Eternal Families

Brother Johnson,
I just talked to Elder Johnson, and he received the news well, considering how difficult it could be. He said he was surprised, since his grandfather didn't seem ill when he left. I asked how he felt, and he said he felt okay. I told him you would soon call him. He was on the train on the way to zone conference when I called, so I hope your call will go through. If it doesn't just try again. It was 7:35 when I called him, and we have zone conference at 10 am this morning in L'viv. So I'll see him there and will follow up to make sure he's doing alright still.
Our condolences go to you on this tragic event. I lost my grandmother last summer, while were here, and Sister Steinagel lost her father last spring. it was hard to miss the funerals, but we have felt their presence since then. How grateful we are for our Heavenly Father's plan and the hope that we will all be with Him again.
May the Lord bless and comfort you.

Hey mom!
so that was interesting and unexpected yesterday! pretty cool though. I hope dad had a good fathers day. I did get a present for him in Leviv, it cost me a meal but its pretty sweat! yeah I dont have to think about USA for the next year and a half! its really hard to keep focused here, not just for me. its right in the middle of summer and satan has quite the hold on these people so the last thing I need is another distraction. I'm glad you found a job! sounds like it sucks but... yeah. if it makes you feel anybetter none of the public transportations use air conditioning, its crazy humid and to tract one building wich we do about 4 at a times a day we have to 10 stories up and work our way down. NO elevator :S but Im getting my excersize. you should read the email I sent to dad, has a story in there and I have a new winter coat! so yeah check it out! I hope Chris gets better, yeah I have a mean cough right now to, been really sick lately but I'll kick it sooner or later! kind of funny there are 3 or 4 zones in our mission we had zone conference in Leviv with 2 of the zones, Im the biggest Elder of them all! and i've lost weight. what with all that tracting! Elder Johnson thinks its funny because the people who used to mess with him dont anymore when they see us coming! he is a way cool comp. I feel way blessed! considering my last. yes mom ofcourse i HAVE to buy my stuff here! everything is way cheap and I dont have time to go a look at prices on things! our pdays are way short! and I told dad if you two are thinking of coming it would be awesome! things are WAYY cheap but they are the best! just need to know where to find it. You dont have to transfer the money into Ukrainian they do that here. I heard we are all getting called to the temple when it opens and that the first presidency and 7 of the 12 are going to be there! this is HUGE! OOOOHHH so we went and did Chalk drawing in the park for a contacting tool! decided to draw the plan of salvation, didn't bring the right thing to send picture this week but I will! it looked WAYYY cool and it was huge! we gave out like 40 plan of salvation pamphlets 55 temple pass along cards and got 2 new investigators out of it! lol he asked if I can draw and after I said yes we went and threw down! it looked way cool! everyone stops to read and look at it. we are thinking of doing the Kiev temple this week! yeah well I hope I answered all your questions I guess the package stuff is not that big of a deal here, everyone seems to get there packages just fine so whenever you want to send something go ahead. road on a Harry Potter Train yesterday on the way back! took us all night but there were beds and everything! was way sweat! well mom love you,hope all is wellin Pagosa, I keep the family in my prayers always. love you
Elder Johnson
