles I was allowed to see. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I know that this is Heavenly Father's work. He lives. He lives and He loves us. In fact, He loves us so much that He sent us our Savior. I love my Savior. He's the reason that I've been out here as long as I have, doing what I've been doing every day. How blessed I am for my knowledge of Him!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The spirit of the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is powerful. I believe in modern prophets, and I believe that this is the church of the Lord. We are on the right path, my friends. :) God <i>does </i>speak to His children today, there <i>are</i> miracles to be seen, The Book of Mormon <i>is </i>true, and families <i>can </i>be together forever. And this is all possible because of Jesus Christ. :) </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I know that my Redeemer lives.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I can't thank you enough for the endless love and support that you have constantly and consistently shown to me throughout this adventure. Your prayers worked! I made it, and I loved it. I can't wait to come home and hug your faces off! Love is so much better close up than from far away. :) I hope you have a blessed week, and uh, see ya soon!</span></div>
<div class="p2">

<span class="s1">Welcome to the second to last weekly email of Sister Johanson the very old!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Don't worry, I didn't skip a couple of weeks, plans have just changed a little, but God's plan hasn't. He knew what was up all along. :)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">My lovely greenie Sister Maughan came to us this week. She has been slowly recovering from pneumonia, so physically she's got it rough, but emotionally she is incredible. She's a fun girl to be around, with lots of missionary fire and I'm grateful to have her here. We practice teaching lessons in Dutch to the chairs in the living room and constantly talk about missionary work, when she's not briefing me on how to be a normal person back in America. :) I'm really grateful for this last opportunity to help a fellow missionary and help set her up to have a successful mission, although I feel like she's doing more for me than I am for her.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">It's been a rougher week here in Deventer, but there are still missionary experiences aplenty. Every time we go outside, there's someone cool to talk to. :) God is certainly mindful of us. I was able to feel His love a lot this week as I communed with Him to see what His plan is for me. I'm so grateful that He has let me be on a mission and see so many miracles and meet so many wonderful people. I am so grateful for the faithful and steadfast support group that He's given me and I won't be able to thank all of you enough for what you have done for me, and continue to do for me. I hope that in this last week and a half of wearing a nametag that I can give my all and still cram in a couple of conversion moments every day. ;) Name tags come off, but missionary work never ends.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I love you all a lot, I appreciate you more than you know, and I continue to pray for you.</span></div>

<span class="s1">Welcome to the 6th to last weekly email of Sister Johanson the old</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I am still here in Deventer with the wonderful, wonderful Hills. They are some of the kindest, most generous people I have ever met and I sure do love them. Guess what. They're going to send me a companion! The poor dear is a greenie who just came in and got pneumonia on the way over, so they're bringing her to our little Deventer rehab center and I'm going to sit inside and train her. Sounds like fun times to me. :) I really have been able to see blessings and reasons for being here with the senior couple in this city. I've made several new friends, including missionaries, recent converts, and investigators, and I am still able to have missionary opportunities.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The other day, Sister Hill and I walked across the street to get hair cuts. We started talking to this darling 17 year old girl who is planning a graduation trip to America. I began telling her cool places to go in America and asking her all kinds of questions, and she asked if we could exchange numbers and talk more. Awkwardly, I am the girl without phone or home, so we did the email thing. She will probably get baptized someday, don't you think? ;) I love new friends.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I truly am doing a lot better. I thank you all sooo much for your prayers in my behalf. God really listens to those. I've received a lot of love from a lot of people, and I know that means that God loves me. Thanks for being a part of His plan and giving me the help I need. :)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>

<span class="s1">Since I'll be here a while longer, here is my address:</span></div>

<span class="s1">Remember kids, God made you special, and He loves you very much. (thanks Veggie Tales)</span></div>

