He loves you!

Hey everyone!

This P-day was epic! We went and climbed a mountain and got some way good pictures of the waterfall at St. Jaques (which is a popular waterfall in Taolagnaro). Getting to the top and looking down on the Malagasy Indian Ocean was breathtaking. I loved seeing all the trees and hearing the birds singing and some lemurs here and there. Afterwards, my zone (8 Elders total) went to the beach and played 2 hand-touch football. Way hard, but way fun! Good news is I didn't get super duper sunburned on my neck with blisters this time, but I won't stop applying that sunscreen.

For those of those who really didn't get to know what my interests were before my mission, I love stars, planets, and just about anything that sits in the night-sky. Ever since I was a kid (and I remember telling my mom who was tucking me in one night when I was still 5 years old that I wanted to be an astronaut), I have had a curious interest for the cosmos. If there was anything (during my teenage years) in music that I would hear that had anything related to space, I would listen to it. Space is really interesting.  Granted, It has to seem for the average human mind like looking into millions of light years of blackness and speckles of sunshine fosters little to no hope for looking for partner life in the universe. Alas, in the midst of multitudes of Floral Nebulas, Brilliant Galaxies, and Ruthless Black Holes, the power of the Almighty God has created other planets with life on it as it says in Doctrine and Covenants Section 76. What an astounding knowledge to have! Just staring into the night sky helps me to remember this one line: He loves you. I'm sure you all already know who that ''He'' is. Don't you ever forget that God loves you!

Also don't forget that I love you all and I hope this next week goes well!

Love,

Elder Johnson
