Week 81

 Blessing outside, Speaking of Christ

We had such a great last week.

Highlights and miracles

1. Brother Fujita is a friend that wanted to recieve baptism. Elder Bennion and another Elder called Elder Leonard taught him one or two lessons and then Brother Fujita got super sick and fell off the face of the earth. After visiting him twice and just seeing how he was doing, we got back into contact! We then talked to the Brother that referred him and then went to his house. We then gave Brother Fujita a blessing to him outside his apartment. He said he really felt the Spirit and so did we! We are continuing to work with him!

2. We got to travel a lot with Fujita San, District Council in Wakayama, and exchanges in Nara. It was great to interact with a lot of amazing missionaries. 

3. Had a lot of great lessons with friends. Tsukui San, Ueda Shimai. We have been so blessed this transfer!

4. We have a lot of friends that aren't being taught as we just found them and haven't been able to set up lessons. But we hope there will be so many more people to teach in the next couple of weeks. We still have two Chinese friends and we have our first lesson this Tuesday! 

5. We had a fun YSA and YA activity about family history which was cool. We then had Costco pizza, chicken, and ice cream. So good :).

6. And I get to speak in Sacrament meeting this week! (if I don'f get transferred haha). First time in Japan!

So yeah, this is the last email of this transfer! I have 3 more amazing transfers in Japan this week, I'm so excited to follow God's will and to grow and learn. Elder Matsumoto and a lot of other great missionaries are leaving. 

Elders Toriumi, Matsunuma, Kawatsuna, Nishida, Seki, Barr are heading home. Sisters Wise, Sisters Rich, Gearheart, Nascimento, Wada, Miyahira, Hill. 13 missionaries! That's a lot for a mission with only 88. I was able to serve with all of them except for 3 of them and they have all been great examples to me. Remember those who have touched your life in some way.

So thanks to everyone for what you have done for me! I really do remember every single one of you and grateful to have the privilege to know each and every one of you reading this email. Thank you so much!

Got to go to the aquarium with Elder Toriumi and Elder Keate and called Elder Matsumoto In Kyoto!

Love you all!