<span class="s1">Hey Beloved Souls of My Heart :)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">So, this last week has been..yes. But I'll share a miracle with you.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">One of our investigators believes that we, missionaries, were sent from God to help him. However, he's been having a hard time giving up his other religion. He said that if Jesus made the decision for him, then he would follow Him. Well, oh so uncoincidentally, a week later, he had a dream that Jesus came to him and told him to follow Him! Call it weird, but you can also call it a miracle. :)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">For the rest..Tilburg has been taken over, and Sister Manning is now serving in Zoetermeer. My body has been dealing with a negative reaction to medication, so I am just chilling with my new companions the Hills until my body recovers. :) They are wonderful, and I am so grateful for them. Sister Hill reminds me of Grandma Johanson, with her cute little voice and happy laugh and always worrying about me being cold and needing more blankies. Elder Hill gave me a blessing, and we know that everything is going to be okay. Thanks so much for your love and prayers- they really do work.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I wish you all the most blessed of weeks! </span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Howdy Pals</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Good times, good times. It froze over here, so I have turned into a popsidressa. My favorite. But there are always miracles to share.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">There have been a couple moments where, by just being me, God helps people, usually on public transportation. I had another experience this week where I was sharing some life thoughts with Sister Manning on a train and this guy next to us seemed to be listening. We were talking about enjoying your own life, and being happy with who you are. The guy kept nodding and then said, "ya, that's true." We then had a cool, chill conversation with him about life and how to be happy. What a blessing for all of us. :)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Another cool moment was getting to do one last, last-minute musical number with Elder Hunter at zone training. It was a great training, and he really brought the Spirit with "Oh Divine Redeemer" and we tried to convey our testimonies through the words and music. I love those opportunities.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">It's been a bit of a weird week with some hiccups, but God is with us and all is well. I pray for the same for you all.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Much love,</span></div>

<span class="s1">........</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I'm getting to the point where I am very out of exciting greetings. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Let's begin by stating the fact that Sister Manning and I are having a blast over here in Tilburg. :) With hard work and lots of laughs, we feel like the good ol MTC dream team. God is blessing us with lots of little miracles.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> We had a stop-smoking party for one of our pals on Saturday, and he is going to try to not smoke for a whole week! We put lots of inspiring little posters all over his apartment and the zone leaders gave him an air freshener. We are so proud of him. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> We also had a make-it-or-break-it lesson with a man who has been investigating for 7 years. He will either be baptized February 13, or uh, ya.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> Our branch council inspired us yesterday by telling us how they are going to get the members more involved in missionary work. We are just livin the dream over here!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Cool Spirit moment: We got the random idea to go to this area we never go to, and the train was leaving in 5 minutes. We went, and only had half an hour to do whatever God needed us to before heading to an appointment. We started knocking some doors, got let in on the 3rd door, and found ourselves a fun new investigator. Isn't it crazy how God uses random thoughts to get us to accomplish cool things? </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">My favorite funny moment: Sister Manning did a complete rendition of Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat on our bike ride home the other night. You all missed out. What a "gem" she is. (she always says that word :) )</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Sending you many happy thoughts and blessings,</span></div>
<br />

<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Happy 2016, folks!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This week was full of all kinds of exciting things. We will start with New Years.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">It was awesome! Man, it is so cool in the Netherlands. We had to be inside at 4, but our mission president was inspired to have us make life goals, so we were busy all afternoon. We made goals for 3, 10, and 25 years into our life, and it was cool to look that far ahead and think about what you really want in life. My goals ended up being centered around family, education, and health. That's Dressa. :) But the fireworks here are awesome!! A lot of stuff is legal here, so it is a lot cooler than America. We had a great view as well. I'll try to send the video. :)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We have an investigator with a baptismal date! She is quickly grasping the principles of the gospel and asked us what she needed to do be baptized, if she needed to make an appointment or something. Haha we were pretty happy about that.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I also got asked out on a train! He wanted to get coffee in Antwerpen. Dang it. I love Antwerpen, just skip the date and the coffee. :)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We have a fair amount of investigators/less actives who are "on the brink," and are getting ready to make some big changes in their lives. They just need to get up the courage to do it, so we are working on that a lot right now.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">You want to know a crazy story? So January 1, we were walking to the church for a lesson and we saw something in the distance on the ground, like a bike. A jogger stopped and stood over the bike, and we saw something move. A young Polish guy, a little more than slightly drunk from his new year celebrations, had fallen from his bike and was laying on the ground. A couple people stopped, but realizing he was okay, just drunk, they continued on. (this is nothing against Dutch people- they are usually incredibly serviceable by nature!) Sister Manning and I went up to him, helped the Dutch people speak English to him, then we found ourselves grabbing his bike and walking him back to the station. He said we were like nice elves, and we told him that we were from Jesus. :) Who knows if he will remember anything from that morning, but we left him with a pamphlet and a card, and it was cool to be able to have a moment like that as a missionary. There is always hope for people. :) </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Anyway, all kinds of exciting times over here in the Neverlands. I hope you are all enjoying the fabulous new 2016 and are excited for the blessings that this year will bring. You are the best.</span></div>
<div class="p2">

