Time's fun when you're havin flies πŸΈπŸ„πŸ» (Week 41)

By
Hello Everyone! I can't even believe that it's already Monday again. The weeks just get faster and faster all the time, but despite how fast the time flies, Elder Palomino and I have been out working hard and having a blast all at the same time. We have managed to talk to some pretty interesting (to say the least) people this week. We were able to hand out a couple Books of Mormon, preach some repentance, knock doors in the rain, and all that fun stuff. On top of all those things, the absolutely amazing members of the Yokosuka Military Ward have had us over every day that we were available this past week and our calendar is already full for the rest of the month. Needless to say, I have put on some weight since moving to the American Ward, but I'm not complaining too much haha. I am sad to report however, that Elder Palomino and I have not been very diligent in taking pictures (sorry Mom), but we will do a better job this week.

Recently, there has been a big push for using the Book of Mormon more often in our missionary activities. At Zone Conference and District Meeting this past week, we received various trainings on using the BoM more effectively. I feel like I have always used the BoM pretty effectively throughout my mission, but what I came to realize is that, it still wasn't enough! I have come to realize recently, how much of a wonderful tool the BoM actually is. Everything we know and teach as missionaries, comes from the Book of Mormon. I have found that through using the BoM, we are able to resolve any confusions or conflicts that our investigators might have. It can literally answer any question
(besides your math homework). Elder Palomino and I have set a goal to use the BoM more frequently and more effectively in our lives and in our proselyting. It is truest such an amazing book. I you haven't read it, read it! I promise you will learn so much and you will be able to find answers to whatever you might be facing in life.

It was good to hear from the few people that emailed me this past week. You guys are the best. I miss you and I love you. Thank you for your love and support. I couldn't have made it here without you. Don't wait for the world to change, take full responsibility of your actions and go change the world! 愛しています!

MTC Week 1

By
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...
