Dear Family,
Well hey this week was pretty
good. After I signed off last week we went up into the main part of Tokyo to see a concert put on by the BYU Hawaii choir with
our investigator from Africa named Ammar. So
that was a lot of fun. Other than that this week we have been super super busy.
Lots of random things popped up suddenly and we only had about 8 hours this
week to really dendo. So being a zone leader is difficult but hey its fun and I
enjoy it. Also this Saturday is transfer call day so I'll be finding out if I
will be here to finish or not. I feel like I will but you never know with a new
mission president and all. Speaking of new president, President Warnick is an
awesome guy, I really like him so far as my mission president and he's been
doing really well. It’s weird because President Wada is very American but still
has some Japanese things left in him, but President Warnick is all American and
it’s very refreshing.
So here's how our crazy week went.
We started off with some splits with some struggling elders in our zone, and it
probably doesn’t sound a whole lot like me to do so but I got all sorts of up
in one elders face. I didn’t do it in a rude way or anything because I
obviously have to show forth an increase of love just like that scripture in
D&C says, but he is the most lazy anti-dendo missionary I’ve ever met. He
refuses to share the gospel on the street and will purposely sabotage contacts
of his companion and me. And you know I’m not going to let that continue, so I
had to grill him and show him that we're not going to tolerate that garbage in
our zone. It didn’t change a whole lot but it helped a little bit so hopefully
we can get him taken care of by the end so he doesn’t keep destroying
investigators and missionaries. So that was the first exciting part of my week.
Then on Wednesday after English Class we went home and did our daily planning.
Once we finished, I was in the process of changing clothes when we got a call
from the sisters with one of them yelling for us to take the call seriously and
that Sister Brady had crashed on her bike and we needed to be there right now,
so I threw my shirt on, we grabbed our running shoes and we sprinted out the
door to go meet the sisters. When we got there Sister Brady was in the
ambulance, and we had a whole bunch of miracles because I had my ipad, my ID,
and the churches address we were able to get everything taken care of with the
police and the ambulance and they got her to the hospital about 30 minutes
after we got there. Since then they found out she broke her arm and got a bad
concussion so she will be heading home this week. But basically from Wednesday
until now there were lots of trips to bring them things because they can’t
leave their apartment and things like that. So it’s been a Crazy week.
However another miracle from the
week is that we met a guy on splits named Sato who we met again on Thursday and
he came to church yesterday! I haven’t had someone progress that quickly in my
whole time in Kamiooka so it was really nice to see.
Also a funny story. We had a YSA
crepe night planned for Friday with a current headcount of 35 people. So on Thursday
we all got together and had a crepe making party and we made somewhere around
140 crepes. We were making crepes for literally 3 hours for this event. Then
when the actual event came there were only about 18 people who actually
came.... So we now have a stack of probably 60 crepes in our freezer... anyone
up for a crepe party?? lol
So yeah that was pretty much my
week! I hope you all get a kick out of the fact that I will be eating crepes
for every meal for the next forever! Oh also, speaking of breakfast food like
crepes. Can I have a waffle iron in college mom? I would love to do that. I am
also really glad that you were able to make it to Utah

P.S. I
think I want to work at a car dealership during college. I think I could sell a
car pretty well after my mission. What do you think?