<span class="s1">Welcome to your last week of 2015!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Where are you right now? Are you where you thought you would be a year ago?</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I guess I am. I am still in the Neverlands, just chillin and preachin the gospel.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">So Christmas was super weird. I never want to Skype again. I am just ready to hug the cookies out of you all, so let's just do that next time. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">But Christmas was actually quite lovely this year. We were booked with appointments! On Christmas Eve, we got to have a fun little Christmas Eve program with a family of kids (sound familiar?) On first Christmas, we had a lesson with our investigator Moen and watched "Joy to the World." She loves Jesus movies. :) So do we. Then we got to eat dinner and Skype and see some cool Catholic church nativities with our branch president's little family. On 2nd Christmas (because that is a thing in the Netherlands), we had lunch with some members, went to our ward mission leader's home for gourmet ("t" is pronounced here, it's their version of indoor bbq; awesome times), and then got to visit an American member who has recently started coming back to church. Also, it was fantastic weather! Wow, thank you Heavenly Father, you must have known that Dressa was over here trying to be a missionary this year.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We feel like miracles are beginning and we are going to see a lot this transfer. I was promised that one other time on my mission, and it was one of my most miraculous transfers, so I am believing in wonderful things for this transfer. We have people to teach and have begun working with a lot of less-actives, which has always been a softie spot for me. All in all, Tilburg is the best and probably one of the promised lands.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Thank you all for your prayers and love. You make my mission a gajillion times better and I'm grateful for ya. I hope the new year brings you many blessings and happy things and not too many delicious treats so you can make your weight goals! Love to you from Nederland!</span></div>

<span class="s1">Hello Friends</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Transfers came and went. It is such a blast to be back with Sister Manning. She is a gem of a missionary and we have high hopes for the oncoming transfer. Tilburg is set up for miracles.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"> We have already seen miracles with finding new potentials and teaching lessons. We had two incredible lessons this week. One was with a new investigator who is having a hard time, but we taught her the plan of salvation, and we saw her entire countenance change. She said she felt peace and uplifted afterwards, and she could tell that the church is a good place to be. </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">The other was a first lesson taught with the Restoration pamphlet. It's a new method in our mission, and it's quite effective. We taught our lesson in a train station to a man we had met on the street last week, and although everything around us was busy, we all felt calm and could feel the Spirit and the investigator was incredibly grateful afterwards. We felt like instruments in the Lord's hands this week as we were able to see the difference that the gospel can make in someone's life in just a few short moments.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Christmas is this week and I can't even believe it. I hope you all have sparkly Christmas trees and shiny exciting presents, but most of all, I hope you have the spirit of Christ in your home and are able to feel His love. He lives, and He loves us, and through Him, we are made whole. I'm so grateful to be able to represent and testify of Him daily. </span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Much love to you all!</span></div>
<div class="p4">

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Howdy Folks!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Guess what. Next week is Christmas! Every 25 of the month since July, I have sang a Christmas song to celebrate the anniversary of the upcoming holidays. Yay!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Transfers happen again. Sister Cowles is going to Dordrecht with my good ol greenie, and I am getting my MTC comp, Sister Manning. Weird times. I have actually worked with her a lot this last transfer because she was the sister training leader's comp. Funny. But, luckily, I love her and know her so we can have a happy Christmas party.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This week we had zone conference in Antwerpen and we talked about the new Christmas campaign. I love that new video. I hope you all get the chance to share that with someone. It's easy breezy and makes everyone feel happy.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Freaky moment of the week: We lost our phone in President's car..awkward. It is scary to live in a world without a phone for the day! Ah funny times. No worries, it all worked out.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We had some awesome appointments with some great people this week, and we have some new investigating friends on the way. We did get stood up for church, and another person returned a BOM, so it's not all fun and games, but the other people are doing pretty well, so it all comes good. We don't quite have anyone progressing quickly towards baptism right now, but miracles are always on the way, so we are on the lookout for those.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Have a happy week! Drink lots of hot choclit. I will drink some warm herbal tea, cuz that's what Dutch people do.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Love from the Neverlands,</span></div>

