Great Grandpa Gustaf Johnson and his brother, Olof Peter, left Sweden in 1884 after joining the church and serving short-term missions in the Göteborg area. The family farm is a favorite of ours to visit, especially since a distant cousin, Gunnar Gustafsson still lives there. He welcomes us warmly each time. This visit was in August 2008. The church in Vallby Västra is where Johannes Swensson (Gustaf's father) and many family members are buried. It is a special, sacred place for the Johnson family to visit. The group photo is of distant cousins, Tage and Gunnar, with Steven and others.
