Alright everyone,
it is ok if you don't take a break from your Super Bowl watching to read
my email. Now all you people just
watching for the commercials, your missing out on the beauty of 300+pound men
doing athletic things. If you are that
commercial only person, please watch the game!
I know most can't read the title so I'll explain it a
little bit. I am already an old man! My body is probably not going to hold up
these finally 6 months. Most likely I
will be limping down the ramp in August!!
I know that is just music to your ears mom!
We continued to teach our investigator with a bap
date. However he did pull a couple no
shows to lessons, but when we went to his house he always lets us in. We had a little discussion about the Book of
Mormon and baptism!! Every time we visit
he always says that he was close to a miracle!
I am not sure what that means but he said that he has felt this way ever
since we found him. Miura san is looking
good too and he still has a bap date for after the transfer ends... cause of
that I am kinda nervous about this transfer.
I've been here for a total of 4 so I feel like it's time... :(. But idk yet cause still got 3 weeks. Lets go nuts!
Also this week we had a mission tour with the President
of the Area Presidency. Elder Whiting
came and did 2 conferences with half of the mission. He said over and over that he is just an
orderve (the thing you eat before the big meal) (BTW I AM FORGETTING TONS OF
ENGLISH) because Elder Holland is coming in 2 weeks so he was just prepping us
for it. He shared a lot of stories and
thoughts about his mission (In the Tokyo North, Now the Tokyo mission) and
especially about having fun on the mission and the Savior. He said that we can either enjoy or endure
our mission. We can choose to enjoy the
cold of Sendai or endure it. I'll be
honest there have been some days where I have endured it. Just for example I thought I was
"enduring" my time being a young missionary where i didnt understand
much of what was going on. But I look
back on that time and I know I enjoyed it.
I loved being a bean!! It was way
fun! I am enjoying my mission and love
serving the people in Japan. They are
great.
However, when you look back you know that some times were
hard and challenging but you dont remember them specifically in fact the only
things we remember perfectly are the good times that we all had. So lets choose to enjoy our time so that we
can have more memories! So put on a
smile and enjoy it! Think positive
Sorry i am not good at righting letters but i am pretty
good at telling stories from memory so just wait till i get home!!
I had ZL splits this week and got to be back with an old
comp. ELDER DANIELS, it was way fun i loved it!
It was great to be back with that guy and work in Kamisugi! The members are great!
Also when the Fam comes to get me after the mission. A member said that she will hook me up with a
place to stay in Tokyo which is right next to the temple. Turns out that her son lives in this big
house that we can stay in apparently!!
Way excited Mom, Dad and Syd??
