My name is Geoffrey. I have been called to serve as a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Norway Oslo Mission. I will serve from February 2009-February 2011, exactly 100 years after my Great Grandfather Hans Christian Johnson served as a missionary in Norway.

My favorite sports are tennis and skiing.

I like to hike and camp with my family and friends.

In 1997, I participated in the 150th anniversary Mormon Trail Wagon Train which reenacted the journey of the Mormon pioneers from Nauvoo, Illinois, to Salt Lake City, Utah. I traveled from Martin's Cove, to Jeffrey City, Wyoming, in a covered wagon.

In August 2001, I participated in SeaTrek2001 which was a reenactment of the emigration of the thousands of European converts to the Church of Jesus Chirst of Latter-day Saints who crossed the Atlantic to join the saints in Utah. Forty-nine of my ancestors from Norway, Denmark, Scotland, and England made this crossing. I traveled by tall ship from Hamburg, Germany, to Hull, England.

In 2003, I earned the Eagle Scout award.
