This past week was my beloved Elder Koide's last
week. To start of the week, I had a
first time in my life/mission experience on Tuesday. A 3 man split. There
was a lot going on last week that ended up in an Elder going home and making a
3 man in Izumi. So when our split rolled
around, I got paired up with Elder Hargadon and Elder Olivera (Brazilian but
speaks perfect Japanese). It was fun and a great learning experience.
A member is taking Elder Koide and I out to lunch before
he leaves. I don't have much time
because I have to pack as I am spending a few days in Izumi waiting for my new
companion. This will be short but I
wanted to share one more thing.
Well to be honest Elder Koide and I only had an hour of
work all week. But during that one hour,
which was spread out over a couple days, we were able to visit a less active
and share pamphlets with people. I was
feeling pretty guilty like I let God down cause the time wasn't used the best.
Our working time was cut drastically but when I was handing out pamphlets and
telling people about the plan of salvation, all those negative feelings of
guilt went away and brought peace.
Sharing the gospel really does bring peace and happiness. That is why I
love being a missionary. Helping people
come to know the way to happiness, the way to Christ. This Christmas season let's celebrate,
worship and learn about Christ. Go to
Mormon.org/LighttheWorld and there are simple ways to be of service every day
until Christmas. I promise by doing the
things that Christ did, you will light someone's day as well as your own. I know that Christ is the source of light and
He made it possible for us to receive that light.
Love you all and have a good week.
