After John died, I found a number of journals and notebooks that I didn't know existed. As I began reading them, I was amazed at how profoundly insightful they are, especially for one so young. John thought a great deal about deep and eternal things. His maturity was far beyond his young years and I've found myself wanting to share these wonderful thoughts with others. I hope you enjoy them, and feel yourself wanting to be a little better because of them. He may not be with us, but his influence and example will always be... until we are once again reunited with him. Thank you John, for leaving me a little piece of you. You are, and always will be, amazing in my eyes.

[Book 1] 1 MAY 1983 - SUNDAY

TODAY IS JOHN HAROLD'S LAST SUNDAY ON HIS ISLAND OF BIRTH. IT WAS DISTRICT CONFERENCE OF THE AZORES DISTRICT, THE FIRST DISTRICT OF THE CHURCH IN THESE BEAUTIFUL AZORE ISLANDS. MANY PEOPLE SPOKE BEARING SPIRITUAL TESTIMONIES. ONE IN PARTICULAR SPOKE OF LITTLE JOHN HAROLD.

PRES. SILVA, ELDER'S QUORUM PRESIDENT OF THE PRAIA BRANCH (OF WHICH JOHN'S DAD -- THE PERSON WRITING THIS -- WAS FIRST COUNSELOR IN THE BRANCH PRESIDENCY) SAID HOW MUCH HE LOVED AND APPRECIATED JOHN'S DAD AND FAMILY. HE ALSO HOPED JOHN COULD RETURN TO HIS BIRTHPLACE AS A MISSIONARY. MAY THE LORD BE WILLING.
