The Portato🥔🚲⛩ (Week 34)

By
Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a great week this week. Elder Ramos and I have had a week like no other here in Kunitachi. We have been together for a solid 3 days now and have seen crazy miracles everywhere. Thursday was our first day together and we found 2 new investigators. On Friday, we didn't find any new investigators, but we did find several potential investigators. On Saturday, we found three more new investigators. On Sunday, we found another new investigator,
for a grand total of 6 new investigators and several more PI's in 3 days. We were also able to meet with one of our other investigators who has been crazy busy recently and had a great lesson. Hopefully we can continue to meet a little more often and help him find the light that comes through the gospel of Jesus Christ. As far as I see it, that is nothing short of a miracle. Elder Ramos and I have been working hard and working well together. He is possibly one the strangest and most scatter-brained people I have ever met, but he is a fantastic missionary and a hard worker. Let's just say, it's going to be an interesting transfer. I'm excited!

Today Elder Handly, Elder Mori, Elder Ramos, and I are all getting our bikes tuned up so we are all on rental bikes. In Japan, there are several different types of bikes that people usually buy. For example, a regular street bike like I have, or more of an off road bike, or these other pretty common bikes called mama-chari's. For our rental bikes today, we all got mama-chari's. They are pretty much the greatest thing ever. Not real fast or flashy, but perfect for cruising down the street with your squad. One of the best parts of our new cruisers, is that they all came with names written on the side. Elder Handly got the "Bobby Town", Elder Mori got the "Fro-Mage", Elder Ramos got the "Transmatic", and I got the "Portato". Probably the second greatest thing of my life lol.

Other than that, not much to report so far. Elder Ramos and I are working hard and seeing miracles from God every day. Thanks to everyone at home for the wonderful emails and all the love. To all my
missionaries out there, keep working hard, don't give up, and you will see miracles. 皆さん愛しています!

Typhoons, Lady’s Baseball, and Zone Conference⛩🇯🇵 (Week 98)

By
Well, it’s been quite the week over here in the Land of the Rising Sun. Once again, we’ve been stretched pretty thin with not a whole lot of time to come up for air, but it’s been a blast and we’ve been blessed to see all kinds of miracles. To start with, the beginning of last week was all meetings and planning for Zone Conference this past Thursday . Elder Matsunaga and I and the STL’s gave a zone training on becoming experts in PMG which went really well and lined up perfectly with President Warnick’s trainings, and then Elder McDonald and I did a musical number with President Warnick in guitar which went as well as it could with zero practice lol. Either way though, we sang “I’ll go where you want me to go” and the Spirit was strong, so that’s all that matters. Next pretty big event this past week was our typhoon this past Saturday . We talked to some pretty concerned Japanese people and got lots of calls from leadership, but everything was completely fine. I tried explain...

Thanks for the Ride⛩🏆 (Week 102 - Last P-day!!!)

By
Today is a day of mixed emotions. As we come to the end of this two year adventure they call a mission, my heart is filled with nothing but gratitude and joy. The past two years have been an experience like no other, but I’m just grateful that the Lord saw fit to let me be a part of it and see his hand bless the lives of folks through me. There is a quote I saw once that I think sums things up pretty well. “Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. Most putts don’t drop. Most beef is tough. Most children grow up to be just people. Most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration. Most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old-time rail journey: delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.” It has been truly h...

One For the Books🇯🇵🏆⛩ (Week 101)

By
This past weeks has definitely been one for the books. A lot has happened and we don’t have a whole lot of time to write today so I’ll cover the highlights. 1. Last Monday, we had Zone p-day and zone blitz over in Machida. Got to ball up a little bit on the court and top it off with some family history dendo that night. We asked everyone to prepare and bring their own pedigree chart and then a couple blank ones to hand out. It was a lot of fun and a huge blessing to be able to use my own family stories to invite the people of Japan to come unto Christ. 2. Tuesday, we had a combined Kofu and Hachioji District Meeting. Had lots of good trainings and learned a lot. Also had the opportunity to write a gospel haiku. Anyone who knows me, knows that language arts isn’t my specialty, but I think it turned out pretty good. 善に向けて、悔い改めを、清めなり 3. On Wednesday we taught a lesson to our friend Sanosaka San. Talked a lot about the gospel of Jesus Christ and how faith leads to repentance and repentanc...
