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!

MTC Week 1

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)

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)

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...
