Shake 'n Bake!🏆🇯🇵⛩ (Week 43)

By
Minasan, konnichiwa! Hope everyone had a fantastic week! Also sorry for the super short email last week. We had like zero time so I did my best haha. Anyway, this past week has been great here in Yokosuka. We have been super busy working with members and doing various other missionary things. Because we are serving in a military area, we are very limited as to what we can do as far as finding investigators to teach, so our main priority is work with and strengthen the members. And let me just say, I love the members here. They are all so great and feed us all the time. We have dinner appointments like every day. It's a good problem to have I guess! But yea, things are going great here in Yokosuka.

One fun experience I had this past week was last Saturday during a Zone blitz here in Yokosuka. For the first half of the blitz I was able to go and dendo with Elder Johnson. He is the elder I replaced
when I transferred to Kunitachi. He is a great missionary and we talked to some way cool people. For the second half of the blitz, I was with our zone leader, Elder Sequiera, from São Paulo Brazil. Elder
Sequiera and I were doing some steeting at a near by park and we said hello to three homies who were leaving as we were walking in. They were kind of doing that thing where they are half turned around and talking to you but at the same time walking away (all you missionaries serving in Japan will understand), and right as they were turning away, like 150 college aged girls walked up and started talking to us. They were pretty interested in us until they found out we were just missionaries haha. After we introduced ourselves, they all left except for one girl who was already Christian. She was fluent in English and we talked to her for a minute about the Book of Mormon and how it can give us guidance and answer the questions we might have about life. She was way interested and accepted a Book of Mormon. Hopefully the Sisters can get into contact with her. We didn't have a whole lot of time to talk to her because all her friends bailed and I felt kinda bad for her, but it was a good experience. It is so awesome to see the miracles that God places in our lives every day.

I hope this week's email was a little better. I'm not very good at writing and honestly I don't like it very much. I love communicating with all my fans, but if there was any way other than writing, I would take the other way. It's a weekly struggle lol. Anyway, I love all my family and friends out there and I appreciate the love and support every week. Thanks for all the wonderful emails this past week. Keep being awesome! 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...

The Beginning of the End ⛩ (Week 97)

By
Have you ever just walked outside and been like, wow, you know, it’s really really hot out here and it probably can’t get any hotter than this? And then you walk out the next day and realize it got even hotter... We’ll, if I had to sum up our week this past week, that’s how I’d describe it. Hachioji truly is 太陽の町. It’s been rough, but we’re hanging in there and having some fun along the way. In other news, this past week was transfers, and there has been some major changes. First off, I’m still here in Hachioji (blessings from Heaven), but Elder Gill transferred to my old area Yokosuka, and my new companion is the one and only Elder Matsunaga from Yamaguchi-Ken. On top of that, our zone has doubled in size and now we cover the entire Machida Stake rather than just the western half. Yea, I just thought last transfer was busy. We’ve been running around like chickens with our heads cut off working with Stake leaders, organizing all our districts, planning zone conference, and coordinatin...

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...
