<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Hello Family and Friends,</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">How are you doing? Hope the week was good and you're all doing well </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">and healthy. I pray for you often. I am so excited to see you all and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">catch up yet again. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">This week was awesome. We had my last MLC, last ZTM, last Sunday as a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">full time missionary etc. but wow was it so amazing. Met lots of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">investigators and all the lessons were great. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">We met with Kim 3 times and two were over Skype cause she has been </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">pretty sick but she is progressing so well and I can't wait to see the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">pictures of her baptized in these next few months. I love her so much! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">She's also been reading daily and is way into studying the Book of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Mormon now. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">We met with Riona Chan a new investigator </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1654211673" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204 , 204 , 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"> at the church and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">it was her first time in a church. It was awesome! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">We asked her to pray out loud for the first time and she did! It was </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">amazing and the spirit was so strong. She asked god if he loved her </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">and right when she said that, I just knew he did. So we hope she felt </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">it, she is way shy so doesn't always express what she feels but I know </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">she felt something because the spirit was there. I'm excited to see</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">her progress and grow. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">But it was a good busy week! Sorry I won't write a lot because I want </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">to share a testimony and thoughts of my mission. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Okay I want to share my testimony, especially about my mission. These </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">last 18 months have changed my life. I don't even know where to begin. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">I came out here hoping to change my life, it was honestly about me. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">But as I got here and learned to love these people, felt Gods love for </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">them and understood really why I was here, it was about them. As I </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">focused on them and serving my father in heaven then I was able to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">change. You helps others and god helps you. I have come to love this </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">place, these people, my Father in Heaven, and my Savior Jesus Christ. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Because of my Savior I've been able to get through those days I didn't</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">think I could. His atonement can do all and will do all if we let it. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">If we humble ourselves and do our best then let him provide then it'll </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">all work out in his timing. I know He lives and sacrifices for me, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">you, and this amazing people of Japan. I've come so close to my Savior </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">and now I know He is my best friend. He can be anyone's if we take the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">simple steps of humility, change, and ask. I've learned to love </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">repentance. Or just as simple as change. Changing it a wonderful thing </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">and I look forward to it daily and can't wait to keep changing. These</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">18 months were hard and sometimes I wanted to stop, but as I saw the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">ones I love change and feel of that special spirit, I knew I had to be </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">here and knew there was not any greater joy then that. I know the Book</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">of Mormon is true, it was translated by another amazing man I have </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">come to love, Joseph Smith. If it weren't for him there wouldn't be </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">missionaries and I love him for his sacrifice. This church is true, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">being a missionary is the greatest decision I've ever made and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">wouldn't change it for the world. I'm overwhelmed with joy to see you </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">all again but I've heart broken to leave this place and these people </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">whom I love. This church is true, God loves all of us, and he hears </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">our prayers. I've prayed so many times because I had nothing else to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">turn too and he listened, loved, and helped me. It wasn't always </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">exactly what I had planned but it was always what I needed. Never</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">forget he listens with all his heart and just wants you to be happy. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Please my simple challenge is keep pray to him </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1654211674" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204 , 204 , 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tonight</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"> and just ask </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">him, do you love me and I know he will answer you and that feeling </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">will be something you never forget. I love my Father in Heaven and my </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Savior Jesus Christ with all my heart. I know this all to be true and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">I am forever grateful for these past year and a half and for all the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">love and support I felt.

