Dear Family
I still feel like I'm 17 years old I probably still act like it. but time is just so quick it's not fair.This morning though my companion got ill he's got food poison. Patrick Flynn should be coming down today. We are going up to Buderim falls to have a lunch with him it should be good. I'm Excited I love this Man so much and I just don't know how to help him to make the ultimate show of commitment baptism. This week not much has happened it been really slow we have had some unplanned service activities which has taken up some of our time. and also we were in Brisbane for two day for Golden Orientation For Elder Leach. I got to work with the Logan Zone Leaders it was fun. Their area is like the Ghetto where all the stabbing happen. but As we were door knocking met some of the most humble people. Wasn't really scary, was a really good experience. We then went back and the trainers received some training and after it was so weird cause this was the first time I met President McSwain it was just so relaxed so weird. Missionaries were taking photos with him for like 20 min after the meeting. That would be a big no no with President Henderson. But He is brilliant bring a new vibe to the mission and is also very powerful with the scriptures. I wish I could stay longer and learn so much more from him. But on Sunday Night we had a lesson with a Less active member who was a Convert to the Church 3 years ago by the sister Missionaries. He has falling into a path of drugs. and Has been seeking help to get back on his feet. And he got in contact with us and when we went over the spirit directed the lesson and was just so very powerful! and also are now teaching his roommate Oliy which was super cool. It just felt so good to teach and to have some one act upon what you have taught and shared its one of the best feelings. I feel so bad for him been trying to help him. I know that god lives! He prepares people and that he wants to bless his children and that through what we do. We can become powerful tools in the hand of the Lord. I love you! Have a wonderful Week.
Love,
Elder S. Johnson

Also I've been trying to do a bit of family history and I've been trying to find some records for Dads side. For Our Great Great Great Grand Pa (John August Nilsson) If that is even his name. So if you could help with this search that would be fantastic. I've probably have spent a total of like 10 hours my whole mission to find him and I'm getting frustrated. and All I know is that they are from Sweden and thats it. Feel the Spirit of Elijah!
