Letter from Jonny
This letter was so good and I just thought that you might like to see how much Jonny has grown while on his mission. Still no punctuation or capitals, but I love how you can feel his spirit through his letters.
hey whats going on? well i hope everything is going good im sure it is from what i have heard from everyone everything is tranquilo haha. but things are going pretty good here we are hopeing for a baptism this week im pretty sure it will happen so we will just have to see what happens. im sure it will be great and the lord will do is part as we do ours. but yesterday i learned some things that are really interesting that i would like to share with yall. so elder ellis of the 70ty talked at the stake confrence here it was really good he said somthing like this. that heavenly father has a plan for everything including. family home evening, daily prayer, reading the scriptures regularly, 10% of what we make for tithing and more things but satan has his plan and the world has its plan and we have our plan he said the lords plan are all of those things listed above but what happins alot is that we think oh i dont have time to study, no one is home at the same time, im to lazy, i dont need to i already know everything. and more. but we need to always be on the lords side, so that means we always need to follow his plan and not the others he said if we do that we will be alot more blessed that we need to follow it with exactness we need to be like the stripling worriers and be obedient to the comands of our sargent which is the lord that talks to us through the prophets that we have today. im so greatful for that talk and how it helped me i know we hear the same things over and over but if we would just practise them we wouldnt have to hear them over and over. i hope you all know that i know that the lord talks to his prophets and his prophets tell us what the lord wants us to do and what we need to do to be prepaired to return to the presence of the lord there is a scripture that says we need to have a better knowledge of things so that we can be prepaired to come to the presence of the lord i know you all are doing the things you are supposed to and i know you all do all these things already but i just wanted to share with you what i learned. one other thing that our mission president told the stake was that if they help the missionarys not only they will be blessed but their familys. i know their is not very many missionarys in our area but try to help them and look for people that you guys can find for them to teach ok. sorry this wasnt that much about me i just thought it would be important to share with you all just so you all know im doing great im kinda sad that my time here in this area is getting alittle short i think any way ahah but what can ya do right the lord will put me in the right spot im sure. anyway i better get going thanks for all you guys do for me and all your love and support i love ya and miss ya tons hope you have a great week talk to ya then.

I love the testimonies of missionaries. It makes me want to be more like that. What a good boy you got there.
