Dear Family, I am rushed for time. I will owe you a really long and proper letter next week. I have so many things to tell you about, but time just is not my friend right now. For instance, I had the WORST day of my mission last Tuesday but in the end, it all turned out for the better. Catchy? If I were to tell you that I got hit by a car would that make it even catchier? I tell you all about it.... next week! I just want you all to know that this church is true. President Thomas S. Monson is a prophet. He has all of the keys and authority to receive revelation for the human race. WOW. What a responsibility. I love this Gospel. It is like a fire in my heart. I love the Mercy of God, and how He always makes things work out for our benefit. He knows each and every one of us. He knows our very desires. The only way to return to Him is to give our BEST effort. I know that I am not perfect, and that just increases my love for the Gospel. God has given us a second chance. Due to the great and atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we will live again, and we can be made clean. I love him, just as I love all of you. I wish you all the best week. Love, Elder Johnson
