Po up... Heh shot...💯💸 (Week 70)

こんにちは my dudes! Hope everyone had a 素晴らしい week! It's been pretty good over here in the land of the rising sun. Elder Low and I have been able to get out in the freezing cold a lot this past week continue fighting the good fight. As much as I love our sub-zero adventures though, I am definitely looking forward to the warmer days ahead! Despite all of that though, we have been able to meet some awesome people and see some amazing miracles this past week.

Last Monday, we met with our homie Takuma. Grabbed some dinner together and did some good "get to know you". As Elder Low was showing him some pictures of his family, he came across one picture that had a temple in the background. Takuma noticed the giant white castle and naturally asked about it, which led to a long conversation about temples and God's Plan of happiness for us. The blessing of the temple are everywhere, whether they are providing us with eternal families or
simply leading into a discussion about God's plan. Next miracles came on Wednesday night. Elder Low and I were out knocking on some doors in an area that is a little further out in our area. We had knocked several doors but weren't seeing a whole lot of success. Finally it came down to the last two minutes before we had to leave and I said let's knock two more doors. So we knock the first one, nothing. We move on to the final door of the night, ring the door bell, and out comes this nice middle aged lady who we were able to talk to about the Plan of Salvation. She shared with us some of her background and concerns and expressed an interest to learn more. We will be visiting her again this Wednesday. Other than that, we have been hitting the streets, trying not to freeze, and saving everyone we can along the way. Life doesn't get much better!

Looking forward to this coming week as well. On the menu we have Zone Conference this Wednesday and hopefully a couple lessons with investigators! Also much love coming from Japan! To all my family and friends out there, keep being awesome. Trust in the Lord and He'll make it happen captain. Hope everyone has a great week and survives the freezing temperatures. Roll tide!

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

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!!!)

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)

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...
