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!

Thinking Out Loud 🎸 ⛩ (Week 54)

By
Hello! How was everyone's week? This past week was a blast here in Yokosuka. With everything from bowling to basically swimming through the rain. The missionary life is great and I wouldn't have it any other way! For all those who aren't missionaries out there, I would recommend! It's been the best year of my life so far and things are looking greater and greater all the time. This past week, we did a lot, but I'll share a couple of our adventures. Last Monday, we decided to go bowling on base again. I didn't play nearly as well as the previous week, but it was fun haha. In the evening, we had a lesson planned with our investigator Manuel. Long story short, the lesson fell through, so we hit the streets. Talked to some way cool people and made some good contacts. Tuesday was lots of Streeting and Japanese Class. Fun stuff. On Wednesday , we did a lot of Streeting during the day and had dinner with the Cribb family. They took us out to Chili's in base and ...
