Week 42 - 06/03/18 - Group Email

Last pday we went to Yokohama and did some sightseeing! We went to China town, Yamashita park, the landmark tower, pokemon center and a few other places. It was a good time! I hope I get to serve there sometime soon because the big city is really cool. On the way there we happened to get on the same train as a less active member who happened to take the train that day instead of walking. Pretty cool how things happen!

While I was handing out fliers one day a kid passed that was wearing a BYU shirt!! I stopped him and asked why he was wearing it and he said he did a homestay in Utah when he was in elementary school. Pretty crazy!

In the past couple weeks we have been finding lots of college aged students and quite a few have become new investigators. It's been really fun teaching kids that are close to the same age as me and we have been able to become really tight with them! I love Japanese college kids and am so down to study abroad here after my mission!

We did a big zone blitz this week in Shonan which is my last area so it was fun to dendo again back there! A few members came as well so it was fun to catch up and see them again. Kinda crazy that I left that area almost 3 months ago.

This week I finished the Book of Mormon for the 3rd time since I have been a missionary! Each time I read it my understanding increasing and I really feel like it is a book from God. There really is value in the Book of Mormon and I recommend you all go read it! My favorite verse is still Mosiah 2:41 It's 🔥🔥
"And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it."
