Another week has gone by! seems like I just keep coming back to this computer to type emails. This week we had everything Christmas! I got to call my loving family via Skype and hear everyone`s voices. It sure was amazing. We had the big Christmas party and had 15 eikaiwa students come to it. Wow! Amazing. Work really is increasing here in Hachinohe. I was able to start normal lessons with one of the eikaiwa students. She is only 15, so I`ll have to do my best to teach her by the spirit. She has been thinking alot about after death, and about Jesus Christ! She is so amazing! Plus she loves eikaiwa and comes every week. The year is almost ending so that means this week I`ll do a lot of cleaning and visiting members. Today we played soccer in the morning with a member and our favorite investigator who will be baptized on the 11th! (right?) The ward is very excited. He is a wonderful person and wants to help everyone.
So this week I've been thinking a lot on the Savior`s atonement. We think about Him well during Christmas time, and every Sunday. The love he has for everyone is so strong it`s incomprehensible. Though we feel weak, depressed, hurt, or hopeless he never leaves our side. He didn`t leave in the first place. The love of the Savior, and the gift of the atonement is sure evidence of God`s love for his children. We feel sad when our family members are sad, and mourn with them. So does He. Through Christ`s atonement we can be made whole, and can continue through this life in Joy and purpose. I know that my Savior and Redeemer lives. I know that this gospel changes lives. It has changed mine, and I want to share my message with the people in Japan.
I love everyone! (sorry for the lame update)
Enjoy New years! (I`ll be cleaning!)
