#prayforelderbudge (Week 93)

By
Yo! What’s up everybody?

It’s been a good week over here in the Land of the Rising Sun. My Northern Irish companion and I have been busy with conferences, leadership meetings, splits with other missionaries in the zone, and everything in between. Nevertheless, it’s always an adventure and this week was no exception.

So the setting was last Saturday night around 8:30pm at Hachioji Station. Now for anyone who has ever served in Hachioji, as you may well know, after 8pm Hachioji can get a little “バビロン的” (in the words of the great President Warnick). So we are out there just trying to fulfill our purpose and invite others to come unto Christ by advertising our free English Class. Normally what we do is, go to a big station near by and try to hand out as many fliers as we can. So while this is going on, an nice guy with a high dollar sense of fashion walks up to me and asks what’s going on. Now Hachioji already has a little bit louder vibe at that time of night so I was pretty wary during the contact, but I told him who I was and mentioned our English class, and since this guy was obviously not from America I asked him who he was. He said was from Saudi Arabia and here in Japan studying some type of engineering and because of that he wants us to come to his house and teach him English. He also made it very clear that he has a huge house near Hachioji and two high-baller cars that might or might not consist of a Ferrari and a Nissan GTR. By this point in the conversation, this guy had peaked my interest and seemed interested in what we had to offer so we set up a time to meet this Thursday. We’ve been in contact and things are going good so far so I’ll let you how legit this guy is next week lol.

Anyway, lots of stuff going but not nearly enough time to write it all. Either way, the work rolls forward and I’m grateful to be a part of it. Hope everyone has a good week!

MTC Week 1

By
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)

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...
