Soccer, at night (10/16/17)

Hey everyone, I hope all y'all guys' weeks were great! Things here are going really great! This definitely has been one of the most interesting areas I have had so far on my mission. Probably also the biggest in terms of where we actually go to proselytize. :) I am so thankful we still have bikes, I am not looking forward to another walking winter.

Though a lot of changes are coming up soon so this winter will be VERY different than last winter. Though none of it is quite all that official. On another note this week has been super interesting. We had a bunch of appointments this week so we were super pumped.  Unfortunately somehow they all fell through but we still made the best out of things and tried to find more people. WE even got stopped as we were stopping people to talk to. We were just walking down the street when we were stopped by a missionary of another religion. We had a really interesting talk with him about how our religions were actually very similar. It also turns out that he was a super old investigator.

Unfortunately it didn't really end up going anywhere but it was still a funny incident. It was so interesting to see how God reveals things to people to prepare them for the whole truth and how much God loves all of his children. 

On another note, I finally felt like Elder Perry.  We played soccer with a bunch of middle school kids which went really well. We gathered a bunch of investigators to go play and found some more kids to play with. By the end we made pretty good friends with them and they all want to come to the Halloween party. Though what was really funny was that we were playing Soccer around 5-7 but the entire time it was just pitch black. I had no idea who anyone was because it was so hard to see. Though in the end it still went really well. We also went to a youth member's birthday party (turned 12) and she invited a non-member and some other investigator friends. The youth here are just awesome missionaries already. In all this week went super and was a ton of fun.

Love you all so much and hope you all have a great week.

Eniwa Chitose! (10/9/17)

Haha sorry I spent all of my time emailing a bunch if people. A lot has happened this week but not too sure what to say. Monday we visited with this awesome middle school student who we are hoping will get baptized. Tuesday we had Eikaiwa (English class) and I went to this delicious Nepal curry place called Mount Everest. Wednesday we met with this middle schooler again and taught him the plan of salvation but before we realized it, it was already 9:20 so we had to scurry on out :3 whoops, but following the spirit is always what's most important though!

Thursday we biked a ton (our area is HUGE!!!). Friday, something happened I'm sure. Saturday was General conference which was amazing and we tried to meet with a less active member but her husband doesn't really like us haha. Also General conference which was awesome! I really loved the Saturday morning session! Sunday was also General conference and we got an investigator to come to the morning session which was really great! Though we passed him over to the Japanese Elders as we were watching in English. :3 Sundays sessions were also amazing. I learned a ton but I think one of the most important things we were taught as a church was the importance of sustaining leaders.

Truly that is of absolute necessity. Even Jesus Christ was  sustained as he went through the Garden. I'm so glad to know the reality of revelations and the importance of our actions and their relationship with opening the windows of heaven larger into our lives. I hope you all had an amazing general conference too!!

Love,

Eniwa-Chitose (10/2/17)

Hey everyone! This week was transfer week! I was transferred to Eniwa-Chitose! I am still in the outskirts of Sapporo! I have yet to leave this beautiful city! Leaving Shinoro was super sad though. After being there for half a year I got to know a lot of the members really well. I really felt like a member that was moving. Though I am looking forward to serving the Lord in this new place. I am also finally back to being in a 4 elders apartment. I haven't been in one since Moiwa.  Now that was a long time ago haha.

Love

Y'all