<span class="s1">Heya Pals,</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">It's going, here in Tilburg, Nederland. Sister Cowles and I have been enjoying life, biking with helmets, talking to people on the street, knocking doors, teaching lessons, feeling our bodies settle into winter and old age. Gah. Biking is not what it used to be..</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This last week was Sinterklaas, and we celebrated that with ourselves by enjoying a nice dinner that we made and putting out our shoes so Sinterklaas could fill them. Fun holiday.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This African woman contacted us because she wanted to do missionary work with us and tell people about the second coming. Her comment, "I saw "latter-day saints" and I thought, these people know what they are talking about." Haha it's true! But we had to explain to her that we don't just talk about Jesus, we also talk about modern day prophets and another book of scripture that testifies of Christ. It seems that she missed that part, because she was just bummed that she couldn't go knock on people's doors with us. What a great soul. She'll figure it out someday. Honestly, the knocking on doors is not my favorite part of the restored gospel..</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I got made fun of for my helmet for the first time this week. And it was three times in one day. You know who they all were? Boys. Little, teenage, and adult annoying boys. I thought we looked like babes in our helmets and nun skirts...whatever.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I learned something important this week: It's all about love. I don't know about you guys, but I get kind of tired worrying about what other people think and what they're doing and all the expectations I think I need to live up to and still always feeling second rate. That gets so old. I was pondering and discussing that this week, and I realized how destructive perfectionism is. I am So prone to perfectionism. But actually, when I try to pretend like I'm perfect and can do everything and don't need anyone, my emotions override my physical systems and my body literally cannot handle it. This used to be so frustrating for me, because how is it that so many other people get away with looking perfect? </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">But this week, I had the thought that God is trying to save me from perfectionism. Perfectionism ruins our relationships and destroys our self esteem and it robs us of happiness and prevents us from loving ourself and others. And the fact is, we don't need to be better at anything before we can be happy (President Uchtorf says something similar). If I think that I need to be perfect for people to like me and for me to like myself, then I am going to be waiting for a long time and I will continually be robbing myself of happiness. Think of the people that you love and admire the very most. When you leave their presence, you want to be better. Not because they make you feel like you need to be prettier or skinnier or cooler or have nicer things or do everything in your whole entire like they do. You want to radiate love and happiness like they do. You want to have a beautiful, sparkly life filled with love and joy, and people who want to be around you because of how they feel when they're with you. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">That's why we love the Savior. Because He loves us. Because He accepts us for who we are while still helping us to improve.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I can love myself, my life, and my mission, as imperfect as all of those things are. Nobody wants to hang around someone who is fake. We love each other because we are real, and we all need each other because none of us are perfect. It's a perfect plan that God has created :) And it's all about love.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I love you all a lot, really and truly. You make my life beautiful.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Much love from Nederland,</span></div>

<span class="s1">Dearest Friends,</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Happy Sinterklaas week! December 5 is Sinterklaas, where all the Dutch children get presents in their shoes from Sinterklaas. It is a bigger deal than Christmas here, and it's a cute holiday, although strangely comparable to our Christmas in America..</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Thanksgiving was fun last week. We had dinner at our branch president's house, and his wife is American, so they knew what they were doing. It was very sweet of them to let us come over and celebrate thankfulness with them and their darling children.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Another one of my favorite moments this week was seeing a recent Chinese convert, Aimee, get her temple recommend. She was so excited and proudly showed us her little card. She will go with her husband for the first time this week. Those moments are what make missionary work, and just living the gospel, worth it. How blessed we are.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We have been trying to find some new people to teach, and people in Tilburg are actually pretty nice, but they have a hard time recognizing what it is we are offering them. I'm so grateful for all of your prayers in the behalf of the missionaries. We sure appreciate the support we get from faithful members and beloved family. I sure love you guys and am grateful for you.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">"You never know how much good you do."</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">(this is a great Mormon Message ^)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Much love,</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">
</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Old Sister Jo</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Helmets! Such cuties. I was on exchanges with Sister Manning, my MTC comp.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">And we made chocolate pies for Thanksgiving! Yummy</span></div>

