Week 66 - 11/18/18 - Group Email

We just got our transfer emails! I'll be staying in Kofu and my comp will be a brand new missionary. Should be an exciting transfer! 

Last Pday a member drove us to some ninja village over by Mt. Fuji! The Ninja place was alright but seeing Fuji up close was amazing. It's unreal how large that volcano is. On the way home we drove through the suicide forest and got out for a second to walk around. Sadly it was already dark by the time we got there so I couldn't take any pictures or really even see much for that matter. 

On Friday we ate some ramen on our way to do service at the elderly care center. I decided to get the spicy ramen because you know I like a little kick but let me tell ya this ramen was literally the spiciest thing I have ever eaten. We were short on time as well so I had to down it super quick. I was sweating, crying, and coughing like crazy. It was bad. The next 24 hours were not fun as well... lol. 

We had a mission conference on Tuesday and Elder Clayton from the 70 came. It was awesome to hear from him and some other General authorities who were present! He said if we all (each missionary) can have 10 meaningful gospel conversations with people we don't know everyday then we will start to see tons more miracles. That's not easy to do when people don't let us talk about the gospel with them but we have been trying our hardest! 

I went on exchanges with the other two Elders (Peet and Ebbing) in my apartment this past week. It's always fun to work with other missionaries. Elder Peet and I talked to tons of people and were able to give out a couple Book of Mormons. It was a good day!

We finally had our movie night on Saturday that we had been planning for the previous month. We showed "Meet the Mormons." We had hyped it up and were expecting tons of people to show but when 6:00 hit there were a solid 4 people who had come. Throughout the movie 6 more came but that was a bit of a let down. On the bright side a member brought her boyfriend who had never been in the church before so it was all worth it! 

Ski season is starting up so everyone better get up there and shred for me!! πŸ˜‰

Love ya'll
