#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!

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...
