Week #2 E-Mail Received 5/4/08

Hey all!!!
The work is moving on. Tracting went well. I got to go with one of the teachers so that was really really great. It was a perfect senior/junior companion experience. We did one street in two hours, and had some really great converstions with people. We never got in and we didn't give out any book of mormoms but it was still a good experience. I learned that i still have a lot to learn, but it was a really huge confidence booster cause I SURVIVED!!!! I didn't get yelled at, no dogs chased me, the sun shining and i was happy. I probably shouldn't get used to that days like that though huh. At the MTC we have 40 mins to do email a week. Either on Saturday or sunday depending on the district. So im sorry if you were freaking out but my district landed on sunday thisweek, thats just how the cookie crumbles. The MTC is amazing though. The teachers are amazing and the president is awesome. He is an amazing man. Joins my list of spiritual giants and i have only known him for 10 days. Heather you would absolutly love him. He is your favorite type of old person. All smiles and cute beyond all belief. You would love him i just know it. The one thing that i have missed a lot is mixing. Im doing ok without music, but its the sound stuff that i miss a lot. They have somewireless stuff here and what not and they have had some problems and guess who has fixed them? So that has helped. I have gained a new lovefor singing. I have dads spirit and everyone knows that i am a musician. Last night me and a couple elders were just singing kinda a open book hymn sing in the big meeting room. I started it and i think that i am going to try to do that more. A great way to close the day. But anyways there is a lot in the letters that i have sent, including a lot about the temple. OH MY THE TEMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its is awe inspiring. The next section is going to be more people specific so if you could get them to the people that would be great. Don't worry about me though i am doing great. learning a lot, and i am already a different man than i waswhen i left. MUCH different!!!!!

Love you all,
Elder Johnson
