December 4th

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!

PS What is the Webber's address?

A Good Visual

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...

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.

I got called as...

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!
