皆さんこんにちは!
Hope everyone had an amazing week this past week. Things have been quite eventful here in Kunitachi recently. To begin with, last week was pretty slow. Nobody wanted to talk to us. It was difficult to even get anyone to say hello back. Elder Duke and I were feeling a little down and just plain tired. It was rough but we kept working hard. Sunday is where things got interesting. We had a great day at church. The lessons went really well, learned a lot of new words in Japanese, and it was a good time. After church, we came back home and while we were chilling at lunch, Elder Duke got a call from President Warnick saying that he is being Emergency transferred to
Tama on Thursday. So for at least the rest of this transfer, I will be in a 3 man companionship with Elder Handly and Elder Winn. Hence the title, Three Musketeers lol. And because Elder Winn is still a bean (transfer 1-2), that technically makes me a trainer with Elder Handly. Exciting stuff! I doubt it will be the same next transfer but I am excited for the last couple weeks of this one! Anyway, after all the excitement of sudden transfer calls, Elder Duke had about an hour before we had to go back home so we decided to walk to Tachikawa station and back. As usual, it started off slow, and we ended up only being able to talk to one person, but that one person became a new investigator and will be at church on Sunday! Miracles everywhere! Today we are hiking Mt. Takao so I am excited for that. I will send pictures. Right now I am typing this in the train on the way to Takao. Fun stuff. Anyway, that's about all to report this week!
This week I have been thinking a lot about families and how grateful I am for my family. When Elder Duke and I dendo, we always choose a topic that we want to teach about for each day on the streets.
Recently we have talked a lot about families and as we have taught, I have thought a lot about my own family. I am so thankful for the amazing examples that have been set for me by my family. From my amazing Great Grandfather who was a WWII veteran, a patriarch, and still an incredible example for me today, all the way to my father who serves with nothing held back. I have thought about all the amazing role models in my life and how blessed I am to have the family that I have. And to top it all off, we have the opportunity of eternal families. Family through this life and through the next. What an amazing blessing! So to all my family out there, 愛しています! Until next week!
