April 20th 2010

Family.....

DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAD skunk in the middle a the road....there’s a deeeeaaadd SKUNK in the middle uh the road... I sang that today.. I did.

I hope you enjoyed the scripture last week. everything is great here! I’m so excited about Heidi’s little girl and it was so great to see pictures! I’ve replied to pretty much all the e-mails I’ve received so if i haven’t written back.. i guess i haven’t gotten it ; ( So Mom! Thank you for you e-mail! I am glad it’s warming up for you ; ) I hope you are getting my letters home as well! I got to play the piano (i am a child of god) piece for sacrament this week... I prayed very hard to do alright and the spirit blessed my hands to not shake ; ) Prayer is powerful! I love you all dearly! Thanks for the letters from the girls as well. Dad thank you for you thoughts that you send through the missionary ties.... Elder Walrdon and I have been having some greats talks in the temple and I love that we can discuss things like I used to with you! It’s such a blessing.. I don’t know what I’m going to do after having a companion that i get along with so well! Haley... if you are still moving.. i can’t believe it! mom we got an A+++ on our cleaning check... they even noted give the other missionaries lessons!``

FRIENDS - I want to make sure none of you are a worrying about that status of my hair and balding-ness. . . because without a doubt ill come home bald... so you don’t even have to worry! ha-ha. I got to go to the opera this last week, and by opera i mean barber at the ctm, and by barber i mean little Brazilian man that looks like that father from my big fat Greek wedding! he sang the whole time while cutting my hair.. such a jolly man, i love him.... it took him 5 minutes...FLAT... and he does that alllll day. Try that Haley! We get to go preslyting on the real streets of brazil in three days... I’m going crazy and I’m so excited; nervous...we also have elder nelson coming! Quick thought… I read a quote the other day that I loved "a man is seldom greater than his person prayers'. . . make sure the lord knows the desires of your hearts... if you are aspiring to be great while on your knees... then you most likely never will be... let the lord help you get there. Another thought.... replace the words I NEED with I WANT... seldom do we NEED something... it’s helped me realized how much the lord has truly given me. I love you all, have to run!

-Elder Johnson