<span class="s1">Dear Friends,</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">My favorite part of this week was sweet Aida's baptism. :) She was so cute and happy. She kept thanking Jesus and everybody present, even our other investigator. It was funny and endearing in her Spanish-Dutch. It's so incredible when you get to see moments like that.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We also had zone training, and Zr. Cowles and I were asked to do role play of the First Vision, and were told a real live investigator would be coming to make it seem more "real." We were so anxious! We, and all the other missionaries, were praying like crazy for this guy while we taught. It was a really Spirit-packed role play and he responded really positively, so we all got excited. Good news. The guy already has a testimony and actually got back from his mission 3 weeks ago. Ha. Darn zone leaders.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Today we played Turkey Bowl, which is always a blast. I've really come to love American football as a missionary. So funny. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">It is turkey week! Remember to be fankful for all your blessings and eat lots of yummy food. There's nothing like family this time of year. I am grateful that I have such a wonderful, supportive, gospel-loving family and that I can come be a missionary in the Neverlands. Love you guys and thanks for all you do. </span></div>

<span class="s1">Hello Friends</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Tilburg is a cool city. It's smaller than Antwerpen, but bigger than all my other cities, the branch is awesome, and Zr. Cowles is fun. She is my first comp that is not younger than me. We were actually in the same MTC group, so we know each other and that is fun. It's such a breeze to work with someone who is your same mission age. You both know what's up and just go to work. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We already have a baptism date for next week, so that is just nifty to walk into. She is a cute middle-age woman from Columbia named Aida. She was scared to get baptized because she thought it was in a big swimming pool, and she can't swim, haha so we let her practice yesterday after church. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This is my first area where there is a lot going on, and it's neat to see how quick the work is going here. These sisters have worked really hard to get it going, because Zr. Cowles and Zr. Fredrickson were actually the first sisters in Tilburg, so that makes me the third. I hope that we can see lots of miracles and just enjoy this 10th transfer of our mission. :)</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I am super into writing inspiring things down in my big notebook lately, so I'll share some thoughts with you:</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">"Above all, never lose faith in your Father in heaven, who loves you more than you can comprehend." -Elder Holland</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." Romans 5:1-5</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">God made you special, and He loves you very much. :)</span></div>
<div class="p2">

<span class="s1">Hey over there</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Let's start off positive: Ann is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!!! :D It was beautiful. Her friend from Arizona, that introduced her to the Church, came to baptize her. So cool. The service was lovely, and Ann was all glowy and pretty. I am so proud of her. She is a wonderful person and is going to have a wonderful life.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We also had Canadian Thanksgiving this week (ya, I didn't know it was a thing either) because Elder Holt is going home to Canadia this week. Ah it was so Belgian and so fun. We had it with Steffi and her mom, and we ate Belgian turkey and stuffing. Haha I love them.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Goodbye Antwerpen. Hello Tilburg, and the Neverlands. Don't say anything to me about it.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Also, literally for the record, Sister Faa is a wonderful wonderful companion and person, and she takes such good care of me and is one of my bestest friends. She is a great missionary and I love her guts (except her cyst, I don't love that guy). Shout out to best comp! :D Also, my other bestest friends, Sista Young and Sista Bradley. What beauties. This has been an incredible transfer with them. I will forever be grateful for these incredible women in my life, and I hope you all get to meet them someday. #4man #crazywithareason </span></div>

