New companion!

Us and a guy we're teaching

 どうもジョーンズ長老です！

Hey there everyone! Sorry my pday got switched to Wednesday because we have mission temple trip today! 

This week was pretty crazy though. We had an exchange and it went really good, but other than that we were doing our normal missionary thing! We also got news that an elder was gonna join our companionship! We picked him up on Sunday and he's a hoot. His name is Elder Johnson and he was serving in Utah before this.

Anyway, here's some stories from this week!

-Played billiards with a less active member and her friend

-Had a meeting with the stake leadership and President Kinjo, which was pretty cool. One of my favorite parts of my mission has been getting to see how involved ward leadership is with missionaries

-we sang Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam... in sacrament meeting! So that was fun

-Met my mission president's daughter who lives in Saratoga Springs! It was cool to get to hear how things have changed there

-We had a YSA activity at a member's apartment and it was so much fun!! Even played some Werewolf

That's some of what I've been doing lately, but honestly it's just been so fun here! I love the people here, and the missionaries are all such good examples. The Gospel is all about who we are becoming! I think it's beneficial to keep that in mind. But the key part of it is "becoming" not "become", we should enjoy the process, not just look forward to the joy of the results.

愛しています～

バイバイ！！
