皆さんこんにちは! Hope everyone had another great week! We have been crazy busy this past week and will continue to be busy this week so that's exciting. To start with, last Monday, we got to go to Yokota Airforce base and do some shopping for American stuff. It was an amazing experience. I mostly stocked up on American cereal. Good stuff. On Tuesday we had district meeting and then a little bit of dendo time. On Wednesday we had Zone Meeting in Fussa which is always fun and then
Eikaiwa that night. On Thursday and Friday we had splits. I had the privilege to go on splits with the great Elder Mori. His name literally means forest in Japanese, hence the name of this weekly email lol. We had a great time, learned a lot, and talked to lots of interesting people. On Saturday, we had a full day of dendo and then topped it off with a fantastic game of ping pong at game night at the end. On Sunday, we had a wonderful Sacrament meeting and got to hear from a returned missionary who just got home about two weeks ago. It was great to hear from him and his experiences.
On Sunday night, we had the wonderful privilege to hear from Elder Oaks of the quorum of the 12 apostles over satellite broadcast in Japan. He spoke about how sometimes our greatest blessings come as a result of our most difficult trials. Some times we wonder why God allows us to experience the trials that we have. Some times we wonder why bad things happen to good people. In order to answer these questions, we have to remember that God's understanding is far greater than ours and he knows what will be for our benefit. He is our Heavenly Father and he loves all of us. He doesn't allow us to suffer because he doesn't love us or because he is amused by it. He allows us to use our own freedom of choice and make our way through life's tough experiences because he knows we will be better for it. The best part of it all is that we never have to face those trials alone. We have a Savior who suffered and died so that we might overcome, and a loving Heavenly Father who provided a perfect plan so that we might one day become like him.
I am beyond grateful for the opportunity I have to be a missionary and share such a wonderful message to a people who live without knowing that there is way more to life than meets the eye. I love all my family and friends at home and I miss you all so much. I am beyond grateful for the love and support. Keep being awesome! I love you all so much!
