Thanks for the letter from Adam mom I took a picture and I will read it later!
Hales... the songs didn't work... it just isnt meant to be! haha
Loved the updates Stephy! You had me cracking up thinking about Bug praying out of impacience and Savvy's hilarious drawings. . . I hope everyone still loves you when you are grumpy ; ) I know they do : ) hehe. I LOVED the pictures and I will print them off soon! The blog excepts really is a great idea cause it keeps me super updated and I can have a brief glimpse of what is going on.
Sad news for BYU but what an AWESOME season. God put my on the mission this year so I wouldn't dislike the Jazz for the rest of my life and get super frustrated with byu for not making one more free-throw. : )
So much love to all of you! Still can believe how fast time is flying. yikes.
Hales, thanks for the picture as well!
I received and replied to letters from Mom Dad and Hales! Dad thanks for the article, the journal thoughts and the thought you sent out to the family. Your letter will be sent out tomorrow! I am sorry I don't get more handwritten or even e-mail off to you.
A minha família é realmente só o filé. . . gíria, pois eu acho que vocês não vão entender, nem poderão usar o tradutor eletrônico! . . . até mais!
To all -
Man these weeks are just flying by. I had the pleasure of seeing a young man that I baptized in my 2nd area this week. He has been a members now for 5 months. He and his girlfriend are both going to go on missions and he is curently serving as the ward sercretary. I just can't put in words the joy that comes with this service. Seriously it is something deeper than any smile that you can put on a face, but something that touches the heart in an indescibable way.
I also received an e-mail from a young man in my last area today who told me of his joy in seeing his siblings being baptized. He told me that his mother is currently reading the Book of Mormon and that he is already taking a missionary preparations course as to be as prepared as he can for the mission that he is planning to serve. One more great big smile on my face. I love these people.
We are currently teaching a young man named Joseph Smith. Yeah, the biggest coincidence EVER right? His mom heard the name when she met the missionaries YEARS ago and gave him the same name. He is 14 years old and told us that he ponders a lot about which church is true. Identical story. He went to church for the first time this week after having met the missionaries 2 years ago and afterwards told me that he had recieved his answer...(that the church was true). In the end, we are planning to baptize Joseph Smith this week and the week after we have marked the baptism of a man named Messiah and his family. I will keep you informed but if all goes well we will soon be baptizing the 2 most important men in the history of the world! hehe. In all seriousness, we will be praying fervently this week for Messiah to be able to stop smoking...your prayers could also make the difference. He has smoked for 22 years and never tried to stop. Miracles can and will happen!
Slept in a hammock for the first time two nights and and again last night. . . successful. . . I am turning Brasilian finally. . maybe. Haha.
I am 100% stoked for conference and I hope that all of your will be able to watch all the sessions! I know that as President Eyring said, if we seek in each word, each hymn, each prayer of this conference, the guidance of the Lord, we will receive His will for us. I know more than ever that Thomas S. Monson is THE prophet of God on Earth, and that The Book of Mormon is true. Without these two things, we have no religion!
Love to all -
Elder Johnson : )
P.S. - - There is a new hit in our house on Pday . . it is called "Hopscotch"
