My testimony has been strengthened beyond measure. Every time I turn to Heavenly Father for comfort in my times of need, He encirlces me with His love and I just feel overwhelming peace. This Gospel has changed my life. I used to think that money, a nice house and a nice car would be what made life enjoyable, but that wasn't even close! I'm willing to give everything I have to the Lord because He has helped me find where true happiness is, lasting happieness, and that has changed the way I feel, the way I think, and the way I look at life. I can't remember who said it at conference but the words keep echoing in my mind. "He doesn't ask us to die a martyr's death, but to live a disciple's life." The gospel is true! I want to get on the top of a mountain and shout it, "THE GOSPEL IS TRUE!" Everyone is in my prayers and thank you so much for your prayers...I can feel them. Each time someone says "We're praying for you..." I think "I know, I can feel it." Thanks for all the mail. Keep it coming. Until next week..."Elder Jansson </div></div>Ky Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14181725190136008974noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5939491851454023577.post-51853229856667668232008-10-13T20:39:00.004-06:002008-10-15T10:59:10.128-06:00THE CALL<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">Ky knew where he was going before he even opened the envelope!<br /></div><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='480' height='399' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzQ_bzkUPd8d6ZSm0-kubiT83w_rZMSEyIITa38XQUAkqLw_fElQDcNHsr-8uZOrADm-W22bWmYa8-0Fc2M9w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>Ky Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14181725190136008974noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5939491851454023577.post-35262088461704142762008-08-19T10:04:00.005-06:002008-10-25T08:19:48.943-06:00And he's off...Here is the post from <a href="http://www.wearethewatts.com/">Chelsea's blog</a> when Ky left for Japan:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiBCpsqq1QObqVREZOjgO-STOicdXZOst-Rsyc0-r1ctXIX5dO_7rpiwfOkaN6XtCK29LOc5xDoyq0FvEbUzIGgPE466y4bpcgo0n28HtfYR9TeXkRFG4IyYWp7YJx2Xw_4SPlUMSkY2Ya/s1600-h/Fukuoka_Japan_Temple.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256670081419164706" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiBCpsqq1QObqVREZOjgO-STOicdXZOst-Rsyc0-r1ctXIX5dO_7rpiwfOkaN6XtCK29LOc5xDoyq0FvEbUzIGgPE466y4bpcgo0n28HtfYR9TeXkRFG4IyYWp7YJx2Xw_4SPlUMSkY2Ya/s400/Fukuoka_Japan_Temple.jpg" border="0" /></a>We got to talk to my bother, Ky, during his layover at LAX yesterday. He should now be settling in at his new home in Fukuoka, Japan. (The picture is the LDS Fukuoka Temple.) For my non-Mormon friends, my brother will spend the next 2 years proselytizing to the people in Japan about the Mormon gospel. He sounded so excited to be finally going, after spending 3 months preparing at the "Missionary Training Center" in Provo, Utah. This will be such an amazing experience for him, and we are very proud and excited for him.<br /><br />In even more surprising news–my mom seems to be doing okay! Ky is a<span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"> major</span> mama's boy (I now understand that relationship much better, since my baby is also a boy!) and I thought she would die sending him off for 2 years, but she is so proud of him and is holding it together really well. So, kudos to my mom for keeping it together!<br /><br />Ky gets to email home once a week, and call home on Christmas and Mother's Day, but that is it! We really enjoy his emails, and the kids have been good about drawing pictures for him almost every week. So keep him in your thoughts and prayers, I'm sure he will be in for an adjustment. Actually, the Japanese members will probably be in for an adjustment as well, I'm sure Ky will stand out in the crown–I think he is 6'4"!Ky Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14181725190136008974noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5939491851454023577.post-76039295424602922202008-06-17T20:16:00.001-06:002008-10-25T08:12:53.775-06:00THE HOUSE OF THE LORD<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEo8znDo44EhjwIjjl2Gicsi-Jdvbl3-bKt1Pi_6Iny6a1DaLHpAtoBU3K5kRY34BjZAG5Gy0q0wu4TXSUupwkIy_jeWJHvvYl-sF2X0QQlmlo1mMryHxMfugNUFj9cQoRBm1rvPkZGHic/s1600-h/CIMG5514.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260353459688823586" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEo8znDo44EhjwIjjl2Gicsi-Jdvbl3-bKt1Pi_6Iny6a1DaLHpAtoBU3K5kRY34BjZAG5Gy0q0wu4TXSUupwkIy_jeWJHvvYl-sF2X0QQlmlo1mMryHxMfugNUFj9cQoRBm1rvPkZGHic/s400/CIMG5514.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><p>"The temple has quickly become my favorite place on the planet!

It is a place shere we get to go and chat with people around the world who come to Mormon.org and have questions. Last Saturday, I was able to talk to a single mom, named Leah, and she had so many questions. I could just feel she was searching for answers and was looking to fill a void in her life that only the gospel can satisfy. I told her ab0ut a lot of things, from The Book of Mormon, all the way to what we believe about life after death, and she was really interested. She even set up an appointment to meet with the missionaries in her area! I keep praying for her and hope everything works out. I wish we were able to get updates on the people we talk too.

We wished Chelsea and the gang could have been with us. It was a very bitter-sweet day, but one I wouldn't trade for the world. Ky was so excited to finally be leaving on his mission! We all felt such a wonderful spirit in the MTC...it was amazing. I really held it together until it was time to sing "Called to Serve" and then I kind of lost it...so did the rest of the family.
