The South Will Rise Again🔥💯 (Week 79)

By
Howdy howdy! Hope y’all had a mighty fine week! The past week on this side of the planet has been one of tough goodbyes but lots of excitement for the future. Last Thursday we had transfers! Unfortunately I had to say goodbye to the mountainous paradise that is Kohoku and good bye to the amazing people that live there. It wasn’t easy, but there will be quite the plethora of good times to come! After six consecutive transfers, I have officially kissed my Yokohama thunder-thighs goodbye and am now serving in the area of Yamato as zone leader in the Fujisawa east zone. Super excited for the new area and the opportunity to work with such amazing people!

Honestly, I can’t remember too much of what happened this past week. Transfer week is always a bit of a blur, but since Thursday, we have had quite the adventure. So, on Thursday, I made the transfer to Yamato and teamed up with my new companion - none other than the legendary Elder Harrison from Texas (hence the subject line of this weekly email, lol). He’s the greatest and we’re gonna have quite the ho-down together. When I arrived, we went straight to Planning. Planning for investigators and planning for the zone (we have zone Conference coming up this Wednesday so there’s plenty of planning to be done, haha). That took most of the day. On Friday, we had the opportunity of going up to Kichijoji for New District Leader/Sister Training Leader/Zone Leader training. Received lots of great revelation and it’s always a pleasure to be with President Warnick. On Saturday, we had a couple other meetings, and on Sunday, we had church. The members here are way awesome and I’m excited to work with all of them! In between all of those moments, we have been meeting with tons of people and trying to talk to as many new ones as we can. We’ve seen lots of miracles and I’m way excited for the future!
 
Not too much to report on this week, and amongst all the craziness, we didn’t have too much time to take pictures, but I’ll try to do better next week! All that matters is, the Church is true, missionary life is the best life ever, and I feel blessed to be a part of it. Hope everyone has a great week and sends me lots of emails about it! 愛しています!

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...

Thanks for the Ride⛩🏆 (Week 102 - Last P-day!!!)

By
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)

By
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...