<span class="s1">Goede dag! </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We made it to November, friends. Congrats. I hope Halloween was a bucket of laughs and treats for ya. Halloween is becoming more of a thing here, kinda funny. Our ward did have an activity, but our cute little old mission leader had us over for dinner instead (he and his wife don't believe in Halloween). Funny times.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Cool experience: We went to go look up a less active with some spare time we had, and she was actually home this time. Not only that, she let us come in and was thrilled to see us. We were the first sisters ever at her house. 😊 We quickly became good friends and she brought her cute little family to church the next day. Yay friends 😄</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Sister Young came on exchanges with me and we met the coolest American mom and thought she was Dutch! She was happy to meet us too, and is going to becoming friends with us after fall vacation. I love Americans.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I also went on exchanges to Gent with Zr. Robbins and it was cool to see how much the work is progressing in our other areas. They work a lot with young adults, and let me tell you, the young adults over here are incredible. They are strong and valiant and super fun for missionaries. They are an example for me.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Sister Faa and I are doing well, just enjoying the freakiness of the transfer together. We are better pals than ever and are just hanging in there and trying to get the work done. We so appreciate your prayers in our behalf! What saints you all are. You are in my prayers, too.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Happy birfday Samyo! </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Have a beautiful warm week!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Much love,</span></div>

<span class="s1">Bonjour!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Did you know that half of Belgium speaks Dutch (Flams) and the other half speaks French? If we go down to that half, no one understands us.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Missionary work has taken a turn here in Antwerpen. It doesn't involve doors or street contacting or finding members for joint teach. But we have four progressing investigators, and they all wear a name badge. We have united with another set of sisters in order to "save one of our own," and I feel so privileged to be a part of this scene in Heavenly Father's perfect plot. I am learning about patience and love and kindness and endless other valuable relationship skills. I have never felt like I was being so prepared to become a wife and mother, and what a blessing to receive those lessons while in the mission field. Thanks so much for your prayers, they are truly sustaining us right now.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We did have cool experiences with dear little Ann this week. We had a spectacular dinner appointment where we talked about noticing God's hand in your life and then a dinner appointment at Ann's house with her visiting sister who unexpectedly wanted to know about the plan of salvation. The gospel is powerful. My favorite part was when Ann bore testimony to her sister, saying that she had found hope in the gospel. This really does change lives, people.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This week is Halloween! And my old man's happy birthday! Happy Birthday, young buck! :D Eat lots of treats and enjoy your week. God still blesses us, even on creepy holidays. :)</span></div>

<span class="s1">Hi over there!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This week was temple conference, and it was beautiful. :) I am so grateful for the temple, and the blessing of always having one close by. I loved focusing on the Atonement this time I went, and pondering how Adam and Eve were the first to receive the blessings of the Atonement. They had to believe that the Savior would come and save them from their fall. That is a different kind of faith than we use to believe that He has taken it all on Himself.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Zr. Faa has not been doing too hot, so this week was a little slow. But God still let us have miracles and we keep getting referrals and appointments and I am grateful. Phew. This is all in God's hands.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Thanks for your prayers, in my behalf and in behalf of those around me. :) You are blessed people.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Much love,</span></div>
<br />

<span class="s1">Dearest of Friends,</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Welcome! To another weekly letter from Sister Johanson the Old.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Miracles are everywhere, especially when you look for them, and especially especially when you've been waiting for them. We have begun teaching! I like teaching. We have taught several 1st lessons in the last two weeks, and they have all been to women. All of these women, except for one, have been moms with kids at home. I find that amazing. And each one is more positive than the last. It has been incredible to testify of Joseph Smith and the Restoration and of my Savior - some of my favorite topics :) - and see the potential for change for the better for these daughters of God and their families. If you would like to have some names to pray about this week, here you go: Inge, Ellen, Romela, Jannick, Samantha, Nathalie (not new, but still falls into this category).</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Ann is still doing great. :) She is the cutest, sassiest little Asian, and does so much good. Baptism is still good for November 8, and everyone is getting excited for her.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Cool personal miracle of the week: 2 things you first need to know- 1. We never catch the tram 2.The crosswalk light is always red (usually causing us to miss the tram). We were going to walk to an appointment, because we didn't think we would make the tram Tuesday morning. But as we walked up to the crosswalk, the tram came. And then the light turned green. Yay! So we ran onto the tram. We sat down, and across the aisle, there was an open newspaper folded in half. It said "South Carolina" and had pictures of flooding. I know that place. I picked up the newspaper, and was able to read about Ali's area and what she is probably dealing with. I was so surprised, but felt at peace, knowing that God would watch over my sister missionary. I felt so loved knowing that God had made that all work out so that I could get an update on my favorite person and receive a reassurance that she's okay. Incredible. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I hope things are okay, wherever you're at. I have so much love for you and am grateful for your faithful prayers. I pray for you too.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Much love,</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">

