Preparing for returning

 

Dear  Sister  Jones,

I am sending the same letter once again only because I had sent you this letter with a date of “January 13, 2022” instead of 2023 by mistake.  Please note that he is coming home on January 13, 2023.

 

 

The time is approaching for Elder Nicolas Chase Jones’s release from the Japan Sapporo Mission.  I need the following information to start processing his travel home: 

 

   1) Elder Jones is scheduled to depart Sapporo on January 13, 2023.

 

   2) We have a record of an airport where Elder Jones initially flew out,  which is Salt Lake City International Airport.  We have spoken with him and confirmed that he desires to fly back to the same airport.

       However, it is also critically important that I receive your words of  agreement or any modifications should you so desire ASAP.

 

   3) Please let me know also if your Bishop and/or your Stake President has changed before your son returns home. 

 

It has been a great opportunity to work with your son.  We will miss him “greatly” after he leaves even though we know that he will be embraced in your loving arms.  Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful son

with us!

皆さんこんにちは！！

How was your week??

This week was a pretty good one over here :)

Here's the rundown:

-Had a really good meeting over by the temple that took a while, but it was so worth it

-After that we found this super nice lady while housing! She's so cool. Hopefully this week we'll get to teach her!

-The next day we had a big event for the seminary youth in the two Hokkaido stakes, and we got to play games and eat barbeque. So tasty!!

Other than that, nothing else that crazy happened! It was a great week, and I'm looking forward to this next one!

Thanks for everything!

Bye bye

Elder Bednar

 

どうもジョーンズ長老です！！

Hello Everyone! I hope you all had great weeks :)

My week was pretty eventful I suppose!

Elder Bednar came to our mission on Wednesday and it was so special. I learned so many lessons it would be hard to write them all down. I definitely invite each of you to study his conference talks closely. I honestly think that the things I learned from the spirit during that meeting have changed my life.

Definitely a highlight of my mission!

Here are some of the other things we did this week!

-We got our new companion, which has been good

-We took this guy from Tokyo on a tour around Sapporo, and went to this cool old village here. Twas fun haha

-That same guy came to church with us the next day! Pretty surprising, but it was a good experience

-We played sports with some members in the ward, that was a lot of fun. Hopefully we will have some of our friends coming weekly to our sports night

-We had lots of fun little experiences while streeting this week. Nighttime is where it's at for streeting.

-Had an old drunk guy get mad at us and try to hit us haha

Anyway, it was a really good week, and we're really looking forward to this week. 

I have an invitation though!! General conference is coming up right? Don't write anything anyone says! Only write down the promptings and the things you learn from the Holy Ghost. Promise it'll be worth it!

I love you all so so much! 

"I hope all of you think of this as the best two years of your life, but I really hope you don't think that for too long. Because a lot more comes along in life, and if you follow the spirit these two years won't be the best you have."

ヤッホー！！

This week was pretty good! We didn't have anything too crazy happen but here's what we did!

-got transfer calls! I'm staying here in this area with Kobayashi Chourou, and we're getting a new missionary too! So exciting

-We went to a waterfall last pday, which was really pretty

-A guy that we talked to while ago while streeting came to our English class this week! And he brought his friends, too

-We saw a deer while it was late at night and it was kind of spooky haha. For a second I thought it was a bear

-We had a barbeque with a member couple on Saturday! It was so tasty :) and the weather was perfect!

-the biggest thing that happened was we had 4 new missionaries come join us! They all flew into Sapporo really late, so we had to stay up to welcome them to our apartment, and now we're working as a 6 man! Church was really fun because of that haha

Ok that's about it! Not too much crazy going on this week!

Have a good week!

またね

Fishin' Time!!

 

どうもジョーンズ長老です！

This week was really fun! We were in that Muroran city until Wednesday morning, then the rest of the week was normal!

Muroran was so pretty! It's kind of a small town, and it's right by the ocean. I felt much joy walking down the streets there haha.

In Muroran we:

-went early morning fishing

-went to the beach a couple times

-went to this Ainu place, which is the equivalent of native Americans in Japan. So cool. 

As far as the rest of the week goes, we did our normal thing, but here's some highlights!

-had dinner with our hilarious bishop and his family

-we said bye to one of the members who left on his mission! Also his brother and sister in law had the cutest little baby, and we got to meet her!

We have some really good potentials for new people this week that we're excited about! I think this is gonna be a good one!

バイバイ！！

Zone Conference and stuff

 

こんにちは！

This week, not much happened! Haha it was a pretty normal week

We did have zone conference! It was a really good meeting. I love getting to see all the other missionaries together and learn together. So much fun!

Stuff that happened this week... hmmm..

-Had a really fun zone pday, playing games and had pizza all together!

-Had dinner with a member couple, and it felt so much like a member meal in texas! It was kind of a weird feeling haha

-yesterday we went to a place called Muroran for exchanges! It's a small town by the ocean, so today we're gonna go fishing and go to an Ainu village!

Ok that's about all! Hope you have a good week!

こんにちは！！

I don't have a ton of time to email this week, but it was a pretty good one! Here's the rundown!

-we became the ad team for the mission so we made a couple ads this week!

-I met a missionary that used to serve here that a bunch of people have said we're super similar. It was kind of a weird feeling because we were super similar haha

-Our English class was really fun this week!! We had some cool success with it!

-My favorite person I ever taught in Texas got baptized, and thanks to the awesome missionaries there I got to attend over zoom!! It was so fun

-Did exchanges with Elder Yoshizawa who started his mission the same time as me. He's hilarious

That was about all, sorry I have no time!!
