BITTERsweet!

What a perfect day!  Elder Johnson was all smiles and he had such a peaceful demeanor about him...he was ready!!!  As for mom, not quite so ready, I was actually getting a little mad at Elder Johnson for smiling and looking so happy while his mom was crying.  Truthfully though, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Elder Johnson and his companion (his dad) started the morning off with a run in the smog, of course his companion and Kelto were on a bike so they could attempt to keep up with him. One thing Elder Johnson is ready to leave behind is the smog.  Then after a nice breakfast at Denny's with his free missionary meal plus a nice couple anonymously gave us their free birthday meal, double bonus, we were off to the temple for pictures and then for our final goodbye.

His last good-bye :(
