Feb 3, 2009 to Family

hello family, i'm really sorry i dont have time to write back to you all individually and im sorry i didnt write happy b-day to one matthew hiller it was on my list of things to do but alas i still let it slip.
yes elder griffin is my new companion and we're both working well together. he's a really good elder. has his head on strait and is a pretty normal guy. we both did a count of normal people in this mission and there was kind of a shortage according to our count haha. thats sounds really good about what dad told me about the family or two that your helping out to come back to church. that so awesome! keep up the good work.

and i agree about the story about korihor being funny. and its not even like he got trampled by animals...it was like zoramites or something. i think of them as just a big old group of people running around aimlessly following a leader all saying "Meep!!" in unison, ooops there goes korihor. haha, you're right it is funny.but anyways. things are going very well here. we had 11 people at church last sunday. with those 11 people and there kids i think there were more non members than members haha.but the missionary work is going very well here. the people are just so accepting.

we have a theory here about the whole group seems like hagoth in the book or mormon. apparently some general authority told the people in new zealand they were decendents of hagoth. so we have a feeling that the people here are as well. because its so interesting how similar the native american traditions are with the native people of borneo and all of these countries for that matter. i think thats why they have the same sweet spirit and willingness to except the the gospel as south americans do. at least that's an idea we have...dad you should know over in klang i told that horse story to a recent convert when he was thinking about stop coming to church. im not sure if it all sunk in but he came to church again so id like to think it did haha.

o ya thats some crazy outfit youve got goin on there dad. you really went all out! so have you done alot of playing with the honour guard lately then? im really sorry everyone for not writing back to you all but i will try really hard next week. elder griffin and i are going to buy some cool borneo stuff today hopefully maybe i can send something home. and yes i think it was A3 mom. if you wanted to you can say something eventually to them. elder schneider and i were planning on just having you and his mom getting in contact a little while before we come home just to set things up. BUT! thats a long ways off so don't need to worry ma.

Ok i love you all so much and i will write more next week. hope you all have a good week!elder johnsono ya the package has not yet arrived, and has my letter arrived that i sent?
