Another great week in the Land of the Rising Sun! I was able to go on splits twice this past week and both times were with elders who are about to finish their last transfer. It was awesome to be with such
experienced elders and to learn a lot from them.
Tuesday, I was with Uemura長老 and
Saturday I was with the Fujisawa zone leader Leach長老. Leach長老 is from Dallas, TX so it was way fun being with him for a day. First person I've seen in a while that is from the South. It felt a little bit like home. Last Thursday, we were able to go on splits again with the two young men who are preparing to serve missions this spring. It was way difficult to find people, it was a bad part of the day (like
2-5pm), and on top of that, it was way cold with high winds and sleet... That's always fun! But yea, the weather here is a lot like Alabama; very bipolar. Last Monday, we had a zone p-day in Atsugi where all the missionaries in the zone got together to play soccer. It way way fun, and also hot! Crazy weather out here I tell you. Anyway, that was the highlights of this past week.
The time keeps flying! The days are long, but the weeks go by so fast. I am beyond blessed to have the opportunity to be in Japan (trying to make the most of every moment) and teach about Jesus Christ. Very very few people here believe in God, and almost no one believes in Jesus Christ. It is sad to see and very difficult to help people build that faith, but it makes the experiences that much greater when we are able to bring the light of Christ and happiness into their lives. Tons of people get into the rotation of work, sleep, work, sleep, and so on and so on. Walking blindly without any real purpose in life. When we are able to show them and they are able to see the perfect plan that God has provided for us and that we have a Savior who makes everything possible, a new light comes into their lives and it is one of the most amazing things anyone could ever witness. I am beyond grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, and all he has done for me. I could never fully repay him, so I did the next best thing and became a missionary! It has been an experience like no other. I am grateful for this opportunity and for my family and all the love and support they provide for me. And a big shoutout to all my homies out there who made me who I am today! I love you all! Until next week! 愛しています!!!
