Super Bowl Sunday

February 8, 2016

Sky tree! You can see it from my area.  It is so cool!!

Say Hello to Tokyo!

The sushi here was really good!   Elder Rhea is the one sitting next
to me and Elder Hansen is across from me.  I love these three
missionaries so much!  They are a blast!

The dishes here are so cool.

I love this family so much!

 The Kuwahara family

Where does the time go?  I cant believe I have been out for 7 months

now!  That is so crazy to me.  Also it is coming to the end of another

transfer.  I feel like I just got here and now I may be leaving!  I

doubt that I will be leaving but you never know.  I get me call next

week so I will let you all know what is going on! :)

This week was a fun week.  One of the best things that happened this

week was exchanges.  This was a way fun exchange.  I was with a

transfer one missionary!  He didnt know that much Japanese so that

means I had to take lead in everything!  We had a meeting that morning

so we couldnt start our study until 2:30 by the time we were done with

our study and dinner it was 7:30!  I learned so much from study

though.  There is a video that new missionaries get to watch called

the District and I love it!  When I was getting trained my trainers

were not the best at watching that video.  I maybe watched it two or

three times.  Not that much. haha  But when I watched it with Elder

Rhea, it was way fun!  I learned so many things that I could improve

on and how I can become a better missionary.  For this reason, I kind

of hope I get to train some time in the future.  I really want to

train a missionary and I think that if I do that I will also find out

how to be a better missionary.  Well my exchange with Elder Rhea went

pretty good!  We talked to a couple of people and then we decided to

go housing! I did the first house to show the example and then I let

him pick the next house.  He was doing everything in his power not to

do it.  We walked up to this one house and there was a car in the

drive way, the kitchen light was on and so was the upstairs bedroom

light.  He looked around the house probably for a good minute and then

said, "Yup this house is deserted.  I don't think anyone lives here."

I had to hold back from laughing so hard.  It was so funny.  Finally

after giving him a prep talk we were able to house a couple more

houses that night.  It was by far some of the funniest things that

have happened on exchanges.  haha  I loved this exchange so much!

The biggest thing that happened this week when it comes to

investigators is Elder Chou and I was walking around one day and no

one wanted to talk to us.  That actually happens a lot...  Haha  But

there was this one guy that I had a good feeling about so I stopped

him and it turned out he had lived in New York for five years so his

English is way good! I talked with him and made a really good

relationship with him on the spot.  It was so cool, we actually had a

lot of the same likes and he said that he had talked to like five

other church missionaries but he had never talked with an LDS

missionary.  So we told him what we do and how he can learn more about

our church.  We gave him a restoration pamphlet and he said if he has

any interest he will call the number on the pamphlet.  We said okay

and then went our ways.  I kind of had a feeling that he would call

back but at the same time I thought that he would be like everyone

else and not call us ever.  Well no joke, like five minutes later, we

get a call from him.  He must have read something in the pamphlet or

something but he called us and was really excited to learn more about

the church.  We are going to meet up with him tomorrow and give him a

church tour and also teach the first lesson.  I am so excited.  I

think this is also Heavenly Father answering my prayers to finally

find someone to teach and that has interest in the church.  This guy

is a huge answer to my prayers and I really hope he accepts our

message and choses to become closer to Christ.  I really hope he comes

tomorrow! :)

There has been so many things this week that have been answer to my

prayers.  I am so grateful for the Savior, the Holy Ghost, and our

loving Heavenly Father.  I know he hears and answers our prayers.

There are many people out there who think God is this scary thing that

hates them.  I am here to testify that God is our loving Heavenly

Father and he loves us so much.  He loves you just like your father on

earth loves you.  He wants to help you and he can only help you if you

make yourself humble and ask for help and guidance through prayer.  I

know that Jesus Christ lives and loves us also.  He is the Savior of

this world.  I am so grateful for this church and all the many

blessing I have recieved since I have been on my mission.  I am also

very thankful for my wonderful family who loves and supports me so

much.  I love them so much.  They are the best examples to me and I

hope one day I can be like them. I am also thankful for you and all

your love and support you give me.  I love you all so much and you are

in  my prayers.  I hope you see the blessings Heavenly Father gives

you through this week as you pray to him.  He loves you and wants to

bless you, all it takes is a little prayer.  I love you all so much

and I hope you have an amazing week!  Take care and talk to you next

week! :)
