Year 3.



 Hello peoplleeeee


Well this is it. It's been 2 years and 10 days. I'll be released next Wednesday, and return home Sunday the 16th.
My REAL final message apart from this little email will be given in-person at a sacrament meeting on March 9th. Yall better show up.


Anyways here is my final testimony in papers before ya get my final testimony in-person:

Id just like to say that being called to represent the Lord and His church to God's children has been the most rewarding and growth inducing experience in my life. I am so glad that God trusts his kids to do such important things. 

I know that Jesus Christ is God's son. I know that through his atonement He has the power to save us. His Gospel is how we access that saving power.
I testify that Jesus Christ's gospel, although lost for many years, has been restored by the prophet Joseph Smith, who was called by Jesus Christ. I testify that the Book of Mormon is God's word to a branch of Israel and that their words have been preserved for us. Seriously man if you read that thing it's undeniably real and for us. It is through the Holy Spirit I've felt while reading that book that I can say and do these things.

I'd like to say to anybody desiring to serve the Lord, whether as a full-time missionary or as an everyday disciple of Christ, that you can have 100% confidence in God's word. 
When God calls, you can follow his voice without a doubt.
It's funny to me how there are so many prophets (Enoch, Moses, Jeramias, Joseph Smith ect) who start off their story getting called by God, and one of their first thoughts can be "wait a second Lord, you sure you called the right person here?" 
But don't worry because guess who is the only person who knows you better than you? YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER! Therefore, God knowing you're potential way better than you do, he is the one worthy of telling you what you can do. Not yourself.
So chill out and keep the commandments and you're gunna be fine son.

It is after doing what God asks that we recieve every one of the best things we can recieve in life and in Eternity.

This may look like the end but we are just getting started 💪✊️

Así que no se precupe. Solo acupase.

God loves you all a ton. I do too. 

- Con amor, Elder Johnson

finishing the final mission temple trip wit da bois:   Hello people. I've been living here for about a year and a half now. I don't know how many of you still survive seeing these emails but if you do le felicito. I accidentally sat down and wrote way too much this week so sorry for the long email. Today in the office work we´re sending home all the hermanas from my generation of missionaries. H. Lindsay asked me how I felt that they were all going home now and I still gotta be here for another 6 months. That was pretty savage of her but alright.  Jaja no but honestly it is super cool. One of my favorite phrases I've heard from President Choy recently about our missionary service is: "We are Just. Getting. Started." A long spiritual thought... Right now as missionaries, we just show up here as high school kids and as for our knowledge and testimony of the impact of the doctrine of Christ, many times we´re like little newborn kittens just barely starting to open ...

My Journal for the last month. Wedding, baptisms, and Cockroaches

I really haven't had a lot of time to journal in the past weeks, so this email is kind of going to be my opportunity to journal down the most meaningful things for me in the last month while I have a computer for a few hours. Enjoy! Carlos and Sarai I think I told you guys about how on our 2nd day here we found a crazy guy on the street named Edwin who brought us over to his family. Well now we've found that his sister Roxanna is an inactive church member who was baptised when she was about 15, and stopped going when her daughter was born. She was converted when she was given a Book of Mormon and chose to try and read it even though she didn't know how to read before. But with that book Roxanna not only learned how to read, but she felt the spirit testify to her heart and mind the truthfulness of the gospel and was baptised!            Well anyways that was like 30 years ago, but now when we found her family thanks to Edwin, we started meetin...
