Thank you for the weekly updates! Have fun seeing Nathan`s tournament! I want to hear about it later.

Don't worry about the music... It was by micheal marshel and steven sharp nelson? I think... if you can find music like that that could be great! (I might be in Aomori for a bit.. so don't stress too much,) I have a lot of music memorized. XD

 

So this week was great mom! I was able to get outside and talk about eikaiwa a bit because our area is focusing on it as well. It is like starting all over again though, which is kind of hard. We were talking to people outside in a blizzard! (which seems to be like every night) usually people just look down, and keep walking, but this time they felt so sorry for us, they wanted to talk! Japanese people are very kind!

 

I will be going to Hachinohe on Friday to see my beloved Investigator get baptized. I know it will be an amazing experience for me, I will continue to contact her during and after my mission. It`s hard to move on from an area, but I am blessed to be able to get back and see her.

 

Speaking of that, the other investigator that got baptized in Hachinohe, and probably my life long friend, came to Aomori to visit me during a branch activity!? WHAT! I was shocked because he came by himself. He said since he didn't get to say goodbye he wanted to come see me. the activity was sports and soup party! I made a lot of friends with the members, and was able to see my friend from Hachinohe, This week was great! It was sad to say goodbye to him (he is probably going to get transferred because he is in the Navy...) however I am thankful for the blessings I get from God.

 

I walked a lot through deep snow to find members houses, dendo`d in deep blizzards and all and all had a great week! Iwasa shimai is great for putting up with me XD haha, I can be a handful sometimes. I have been thinking a lot about God`s love... and when we serve other`s and think about other`s our lives are made happy. I gave a talk and played my violin last Sunday about this, but since it was in Japanese It was hard to get my thoughts around haha... my mission has a lot of situations where I cant control it, If I trust in God, I know he will continue his work. DC 123:14-17? I think? I just have to do my best and love the Lord... honestly being stressed about silly things is trivial when you think about God`s plan in a whole. I`ll do my best in Aomori. My time is running out, so I want to use it as much as I can.

 

I love everyone!

have a good week!
