Little America (Week 24)

Another week of miracles in Japan! Not much time to write today, but that's okay because everything eventful that happened this week, happened within a span of like 2 days. So I'll get right to the point.
Monday through Thursday was spent doing a lot of streeting and a lot of housing. On Thursday, we had zone meeting. It went really well. I was able to learn a lot and receive some personal revelation for myself as a missionary. Directly after zone meeting, Elder Duke and I got the opportunity to go on splits with the zone leaders, Elder Carrasco (from Mexico) and Elder Gonzales (from Columbia). The cool part is that our zone leaders just so happen to be in the Fussa area (basically tiny America) which is where the Fussa Air Force base is, so we got to talk to a lot of Americans. All of them were also in the Air Force so it was a way cool experience. I hope I will be able to serve in that area one day down the road. Anyway, I will move on to one of the miracles we saw while I was with Elder Carrasco. So we were heading home at like 8:30 on Thursday night and we said hello to one
guy on the side of the street. He said hello back and we asked if he was out for a walk. He said he was currently working and pointed to the sign above his head. Turns out he was a bouncer standing outside the front door of a club lol. Long story short, we talked to him and he's coming to church on Sunday! Immediately after that, we were once again heading back and said hello to one last guy on the other side of the street. He said he just got off work and asked if we knew anywhere good to eat. We said there was a really good Mexican place just down the block and he invited us to go eat with him. So of course, we were like yea! Let's go! So we ate some real Mexican food (very rare in
Japan) and taught him a lesson over dinner. It was way awesome! 9pm rolls around and we realize we gotta go so we get up and put on our Jackets and by that time, he had already paid for our dinner.
Miracles left and right! Anyway, we trade contact info, set up next appointment, and invite him to church. He was way down to learn more. Awesome!

That's about it for this week. God's hand is in every aspect of our lives, we just gotta look for it! Everyone out there reading this email, keep being awesome! Look for God's hand in your life. I promise it's there. Until next week, 愛しています!

MTC Week 1

Wednesday September 21, 2016 My p-day in the MTC is every Wednesday so expect emails then. I can read emails any day but I can only reply on p-day. I will admit, the first week of The MTC was really really tough. It was incredibly frustrating trying to learn the language, and trying to adapt to my new, very scheduled lifestyle. Since Sunday, I've been able to settle in a little more though and come to terms with having to be patient with myself as I learn the language and further learn the Gospel. On our second day in the MTC, we received our first investigator, Ohira san, who we have been teaching in Japanese! The first lesson was a total bomb shell, but as we have learned to stop trying to rely on ourselves and our own teaching skill, and start relying on the Spirit to teach, we have seen much success in just these few days. My companion is Jones Chōrō. We are not very much alike at all, but we work well together and generally keep each other in balance. Chab Chōrō is our dis...

Plainer than white bread 🇯🇵⛩ (Week 86)

おはようございます! Hope everyone had a great week! Things haven’t been too interesting over here in this side of the world recently. I think that leadership has two sides to it: a ministering side and an administering side. Elder Jaeckel and I have definitely been able to see the importance of the administrative side this past week. With the beginning of a new transfer, zone conference coming up this week, and the various other leadership meetings we attend, needless to say, things have been pretty busy. Despite all those things though, we have been blessed to be able to get out and see the beauty of the Lord’s vineyard. To start with, we’ve been able to talk to tons of people this week. The Lord is preparing people all the time and it’s always amazing to be led to those people and blessed to see the miracle. One way cool experience that happened this week was with our new homie, Fei. He is from China, fluent in Mandarin, Japanese, and English, and a hustler on the court. So our story begins...
