Hey Guys! Sorry it's taken me so long to get things updated.... Things are crazy with Christmas. Thankfully the Taylors have kept you up to date on their end.
Here is one of his last letters, posted on December 4th
Hi Parent Units.
I miss you faces lots! I made a Christmas List, it's a pretty good list. None of them are necissary but you said to thing about it. So I did.
Right now we have 4 people with baptism dates set but we think only 2 of them will keep them. But on the bright side, we are planning on setting 4 more this week! Miracles are happening here in Penn Yan! Yesterday at church, 3 of our recent converts bore, boar, boor, beared? their testimonies.
There's this video we watch with people this time of year and it's got tons of scenes from Temple Square during Christmas time. It makes me sad. And in the Joseph Smith movie at the Hill Cumorah, they do a fly over of Temple Square and then it flies west and I saw the Smoke Stack! It made me so excited and homesick! Also I found a tree and lights and decorations in the closet! Nichols hates it, it made me homesick but it looks way good! Miss you! Love you!

A Good Visual
11 December 2012
This week Elder Johnson's got a couple of great visual descptions going for his life in New York.
We all laughed at this letter, and Shelly and I called our sons to repentance based on Boone's request.
We sent his Christmas box off this week, so hopefully he'll get it from the mission office before next Tuesday.

Baptisms aren't the sign of success...
4 December 2012
This week's letter was different than those in the past, this one stuck to a single subject and didn't feature Ninja Squirrels. Boone's handwriting is even getting more legible.

To Ma & Pa
Hi! How are you? for some silly reason I forgot where this sentence was going. oh well.
This week has been insane! Elder Preisendorf, Ben now, went home on Tuesday so we went to the temple! We've been with Elder Morrison all week keeping appointments in both Penn Yan and Canandaigua. We met this funny German woman named Geisela. She's from Stadt Rehau or something like that. She's way funny.
We went to see a convert and his wife get sealed in the temple on Saturday which was way cool! President Christianson was there so we got to ask him anything we wanted because we were in the temple! He's way smart! So we decided to go to the temple again today! The temple is so cool! There's a window that looks out over the grove. It's so cool. And there are stain glass windows all around the temple that are trees so it's like you're in a grove anyway! I love the temple. usually we only get to go once a transfer but the president said we're okay. I LOVE THE TEMPLE!
It's my 2 month anniversary today!
miss you! LOVE YOU!
Elder Johnson.
PS I got called as district leader so, I'm pretty awesome! Love you!
PPS I need a wall/desk calender for next year

The Taylor Connection
The Taylor Family unofficially adopted Boone many years ago (We've shown a DRAMATIC decrease in the consumption of milk in the past couple of months!) Fortunately for us, Elder Boone Johnson has been rather consistent at sending us letters, so I will be adding our letters to this memory wall!
Rather than individually post each of the past letters, I'll use this post as a "Catch Up" with the last few letters then will post them going forward:
Since Boone fails to date his letters, I'll use the postmark date for them.

This letter also included "Important Scriptures for Life" on the back page

Apparently Mr. Humility is a "Goliath" in the spirit. :)
21 November 2012
"Scriptures of Wisdom" on the back page

John Taylor came third we know...
11/12/12
To: My Parents.
Time is actually going by really fast, relatively speaking. I've been in the field for a whole month now! My first baptism is
on Saturday! I don't know if I'm actually baptising but that doesn't matter! I'm way excited though! Elder Preisondorf goes home next week so we get to keep his companion for a week. But that's okay because Elder Morrison is way cool. He played football for the U and when he gets home he wants to play rugby for them. Elder Nicholes is going home a week before next transfer is over so I don't know what I'm going to do. I suppose they will put me with Elder Morrison and his companion. John Taylor came third we know.
I hope California rocks this year. it's going to be sad when I realise that you're there and I'm frozen in 80 feet of snow! My biceps are getting huge though ish. I want to go to the temple but it's closed for cleaning. It should be open again soon though... Well, I love you!
WRITE ME BACK!

Broken Plane
So it would seem that I skipped a letter! oops! This one was postmarked October 23rd.
Hi Mom and Dad!
So the plane in Detroit was broken, but they flew it anyway and because of this we couldn't land in Rochester so we flew to Syracuse. which is an hour and a half outside our mission. We got to the mission house at 9:00 instead of 4:00. President and Sister Christanson are SOOOO nice! but they go home in 8 months so they leave in May or June which sucks because of how amazing they are.
In the email when I said "Amish Paradise" I was wrong. They are called Mennonites. They are different from the Amish because they use electricity more than actual Amish people. I miss all my friends pre and post MTC. It's kinda lonely with just me and Elder Nicholes who sleeps with a fan on. Thank you for the box! it is everything I dreamed it would be. I need to find a smaller box because I have things to send to you! I have 2 leaves from the sacred grove and some stuff from the MTC. Every time I get homesick I smell my olive oil because I got it from dad's supply and so it smells like I could cook with it. I miss you and love you. Always remember that. I'll be home before you know it. Love you.
