I still can`t speak Japanese‏

Well I will be honest. Email time is stressful! But I love it!

Every week I realize how blessed I am to be a missionary! I have such amazing experiences and meet extraordinary people.

I am also frequently humbled. This week I have come to learn that this truly is the Lord`s work, and He is preparing people, and things work on His time table. Not ours. I still really need to work on understanding that.

But this week we FINALLY had an investigator come to church! She previously had a baptism date that fell through and she started to fall away. But we kept visiting her and she came to sacrament and wants to go to FHE and we have an appointment with her. I am so excited for her!

We also work with a lot of interesting people here in Obihiro. But I keep thinking of Elder Holland`s talk from this last conference. Are we not all beggars? It is an awesome experience to try and show Heavenly Father`s and Christ`s love to those who need it most.

Oh, this week was transfer week, but because I am a bean nothing changed for me. Our whole district stayed the same except one elder transefered. He will be missed!

Sorry I don`t have much to say this week! But I love you all and hope you have a great week!
