Our Missionary

Almost 20 years ago...
A very precious Son was born.

He Grew...

He was Loved, he was cherished,
He was nurtured, he was taught and trained,
He made good choices and learned from his mistakes.

Now... He is ready, he is prepared,
His greatest desire is to serve his Hea
venly Father
by bringing the Good News of the Gospel of Je
sus Christ
by serving as a Missionary
.


Elder Stephan Granger Johnson
is called to serve in the
Nashville, Tennessee Mission.

We LOVE you, son.
Your adventure has just begun.

Oh Vicki... beautiful. Thank you for sharing your children with all of us that have the priveledge of knowing them and for raising a child of God that will be going out to share the gospel with others. I owe my wonderful life today to a missionary and I want Stephan to know that that missionary is ALWAYS in my prayers and thoughts as he has of course changed the course of my life and the lives of my family for generations to come. He is going out to do a magnificent work and in large part to the job that you did in you stewardship of him. You surely had a hand in the man that he has become and should hold your head high as you have to let go of your little boy's hand. My love and prayers will be going with him and will be with you while he's away. I love you and your family always.

Congrats to Stephan! I remember when he was our den chief when I was a Bear den leader. Where has the time gone? Weird! He has made the best decision. You have every reason to be proud!
