The South Will Rise Again🔥💯 (Week 79)

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!

Thinking Out Loud 🎸 ⛩ (Week 54)

Hello! How was everyone's week? This past week was a blast here in Yokosuka. With everything from bowling to basically swimming through the rain. The missionary life is great and I wouldn't have it any other way! For all those who aren't missionaries out there, I would recommend! It's been the best year of my life so far and things are looking greater and greater all the time. This past week, we did a lot, but I'll share a couple of our adventures. Last Monday, we decided to go bowling on base again. I didn't play nearly as well as the previous week, but it was fun haha. In the evening, we had a lesson planned with our investigator Manuel. Long story short, the lesson fell through, so we hit the streets. Talked to some way cool people and made some good contacts. Tuesday was lots of Streeting and Japanese Class. Fun stuff. On Wednesday , we did a lot of Streeting during the day and had dinner with the Cribb family. They took us out to Chili's in base and ...
