ELDER JULIUS JOHNSON: 01/05/15 Some Weeks
http://elderjuliusmilesjohnson.blogspot.com/2015/03/010515-some-weeks.html
Mar 1, 2015. Some weeks are stressful as a missionary. Especially when working as Elder Cook put it, "On the front lines, where the pickings are slim and you (the missionaries) are all we got.". And then.we waited. Waited for the truck and further direction. To our surprise, we learned that the new building in Bali (a neighborhood) was not yet open. The old renters had yet to leave! Well, where are we putting everything? For the time being, we’re holding church in a hotel! Hotel Piano. We rented out ...

http://elderjuliusmilesjohnson.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Jun 26, 2013. 06-26-13 Safe Arrival to Africa / Point Noire. Thought I'd share this email to let all of you know that Julius has arrived in Africa safely:. We want to let you know that your sons have arrived in Pointe Noire safely. It was getting dark when they arrived and it took us a while to get them delivered to their apartments, the traffic seemed to be very bad tonight. We will send some information about Pointe Noire, post box numbers etc. tomorrow. Elder and Sister Wheatley. Jun 24, 2013. On Satu...

ELDER JULIUS JOHNSON: May 2013
http://elderjuliusmilesjohnson.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
May 27, 2013. 05-27-13 Week 2 of 6 in the MTC. Hi Since Julius can't update the blog himself for the next 2 years, I'll post a weekly update using his email, and hopefully we'll get some pics soon. For those that may not know, missionaries are not allowed to be on social media. He can email me weekly and send letters to everyone. We are not sure how long letters will take to get here from Africa. Teaching the first vision went amazingly well. That seemed to do and help everything fall into place. On our ...

ELDER JULIUS JOHNSON: August 2013
http://elderjuliusmilesjohnson.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Aug 26, 2013. 08-26-2013 Danger, Will Robinson! I typed out a long email explaining our investigators, but it was lost in cyber space! So basically this week, in a nut shell – it’s been long - 7 lessons daily and working with really sick members who needed blessings. Helping baptismal candidates overcome word of wisdom. Problems (which was successful! Urlion got into a university in Gabon! All is truly well in Zion here! We are working hard and having a blast! I hope all is well at home for everyone!

ELDER JULIUS JOHNSON: September 2013
http://elderjuliusmilesjohnson.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sep 23, 2013. 09/23/13 What Do You Call an Alligator in a Vest? The adventures in Africa continue as normal. We went to a lake last Monday and romped around the "back-woods of Africa" haha. I played football with some Africa boys and by the end they were catching everything I could throw. So that was a good start to the week and we have had some other great experiences. Elder Baker left for Mpaka branch on Friday, but Lundberg (my new companion) was nowhere to be found! Beatrice, is another young lady wh...

http://elderjuliusmilesjohnson.blogspot.com/2015/04/041315-africa-to-america-church-ball-is.html
Apr 21, 2015. 04/13/15 Africa to America; Church-Ball is the Same. Sounds like life is insanely exciting for all of you, and just in time. For my return; I’m excited to jump back into the mix and help out. It’s obviously weird that I’ve got 2 weeks left and then - done - it's. Over So as we need to organize some stuff for my return, let’s start. The Baileys told me about the money situation, which will be awesome. I know there are western unions here but not really sure about the. Rules are broken becaus...

ELDER JULIUS JOHNSON: 01/26/15 A Week of Faith
http://elderjuliusmilesjohnson.blogspot.com/2015/03/012615-week-of-faith_7.html
Mar 7, 2015. 01/26/15 A Week of Faith. I think in total we had 9 lessons this week. Yeah, pretty low. And the worst part is its dry season, which means it’s SO hot out here, and we spend most of the day outside walking from place to place. Seems like I’m in for some hard work until the end. 8221; when they should’ve gone like this “Ok we don’t have electricity, Brother - - will you please call temporal affairs and inform them of our problem.”. These kinds of conversations really didn’t lead anywhere.

ELDER JULIUS JOHNSON: 02/09/15 Just Mandefu
http://elderjuliusmilesjohnson.blogspot.com/2015/03/020915-just-mandefu.html
Mar 1, 2015. The news about the Book of Mormon, is probably the best thing that I’ve heard all week! That’s awesome that you guys are trying to finish the book of Mormon before I get home – I’m actually working on the same thing out here. So it’ll be perfect, our next read through will be a as a family! The Book of Mormon is. Best of luck on the endeavor. So with my new sector, I’m still with the same senior couple – the Colemans. As for the work it’s been HARD! 12/08/14 Two for Two. Mission in the Congo.

ELDER JULIUS JOHNSON: 03/02/15 Truck Lights and the South Africa Temple
http://elderjuliusmilesjohnson.blogspot.com/2015/04/030215-truck-lights-and-south-africa.html
Apr 21, 2015. 03/02/15 Truck Lights and the South Africa Temple. It is a crazy feeling to know that I’m weeks away from that plane trip home. It kinda feels unreal, like I’m never really going to go home, I’m just going to leave and continue my mission elsewhere! But until that day, like you said we are working hard. Well, I’ve never seen (but have heard about past) exorcisms; instead we get kinda the opposite. We spend time with general authorities! 8221; SO SICK! Some might say ‘yeah, that’...President...
