Elder Blake Johnson

We went to California to support and visit with our cousin Blake Johnson before he left on his mission to Guatemala.  What a great kid!  His Bishop ready a scripture about being steady and said Blake had always been steady in the gospel.  It is true!  What a great kid!  It was fun to see my brother and my sisters and all the cousins that came!  What a great supportive family we have!  We also got to talk to our cousin Taylor who is on a mission in Mexico.  His Mission president gave him permission to call because he won't see blake for 2 1/2 years!  He sounded great!  Gave his brother Blake ALOT of advise and even made him recite it back! hahaha  And then he talked to my Derek and gave him a bad time about when he was going to send his papers in.  hahaha  Derek told him that he would be home from his mission before he turned 19.  But he would get to work on it!  I love missionaries!

Some parts were pretty steep

even some caves

some brotherly love!

These two have been best friends since they were babies!  I kept telling them how great it would be if Derek got his mission call to Guatemala!  They brushed it off telling me it would never happen! 

What a GREAT family

giving some love to the newest elder!
