Hello everyone!!! Well it is just a great week here in Newark...I think part of the reason why is because I just learned I am leaving :) ...Getting transfered tomorrow and still dont know where it is I am going for sure. But I have a few things pointing to going to Elizibeth (also a city area...woo hoo urban jungles). Don't get me wrong though, its not that I hate Newark...its just after 6 months the Ward/Area have taken their toll on me and I feel very much so excited to go somewhere new.
I actually am slightly surprised as well because of a call I received last night. President Bahr called me and asked me to serve as a Zone Leader... I am really excited, and feel pretty honored because Zone Leaders are always the Elders that I have looked up to my whole mission. Plus, I have loved being a District Leader and I imagine that Zone Leader is more of the same opportunity to help/serve...which I love doing.
Besides that it was basically just a big "detour week" ....thats what we've been saying at least. With the weirdness of the 2 areas being covered and odd exchanges and stuff...plus the oddity of near constant road work and literal detours just made it "detour week" here in Newark. ...fairly normal in terms of the work though.
We started teaching an unbaptized little brother of a member who wants to be baptized and will be aug. 15th ....that was way exciting :)
Random weird tid bit...one day we met a man who said he was God and saw another in a news paper that aparently was Jesus Christ. We were one member short from meeting, in person, the entire trinity! ...Newark is just crazy lol.
Anyways its busy here at the library today and I'm getting the boot... =/ Much love though! Talk to ya later,
Elder Johnson

Last week Colter would come down the slide, dive in the water, come up sputtering with water everywhere & yell at the top of his lungs: COLTER ROCKS! I can't help but think of you the same way...moving fast, sputtering a bit, but always, ALWAYS shouting at the top of your lungs: ELDER JOHNSON ROCKS! At least that's what we're shouting each and every day. We love you Benny!!!!!
your beloved fam <3
