Week 71 - 12/23/18 - Email

Merry Christmas everyone!! 

These past few weeks we have been giving out Light the World pass along cards with a piece of chocolate attached to spread some Christmas cheer. Small thing but it's fun to see how much it makes some people's day. 

We had a really awesome Mission Christmas conference the other day. One recent convert got up and bore his testimony about how much the gospel has changed his life in just the 1 month since he's been baptized. It was cool to hear. He's already preparing for a mission!  It was a very spirit filled meeting and got me pumped for Christmas! 

Yesterday we received a box from our ward full of Christmas presents and food. This thing was massive. We couldn't wait so we opened everything already haha. We now have wayyy too much chocolate but I'm not complaining. It was super nice of them. Kofu ward is awesome!

I talked to a college student on the train the other day and gave him a pass along card with a chocolate then he returned the favor and gave me a piece of candy haha. I quickly realized that he had a major social problem but I could tell how much it meant to him that someone reached out and talked to him. When we got off the train he asked if I had 5 minutes to spare until his next train came and we just chatted. I told him I like running then at the end of the conversation he said "let's go running sometime!" even though he told me he hates exercise. I think he just needs a friend. We added each other on LINE so I hope we can meet up again and help him out. I'm glad I was able to meet him! 

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
