Po up... Heh shot...๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ธ (Week 70)

ใ“ใ‚“ใซใกใฏ my dudes! Hope everyone had a ็ด ๆ™ดใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ 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!

Dinner with our homie Takuma



The Yamazaki family. Probably the chilliest couple I know...



Also another great miracle! My good friend Daisuke
was baptized this past week! It's been awesome to get to
know him and be able to interview him for baptism.

Happy Easter! (Week 31)

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a great Easter! This is not really a weekly email and I will get straight to the point. This past week has definitely been an eventful one. Last Friday, I was diagnosed with this thing called Bell's Palsy. Scary. Last Wednesday, the right side of my lip was feeling a little weird and by Thursday , I lost all control of the muscle in the right side of my face. On Friday , I received a priesthood blessing and went to the doctor to get it checked out. It was definitely an expensive day. Had to see a nerve specialist, get a MRI and all that fun stuff. The bad news is, I have zero control of the muscle in the right side of my face and I'm on some meds for this week. Good news is, in a couple months I should be all good. Apparently it is due to a bit of a virus I've had recently on top of the stresses of being a missionary and that caused a bit of minor nerve damage. So I'm sorry in advance for all of my pics with no smiles in them thes

MTC Week 5

 Hey everyone! I hope everyone is having a great week! This week in the MTC has been great! Last Wednesday we got our new kohai (1st 3 week missionaries). They are great, and remind me a lot of when I first came in. Time really flies! We will be dai-senpai (3rd 3 week missionaries) in 6 days . [Note from Barry:  I looked up the translation of kohai, senpai, and dai-senpai.  Here's what I gather:  Missionaires going to Japan are in the MTC for about 9 weeks.  Every 3 weeks a new group of missionaries to Japan comes in. kohai = junior student (first 3 weeks in the MTC) senpai = advanced student or upperclassman (2nd 3 weeks in the MTC) dai = great or big, so dai-senpai = the most senior students (last 3 weeks)] Last Friday marked our one month mark. Only 23 left in the mission, and time is just getting faster and faster. Saturday marked our half way point in our MTC experience. The first 2 or 3 weeks were rough, but these past few have been great. The five other eld

2months2party ⛩ (Week 94)

What’s up everybody!? It’s been week. Lots of ups, plenty of downs, but always a good time. Elder Gill and I have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off this past week and this coming week doesn’t look any less busy but we’ve been making the most. Apparently Hachioji is also know as the city of the sun. And let me tell you, the moment we step outside the apartment everyday, I am reminded why. We’ve been in 30’s (like 90ish in Fahrenheit I think) all week and wearing a button down with a tie and collar definitely doesn’t help. Either way though, we are working hard to stay healthy, stay genki, and keep our dendo fire burning warmer than the temperature outside. We’ve got plans to hit up Tama Zoo today, so I don’t have too much time to write, but I’ll make sure to take some pics. Also have a zone blitz here in Hachioji tonight so we’re excited for that. Miracles are just waiting around the corner! Well, that’s about all folks. Hope everyone has a good w