<span class="s1">Sister Johanson the 1st</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">They have bread vending machines here... what da heck</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Uh, check out that super "Dressa face" in case you were worried I changed..</span><br />

<span class="s1">Dear Friends,</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I would say that this week went well.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We were able to teach two awesome first lessons! And we set an appointment on the door to go back and teach another one this next week. All three of these are women with children at home, which I think is not coincidence. We need strong moms, and moms need the gospel.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Speaking of which, wasn't General Conference amazing? I think my favorite talk was Elder Holland's, because it made me cry and want to hug my mom fifty zillion times. And Elder Foster talked about dad's, and I just thought, wow, why was I so blessed to have angels sent to me in the form of my parents? </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">My theme for General Conference was "trust in God." That's something I'm trying to work on, and will obviously be a life long process.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Ann watched GC with us at the Schiltz, and we ate delicious Thai food. What a little wonder woman. We continue to help her prepare for baptism in November. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I was a good citizen this week. Our tram was coming, and the light to cross the non-busy street turned red right as we got to it. At this serendipitous moment, a flock of small children with their teachers came walking down the street. Dilemma: Run across the street to catch our tram and set a bad example for the impressionable young people, or wait like good citizens and representatives of the Church and miss our tram? The teachers tested their children: "Can we cross the street?" A chorus of chipper voices: "No!" "And why not?" responded the teacher, with a direct look at the sister missionaries. "It is red!" "Yes, and we must wait, even if there is a tram." Oh. Oh. We must spare the young people. Obviously we did not make that tram. We and the teachers had a good laugh together. :) </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Other fun times: When you are about to talk to someone on the street, they wave you away, and your comp says "oh, we just wanted to ask for directions. Do you know where this is?" They get very red and apologize and then help us. See, kindness is key. :) Missionaries are not so scary.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Also, we had a number of people talk to us first this week. An African man on a tram, who is actually an inactive member, a Russian guy on the street who recognized us as Mormons, and also some intimidating other-religion people.. But still, that is very convenient of them.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Happy birthday to Savy this week! And happy October to the rest of you! Yay for cold season. Stay healthy and happy and warm and blessed. :)</span></div>

<span class="s1">Good Morning, Friends</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I realize that sometimes (many times) my weekly emails are rather crumbly- I eat lots of delicious crunchy toast during the week and all I leave for you to see is the crumbs- and I apologize. I will try to write better ones. Sometimes. :)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Okay, so this week began great with family home evening with family Sariki! We adore them. They are from Africa and have 4 teenage kids. Having family home evening with them makes my mission feel worth it. Truly, there is so much love and the Spirit is strong and we have so much fun together. This week, we had them write a "thank you note" to the Savior. It was a lovely lesson. And then, as I am much accustomed to at house Johanson, we had our favorite part and that was enjoying many delicious treats. :)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We had zone training on Tuesday, and that is always uplifting and helpful. We are still focusing on ward members and how to use the scriptures effectively as well as making sure that we ourselves are personally converted. Important stuff.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We went back to our friend Piet this week, whose house is a museum and gives us golden spoons to eat our garnished ice cream with. He says we can't convert him, but he loves it when we sing "Joseph Smith's First Prayer" and says that we have to sing it every time we come. (haha I do not think he realizes fully that it is about Joseph Smith and the Restoration..) Evidence that the Spirit of the Restoration is powerful no matter who you are.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">On Saturday we had sisters conference! I want you to know that the sisters in this mission are incredible. We are so blessed. Each sister is beautiful and bright and loving and hard working. There is no one to dread as a new companion. :)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Speaking of which, transfers came, and Sister Faa and I are staying! Phew, good.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>

