Thanks for the e-mail and update. Short letter today. Elder Lawson said that he won't have an update this week, but you can expect one next week--he said he'll keep you updated on the things we do. Elder Lawson is my Activities and Service Coordinator in our district.
I don't know if you are updating a blog for me or not, but please make it very clear that it is you, my mom, who has created and is updating the blog--and not me. Please let that be known, because from some of the letters I've received, it seems as if people think I update the blog. That is not good.
Attached is my Weekly to the President (Updates on the Work contained therein), as well as a responsibilities sheet that I made for my district. The Elders really liked it. They are glad to have responsibilities and take an active role in the district. All this helps us be of one heart and one mind.
Love,
Elder Johnson
