Well, here we are, another week down and no one is really sure how we got here. I’m not sure where the time goes, but you know what they say, time flies when you’re having fun. This past week was slammed full of various meetings, splits, planning sessions, baptismal interviews, and various other events. Our schedule seems to fill up quickly these days, but it’s been a blast.
Amongst all of our busyness though, we have been blessed to see some amazing miracles. One that happened was this past Monday night during a zone blitz here in Hachioji. We broke the time up into two rounds so everyone would be working with two different people and doing two different types of dendo. During the first round, I worked with the Brazilian legend, Elder Melo. We handed out a ton of fliers for our English class and talked to some awesome people. For the second round, I had the opportunity to work with my good friend, a Elder Thorin. We hit the streets hard and talked to everyone. After a little while, we ran into this one kid who seemed way cool and said that he is a college student here in Hachioji. We talk for a little bit and come to find out that he is pretty into basketball and he had played with missionaries before in Shin-Yokohama. Once he said that, he started to look all to familiar so I pulled out my iPad and started scrolling through pictures. Turns out, Elder Thorin and I had met this guy over half a year ago when we were in Kohoku together. And now there we were, standing right in front of him together again. If that’s not direction from the Lord, I don’t know what is. We talked for a while, traded contact info and we’ll be meeting with him again soon.
Things have been way good recently. The Lord is taking good care of us. We have transfer calls coming up next week and I’m hoping to stay in the promised land of Hachioji but I’ll let you all know what happens next week! Until then, have a good one!

Also, it’s a little late, but never too late, Happy 4th of July! Never take our Liberty for granted. Freedom never was free.
