Lisbon Transfer Three Week Five

hey everyone!!! this week has been incredible!!! the best ...until i found out im leaving last night. im really sad bout that. i love this area and elder johnson and am really sad to see it go. i hope ill be close enough to come back at some point during my mission. anyways. we have seen so many miracles this week. elder johnson and i have really had our prayers answered. lets see i dont even know where to start. in the beginning of the week we got a call from an inactive member of the ward who is engaged to a non member and she wanted to take the lessons so we set up a time and went over there. her name is brittnay. the lesson went amazing! one of the best ones ever. she loved it and could feel the spirit. you could see in her eyes the excitement that she had to learn about the gospel of jesus christ. then on sunday she was working but andrew (her fiance) came to church and even bore his testimony! it was awesome. they are fun people too so its awesome to be teaching them. we are going to set a baptismal date with her tonight too so were excited. i wish i could be staying to continue teaching her. we also have seen heather a couple times this week and recommitted her to baptism on aug 28th. she is really set about making it this time. the new way we have been taught to commit people to baptism has helped so much and helps us to resolve their concerns and help them understand how they need it and want it. we had another amazing lesson this week with a part member family the pragers. she just started coming back to church and her husband started out not having anything to do with us. when we came over he would go in the other room and slowly started talkin to us and stuff. well last time we went over there we taught a quick lesson about joseph smith and prayer and invited him to pray before we left. he didnt want to at first but we helped him understand that he could and kinda helped him want to and he finally said the prayer. it was the first prayer that he had ever said in his life. it was pretty good too. the spirit was so strong and his wife was crying and just really happy and excited. the next day at church everyone was like "hear you had an awesome lesson with the pragers!" and it was weird cuz we had no idea how they knew but turns out she posted somethin on facebook so that was kinda funny. it helped the ward kinda be excited bout missionary work. hopefully it sticks. also at church on sunday two random people walked in for sacrament. so we wanted to talk to them but they left before we could get over there after the meeting so we kinda ran outside as they were getting in the car and knocked on the car door to talk to em lol. turns out they work with a really less active lady and wanted to see what the church was all about. so that was cool. wish they woulda stayed but it was still awesome. then on monday we were walking down the street and talked to this guy bout nineteen years old and he had taken the lessons before from missionaries and was really excited to see us and remembers alot of it and really wanted us to come over and teach him and to come to church which is sweet! you never run into someone like that. so we talked to him for a while and e johnson and the new guy will be teaching him. im really sad to see this area go but ill like the next one too im sure. i know the lord hears and answers prayers. ill let you know where im at next week. love you all!
