Elder Alec Johnson: IT'S AN ELDER!

WELPPPP! I'm a Dad (aka-trainer)! haha! I am so excited.. I dont even know what to say! So I found out on Wednesday during a lesson with V** we were having, Pres. Fortuna called and let me know that I'm training, I was speechless! But I am sooo excited. SO EXCITED. I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS AND JUST.. WHOO! Heavenly Father has put a lot of trust in me. I cant wait! But also Elder Hale is a trainer! And Elder Andrews! We're all the gringos that were new! So exciting! Love those guys! And we will all be in the same area for another 3 months..! pretty crazy 6 months the same! But I am so grateful for E. Borge and all he did to help me. It was the hardest 12 weeks but I've never been so happy. Times were tough, but thats why life is so great. Because trials define us. He seriously is a 4th missionary and more. Gonna miss that man.

But I just wanted to talk about the power of prayer for a second. I CANNOT BELIEVE I went days without praying in the morning when I wasnt a missionary. I really can't believe it. Idk how I went through the day without a morning prayer. Without guiadance, love, and protection from our Heavenly Father.. I dont understand it.. Ha! I want all of you to remember this this week. When you wake up youre gonna think of my email. And then youre gonna think of what I said in the email. And then youre gonna remember I talked about prayer. AND THEN YOURE GONNA SAY YOUR PRAYERS IN THE MORNING! ok? I promise it'll work! ha! It's just so important to start your day off with a prayer! and THERE IS ALWAYS TIME FOR A PRAYER. ALWAYS. Well I think I'm gonna write a paper and just send that as my weekly email cuz thats a whole lot easier. I love you guys!

How are my boys?? Herriman basketball? and how did football do? cant believe Will is home!

This week im grateful for Elder Borge, to be a dad (he means trainer), Spanish, my area, SERVICE, the opportunities the Lord gives us each and every day, 3 packages!!!, ties, tootsie rolls, chick fil a sauce, MY LIFE!!!
