Week #15

So, in all honesty dad i am super sorry and its been killing me not having the camera there has been allot of things iv wanted to take pictures of but couldn't, as far as time goes it would probably be best if i got the camera here rather than having it sent, i am really sorry i wasn't as responsible as i needed to be and for that im sorry,

any way this weeks been good if not a little tiring my new aria tokuyama is up towards the top of the mission just under hiroshima so its kind of cold, not as cold as idaho about now, but definitely colder than Okinawa was.

my new doryo no namae wa lawson choro desu. kare is taller than my last doryo but only weighs 20 lbs more than him so i can still pick him up.

its weird being in only a twosome back in nago there were four of us, dakara, its allot quieter now. but its still fun. elder lawson is dieing this transfer, meaning this his last transfer, he likes drawing, therefore i have allot of chances to draw this transfer and help him to get better as well he really likes anime too, so we have allot to talk about.

the language is definitely getting easier i feel like im starting to be able to share my real thoughts on things and teaching is becoming easier. the new ward so far are all really nice its allot bigger than nogo no wado was, i don't have my bike from nago yet, so its allot of walking right now but it should be here soon.

one of the kyodaitachi in the ward is a super good cook, thomas would like him, he made us dinner a few nights ago and guess what we had. ... SUSHI!!!!! it was chou oishikatta desu, and we had a fe other things it was all so good.

our apartment is about as big as my las one but theres only two of us so it feels a little bigger, here are allot of short doorways lately especially in members homes, but ive become good at missing he top of the door.

well thats mostly whats up right now, ill leave you with a little message as usually noticed about myself when i first got to japan and had a real budget, that i took so many blessings for granted because i grew up in privilege you could say,

we have so many blessings we don't notice even really big ones, just because we've known them all our lives, my suggestion to all of you is to take some time to think of all the things your grateful for make it an activity at dinner especially with lots of people and especially when you feeling a little burdened or sad. we all, so often forget our countless blessings, like for me one of the biggest most non repayable blessing aside from the atonement is having the family and wonderful parents that i was born into, i never felt like i would want different parents your not perfect, no one is but yo do your best and really care and thats whats most important, watashi no subarashi kazoku ni kokkoro kara kanshiashitteimasu yo "i am so grateful for my wonderful family" no only that but i also was blessed with wonderful siblings, we fought and argued but as we grew older and i got bigger than you allot of he arguing stooped and i was easier to be around you, though the years iv  realized now i don't know what id of done without you you helped teach me and loved me all these years, you helpless little brother who annoyed you so much, thank you for you patience and help your the best.

i love you all so much kokoro kara aishitteimasu, kokoro kara literally means from the hear and mind, there is no way i would replace anything about you all.

i miss you i pray for you, gambatane.

Week #14

kooooooniiiiichiii waaaaaa mina san 

hello there my wonderfull family i have some cool news, im transferring toooooooo,tokuyama on mainland, 

ill admit im going to miss my cool district here and the people here in nago even if there are allot of crazy people here, i love them all the same though, the ward has been cool too ill miss being able to speak a little ego to members but im still super excited to go to mainland, ill really miss the elders here they were great and, honestly, my copanions not bad its just that he gets a little iritated when he cant understand what im thinking wich is all ways, but anyway we have had some really good days lately.

any way ive seen so many mericles here in nago its been great here, nago has grown so much and ill be sad not to get to see so many come to this gosple but i trust my comp. he will do it well and help them hoever he can.

i went  to the nago castle today it was cool there and i might get pics from one of the elders here and mabe i can send them.

i miss you all allot but im so in this work that p day and at night is really the only time i can think about that.

my little messege today is realated to the commandment love one another more or less, loving every body can be hard but we can all ways show love, we do this through kindness pacience and charity do this and pray to feel how heavenly fatherfeels about his childern, with faith i know that it can happen. and try to think of everyone every single person you see as your brothers and sisters as they are 

iv have and am doing these things and i can feel my love growing especialy for you all, to mom and dad, im sorry, iv been so difficult i was disobedient and rebelious and lazy. iv allways loved you as my parents but i never showed that love as i should have and for that im sorry.

i know heavenly father loves us all more than we can understand, i know christ and his perfect atonement are allways there for us to lean on and to be streangthend by if we have faith our berdens will be lifted.

i love you 

i miss you 

till next week,

Week #13

any way sorry its taken so long for me to wouldn'tright back the computer wouldn't work last week and it killed me not to be able to read and send you guys some e-mails but don't worry it didn't distract me at all.

so things are moving along well here, at least as well as they can.

most day don't change allot but i am seeing some progression in our investigators and thats cool the members here are really cool especially the each family there really cool and the parents can speak ego so thats really helpful.

 

last night we ate at an investigators home and i got to have my first lligitament sushi it was sashimi and allot of it real miso and tempura it was soooo good.

 

i cant believe the transfers almost over, its crazy next week is transfer week i have no idea whats going to happen.

my companion is difficult sometimes ill admit, he is just like briten except japanese, super stuborn and short tempered, but we have our good days, like today is really good, he also knows allot especially about gospel stuff.

one of the things he has taut me and iv noticed with my scripture study is that, since i've been a member all my life iv come to have faith in some things without experience or proof, simply because i know that heavenly father loves me and would only help me, but one thing we must do to teach there people who don't know god or have any background like that we must fin the what the point of everything is at least to give them a base in explainable truth, but doing this allso streangthens your testimony becaus you are allready taking something you know it true and answering the why and how questions, atleast as far as they are explainable, as an example

 

Q: whay cant i drink coffee.

a: well first reason heavenly father tells us not to

second on reason we are told not to is because it has addictive propertiese.

 

theres more to it than that but thats a simple example.

anyway if there is one thing i can leave you with that you should allways remember it is that. i love you heavenly father loves you the main reason for why we keep the commandments should be because he said so and you love him but its not allways where we are at first, so if thats not where you are yet that study it pray about it, knowledge is a great thing especialy when its about gosple things but remember the quote "doubt you doubts befor you doubt your faith"

i love you

do your best in all things and pray for streangth to do more

kemp choro.
