Hey
everyone how was y'all guys' weeks? Mine was a super busy one. We went crazy
visiting members and finding like crazy. Our member work is going really well
too. We were able to talk with a bunch of members this week at there homes and
were even fed a few times. We also made a ton of notes for people because this
last Sunday was fast Sunday. So, we made notes for everyone who gave their
testimonies thanking them for their support and love for the gospel. It was
super awesome to see all the reactions we got yesterday at church! Everyone was
super thankful for our work and showered us with love. It was really cool. I
also gave a talk in sacrament meeting on how Jesus Christ is the light of this
world. I connected that to the atonement and member missionary work and it all
went well I think. I may have made some mistakes in Japanese but I think the
spirit conveyed my message pretty well as I got a lot of comments and thanks
for my talk afterwards.
This
week we also got to meet our new mission president and his family which was
super awesome. We got to hear all about their life, including their children,
church service, how they met, their married life, you name it. President
McClure is a very transparent person who loves telling the truth even if it's hard to say or
hear. I think that is an amazing attribute and great character trait. President
McClure's Japanese is also starting to come back thanks to his hard work, but
it was funny having all the translation be for the Japanese missionaries this
time instead of the young English missionaries. We also heard a bit about his
vision and method of doing things. We could tell right off the bat his love for
us, the Lord, the strength of his faith, and determination to do what's right.
It was an amazing meeting filled with the spirit. Certainly everyone's spirits
were raised after meeting with President McClure.
We
also got fed twice this week which was a huge blessing! The first one was at a
Viking restaurant. In case you don't know what that means yet, basically a
buffet but the main attraction is the large variety of meats that they have.
Which you also cook yourself at your table.
It's really fun and delicious. Then we had a meal
yesterday at an amazing family's house. They made a ton of food but the main
dish was lasagna. Interestingly enough despite not having an oven it was
probably some of the best lasagna I have ever eaten in my life. Maybe I have
just missed that food long enough but needless to say this sister was a great
cook.
Anyways
I hope you all have amazing weeks filled with joy.
Love,
Elder Harvey
Everyone in a food coma afterwards. :)
