I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU

Dear those,
"Adam fell that men might be. And men are that they might have joy."
This scripture says a lot. I get the feeling that those who are close to me only have the scripture that is in Doctrine and Covenants 4 stuck in the heads which says...
"With an eye, single to the glory of god"
Yeah, I know that you think that it will make me unfocused. I know that you want me to forget about life before the mission. But as it says in 2 Nephi. "men are that they might have JOY" (exclamation added)
After I heard this week that those close to me didn't let me know of such valuable information I became saddened. Devastated! The New York Yankees win the world series and no one tells me!! I cried for days and days. Never let this happen again.
This week will be the baptism of Wanderson. I'm super excited for him. He has already introduced us to a lot of his friends who went to church on Sunday. Lets see if here in the next few weeks I can get them in the water as well.
Tomorrow is mission conference which means.. you said it, spiritually uplifting experience along with things that no one wants such as letters and stuff.
Well troops, i forgive you for this one but as they say..."fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, shame on me again, but fool me a 3rd time and i come out firing.’
PARABÈNS RUSSELL! Russell Mads Johnson is the fan of the week this week. He truly has his heart in the right place. He put a picture of me playing baseball on his debit card. I'm not saying that you all need to put my beautiful face on your cards, but thanks for the support Russell! It is because of people like you that made this past year possible. Keep it UP!
So you have all been asking me what I want for Christmas and here is my answer. I thought a lot about it and I came to this conclusion.....
"no more lives torn apart, then wars would never start, and life would be one heart! And everyone would have a friend, and life would always win, and love would never end. Ohohoh. This is my grown up Christmas list!"
TCHAU TO ALL!!!

Elder Johnson