<span class="s1">Also, I had a dream that I came home, and my parents were disappointed in me for not being a good missionary. I wanted to argue back, but I knew in my heart that I wasn't a good missionary because I had given up and hadn't worked or helped like I could have. I didn't even have the "RM glow." I woke up realizing that I gotta go home with no regrets! Fellow missionaries, trust me, you don't want to go home with regrets and guilt and knowing that you didn't do your best. You don't have the Spirit with you, and it feels awful. Don't give up! Go hard or go home! We have got to do all we can, and we can do that, through Christ, which strengthens us.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">It goes slow here in Belgium, but good. This week I got to go on double exchanges because poor Sister Faa was sick. (she is better now) Ann has a baptismal date for November 8, and we couldn't be more excited for her. The ward here is just embracing her, and I think that it is good for them and for her. We could all use a little more unity in our wards and missionary efforts.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">If you need inspiration for doing missionary work, watch on <a href="http://lds.org/"><span class="s2">lds.org</span></a> "The Lord of the Harvest: The Adams Family" and "I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go." We are starting to share these with our ward.</span></div>
<div class="p2">

<span class="s1">Howdy Folks!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">(is that a Dad line or what?)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Things come and go, like people and time and stress, and we are still missionaries here in Antwerpen. My favorite happening this week was probably the Mormon Arts Festival here at our church building. Mormon musicians and artists from all over Belgium and the Netherlands came to present their work and perform at a free event for everyone in the area. There was so much talent! I was incredibly impressed. Mormons are the coolest.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Zr. Faa had her bike stolen. That was sad. My bike was still sitting next to it, with her lock chain around it. Ha go figure. We will be taking many trams for a little while.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Ann, our dearest of dear investigators (and only..), continues to be wonderful. She is an incredible example of someone who takes the initiative to immerse herself in the gospel, and acts instead of being acted upon. We had dinner at the Schiltz yesterday with her, and for our spiritual thought, everyone wrote thank you letters to Jesus while I played the piano in the background. It was powerful. (highly recommended, fellow missionaries)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Well, this week I've been a missionary for a whole year now. I can't believe that I've been waking up at 6:30 every day for an entire year. But the next 6 months, rather than my "molding" period, I think will be more "refining" - I will be solidifying the person that I want to be when I go home. I have so many goals! As they say here in Dutch, "it comes good." </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I send much love and pleasant thoughts to you all. I hope wherever you are at is treating you well. Have a good week and tot ziens!</span></div>

<span class="s1">Good Morning America,</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">It´s gray in Belgium, but we've got enough sunshine in our souls to keep the rain at bay.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We had an investigator at church! Actually, we met her at church. She lived here before, then moved to Paris and was taught all the lessons, and now is back and ready to be baptized. We accepted. :) Ann is such a sweetheart, and we are excited to work with her.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We had an exciting day this week with an old gentleman named Piet, who is an avid collector of old things. We ate homemade pie with silver forks and ice cream with golden spoons. I kid you not. We gave him a Book of Mormon and are planning to return next week.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Zr. Faa turned 20 this week! We made cupcakes from a box from America and had a party with family Sariki. They are a fantastic African family with 4 teenagers and they are always ready to laugh with us. Mission birthdays are the best.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We continue the "finding efforts" and pray for missionary efforts. Hope you're all doing the same, you member missionaries you. ;) Love to you all.</span></div>

<span class="s1">Ahoy!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This week was so long but so quick. But that's just mission timing.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We had the opportunity to go to zone conference this week and listen to Elder Dyches of the 70. A couple days before, I felt like I was missing "something," but didn't know what it was. I felt like I found a lot of answers at zone conference. Elder Dyches talked to us about using our planners effectively and our time wisely, and I was grateful for the reminder and the tips that can help me be a more effective missionary. He also talked a lot about strengthening our relationships with members, which is actually something that Sister Faa and I really want to focus on this transfer. We left feeling inspired and ready to work hard.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Yesterday in church was a missionary farewell, and all the speakers spoke about their missions. It was so strange to sit and listen to someone talk about a mission as a past experience, as I am sitting here living my mission experience. The new missionary read his call letter, and my heart skipped and the Spirit overwhelmed me, just like it did when I first read my very own mission call. What a blessing to be a missionary.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We went to a stake picnic the other day, and I got to see some of my old Lokeren friends, including my best friend Michelle! ;) It was a fun activity, and I hope that we can do more like that; I feel like it really strengthens the members and is a great opportunity for missionaries to get to know the members. (hint hint)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I hope you are all enjoying life as you return to school and normal schedules and anticipate the oncoming fall weather. Yay September! Happy B-day little Ammon, and happy baptism! (ha my very first baptism on my mission ;) ) Love you all!</span></div>
