Merry merry Christmas

 

メリークリスマス皆さん！！

I hope it was a great Christmas for you :)

We had a lot of fun stuff this week, so I'll just jump into it:

-We met with a super nice guy at McDonald's and taught him about the Book of Mormon! He read the introduction with us and said this is a really sacred book! Hopefully we can meet again

-I got to practice driving, and took the paper test for my license! Next month I'll take the driving test and get my license, so that's exciting

-We drove around giving presents to people a lot, which was so much fun

-We helped some other companionships do some caroling at a senior home

-We taught two new people who had interest in English, but they ended up asking a lot of questions about the church, and we set up an in person lesson, AND they came to church on Christmas

-We went Caroling and had a big dinner with a bunch of missionaries and some people with a baptismal date at the mission home on Christmas

It was such a great week! Getting the chance to testify of Christ's birth so often was the best. I hope you all felt closer to Christ this season!

Thanks, Love ya!

Hello everyone! It is very cold 

We got lots of snow this week, which was really fun. We even went sledding for pday today!

This week was packed of a lot of cool stuff, and I really learned a lot. We had mission tour with Elder McCune of the 70 this week, and got to spend a lot of time with him. He was such a loving person, I'm so glad I got to meet him. He gave us such a great invitations!

This week we did a lot of visiting to members and giving them Christmas presents, which was lots of fun. I quite like the members here haha 

Our sports night was really good this week! Hopefully we can keep having people come, and start teaching those people too!

I don't have a ton of time, so I'll leave it there, but thanks for all you guys do! Have a good Christmas!

Bye bye!

Actual snow!

 

皆さんこんにちは！

We finally got lots of snow yesterday! It snowed all night and stuck really well, so now there's about a foot of snow. Yay!

Here's a little look at our week!

-I went to the driving range and practiced driving! It's so much fun. Surprisingly being on the right side of the car isn't that weird! I'm excited to drive soon enough

-We had to say bye to my 2 great MTC companions and Elder Hill who was in our MTC group. It was sad to see them go, they were all such great missionaries. I learned a lot from each of them!

-We bought a giant beach ball for our sports night, and played volleyball with it! So much fun! 

-We had a Christmas party for our ward, and these two families from Afghanistan came! And one of them came to church the next day! Hopefully we can teach them soon

That's about all the interesting things that happened this week. Other than that, it was just normal missionary work!

My companion has been saying this quote a lot, so I'll leave you with this!

"You and I ultimately have to choose to be chosen, through the righteous use of moral agency."

Love ya, bye!

Snow!!

I don't have much time to write today, so I'll be brief

This week was super busy, but here are the highlights:

-Snow has finally come! I'm so excited for it

-9 missionaries went home, including my old companion Elder Kobayashi, so that was sad.

-but 11 really promising missionaries came! And I got to stay the night in a hotel with them, so that was nice. we had a hiccup with the subway in the morning, but everyone made it safely haha

-We found a new lady whose mom is a Christian so she might have some potential!!

Thanks for everything, bye!!
