New Transfer!

So we had a new transfer! Elder Marks is my new companion!

We had a great MLC (Mission Leadership Council) and we rode an hour to that. We talked about the mission as always and just really focused on our missionary purpose and how when we focus on it, truly apply it to every aspect of not just our work, but our life, we can solve most, if not all, of the issues missionaries face. It was a great place to be and to discuss as a council how to help the Kobe mission!

Elder Wada is doing a mission tour in our mission in a couple weeks which will be a very special experience! We are doing three zone conference's around the mission and two devotionals and two MLC's. Whew!

So how has the transfer been so far? It's been great! We have already seen so many miracles from just being cheerful and saying hello to everyone! We even had two people come to church by accident haha. I guess they wanted a different church, but the girlfriend took English lessons from some sister missionaries and she came to church with her boyfriend from Hawaii! And she wants to come to church every Sunday which is great! Super cool miracle :).

Something I learned this week was more about trust in God. Not trusting in our actions, but trusting in God. Nephi, the Stripling Warriors, yes they had amazing qualities, but they didn't trust in the "arm of flesh", but rather in God. They used their arms of flesh, but didn't trust in it. Let's put it this way, do you trust a hammer to build a house or a builder? Yes the builder isn't physically putting in the nails, but he is the "builder". The hammer is the tool.

So throughout our weeks let's put our trust in God and not in our actions. We still need those actions, praying, reading the scriptures, but those actions don't save us. Christ does! But we still need those things to bring us unto Christ and God!

I can't remember the other thing I wanted to talk about haha. But always focus on Christ and trust in Him!

We went to Namba on pday today, it was a little too much for me haha.

Love you all!
