Welcome everyone to Elder Sadler's Transfer 11 here in the Land of the Rising Sun! It’s been quite the adventure and I am excited for the times ahead. It’s strange to think how fast time flies. We got a year and a half down and only an unspecified amount of months left that we won’t talk about to go. As much as I miss everyone at home, the mission is the greatest experience of my life. I love the people, I love the gospel, and I love the Lord. Couldn’t ask for a whole lot more.
Not too much happened this past week. Just a lot of going out into the cold and talking to as many people as we can. We did have one way cool experience though this past Monday. So we had plans to meet with our homie Reb that night. The original idea was to meet up with him either at his apartment or at the church, but due to tight schedules on both ends, we ended Meeting on the second floor of the McDonalds near Haku-Raku Station. We bought some dinner and then sat down to have a good conversation about Jesus over Big Macs and some fries. The lesson ended up going really well. Never underestimate the power of the spirit. As we were sitting there talking, surrounded by other random Japanese people and the sound of Toto's “Africa” playing in the background, we were able to testify powerfully and invite Reb to be baptized. Reb doesn’t have a baptismal date yet, but he is well on his way to the Waters of Mormon. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Whether it be giving the blind their sight, guiding missionaries through Japan, or blessing the rains down in Africa. Definitely a moment I won’t forget. Other than that, we are going to the Alex Boyรฉ/Bless 4 concert in Kichijoji tonight so I’m pretty excited! I’ll let you all know how it goes next week!
But yea, it’s been good times. Elder Low is pretty much the best I know of and I’m looking forward to doing some wolverine hunting with him after the mission. Ask me how I’m doing, I say, “blessed”. Blessed to be here in Japan and blessed to be a child of God. ๆใใฆใใพใ!
