JOHNSON IN WISCONSIN

Yesterday was quite a crazy day. I got the pedigree chart from Deborah this week and it turns out that ive found some distant relatives here. Whitny and Martha Johnson are 80 years old and their son Stewart (the Bishop) and His wife are related to us. My great great great grandpa, John Johnson or Jorgenson is where we lined up. He was born in Denmark and that is where he joined the churh. He migrated to the U.S. in 1853 and settled in Brigham City in 1854. He had a few wives and im the descendant of one of his wives and the Johnson's here are from one of his other wives. That makes the bishop my 4th cousin removed or something like that. Whats really crazy is that Whitney, the old gesser just so happened to give a talk yesterday in sacrament meeting about the pioneers and he had a bunch of his kids and their kids (my 4th and 5th cousins) there to hear him speak. He opened his talk by announcing the news that i was related to all of them way down the lines so i got to meet a bunch of distant family. It was really cool. Were gonna go over there and Whitney has a bunch of history about John Johnson in Denmark. Thats way cool that i was sent here to Marquette. I dont know what you all back there no about our forefathers but maybee im gonna find so cool new stuff for Grandma huh. Ill get some pictures with them and send them sometime. The older couple are so rad. He was so happy to have me serving. I call him Grandpa now. I joked with them that they better start remembering my birthday. Church was also awesome cuz we had 3 investigators at church. We also set a baptism date last week with Madera Raymond. She is the daughter of a recent convert from last year. She was gonna get baptized with her mom last summer but she was on probation at the time and she no longer is. The date is set for August 12. Kyle might get baptized the same day too!!! We might do it in Lake Superior. Whitney and Martha live on the lake and have a beach for their backyard so they have people get baptized out there a lot. Its so cool to be here.