<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 15pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How are you doing this week? Hope that the new year is starting off on a good foot and everyone is happy and recognizing those blessings we have everyday. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15pt;">So this week, wow what a good week! We are so busy all the time it's not even funny but it makes the days so much fun and just full of the spirit. We are both so exhausted everyday but wow it's a good exhausted. </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Before I talk about investigators, I need to tell you about the world wide devotional we has for missionaries. It was so crazy and shocking. It was a good spiritual meeting but also they changed the schedule of missionaries and the key indicators. We now have 4 only, Baptized, Baptismal Date, Church, and new investigators. Way more pressure with numbers now. Getting zeros just got a whole lot easier. (Yeah I get it for a week and a half) but anyway it's very interesting and we aren't quite sure how to use it to its fullest potential yet. But we used to study 3 hours in the morning and plan at night. Well now we plan our day that morning, do personal study and we are out by <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1557331649" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">10:00</span></span>. Then it is our choice during the day when we put in our companionship study and language. Way weird. And we now do not study on preparation day besides personal for 30 minutes. Yeah it's way weird and it's sad it's my last week and a half but I think it'll have lots of good things to the work. And they talked a lot about how they want it to help us for after the mission too because we don't have set aside those 3 hours in the morning so we need to learn to use our agency and plan our study for when we are home too which I love. I'm excited to try it this week and hear from my companions how it has affected their work. </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Well</span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1557331650" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 15pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">we were able to meet with Murata San. A 85 year old grandma who comes to Eikawa and is a Christian and told one of our members two Sundays ago when she randomly came to church that she wanted to listen to us again because she did before but she wouldn't do the commitments. So we met with her two weeks ago and it was kind of a hard lesson because she doesn't understand why she needs to baptized again if she was in another Christ church. So we explained the priesthood as much as we could but she didn't accept it. So</span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1557331651" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 15pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Tuesday</span></span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">we had Minamimoto Shimai come and help us out. We taught the whole restoration and about the priesthood and it was good but we just aren't exactly sure what to do because she still tells us she doesn't understand so we are studying and trying to do all we can to help her understand and I think next week we are having a dinner at Minamimoto Shimai's house and having a lesson as well. But it has been a hard one to teach. </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">We also had exchanges this week. We went to the sisters area this time and actually had all the sisters of the zone come to that area and just find all day because they need new investigators really bad. But we saw less of miracles. My day was a little long and different because we met with one of their Spanish speaking investigators that is in the area next door because Lockett Shimai studied Spanish for 7 years so she helps teach her. I wish I could say I remember my Spanish and helped but I literally forgot it all and listened and felt the spirit. But it was cool to see her be in her comfort zone because she is still a new missionary and struggling with Japanese. But felt like I was in Bry's mission haha fun new experience for sure. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15pt;">We got to meet with Kyoko San <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1557331652" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Wednesday</span></span> and we had Oogaki Shimai come. It was a way good lesson. We were able to teach the restoration again and just really focus on the importance of the Book of Mormon and how it is a big difference in our church compared to others. She thought the experience and courage Joseph Smith had was amazing and Oogaki Shimai really shared a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon. It went well and we will meet her again this week as well. </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1557331653" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 15pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">I got the fun opportunity for the first time here in Kawachinagano to speak in church. They asked me to speak on missionary work, of course I would love to do that. So I decided to speak on the role of the spirit in missionary work. It went fine I think.. haha I felt the spirit as I talked and testified of the things which I've learned here and how much the spirit has affected my work. </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">And for my favorite thing to talk about right now, Kim and her growth. Her heart is so open now and willing to listen and study well. We felt she needed the Plan of Salvation. So we planned to teach it very simply knowing she will over think things. Well as we simply teach Adam and Eve and then just try and move on she asks why we needed a fall, why couldn't we just have been like we were in the spirit world with god and we told her the simple answer of we needed to obtain a body to learn and grow but she just wants an exact clear answer. So next time we met we just told her we don't know all things and that is where the faith will have to come in. And she actually accepted it well and even talked more about baptism and how she wanted to go to the celestial kingdom. We are hoping she'll accept the date we give her this next lesson and we can help her prepare faster to receive baptism. I just love her so much and she means so much to me. She cries sometimes because I'm going home and so then we both end up crying together. I'm so grateful to be a part of her growth experience. She'll get there soon. </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Last is my thought of the week. It's a quote from the missionary devotional we watched that I just loved. </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">"Living the gospel isn't easy but understanding the gospel is." -Elder Anderson </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">I just loved that, it's not easy in this big world to live the standards we have but learning and understand it is which then makes living it easier. I know that sometimes we feel we don't understand, well at least I do but it is simple. God doesn't want it to be a mystery or make it hard. He loves us and always remember it's simple to understand and I promise you it'll get easier to live. The world is crazy now so really stay close to the simplicity of the gospel. I know it's true and I love it with all my heart. Study it simply this week. It's true and the best thing ever. Love you and miss you all! Until next week. #RELY #SIMPLE</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 15pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Lovely People!</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 15pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How are you? How is your long weekend going? I hope everyone is warm, healthy, and working on those New Years resolutions little by little, day by day, and learning lots. Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY CUTE AND FAVORITE OLDER SISTER BROOKIE! Have a good day, thanks for your love, example, and strong testimony. Hope you are treated the way you deserve. Love you lots! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 15pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This week not a lot of time because right now as I write this I am on a train going to Kyoto to go to a famous ring place that every missionary in our mission has a ring with our mission theme on it. So here we go! I am so excited! </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Okay well I know I've been saying this a lot lately but this week was the best and filled with the spirit so much! Where to begin? </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">So <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1541106503" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Monday</span></span> night we were able to meet with Riona Chan the girl we met on the street a few weeks ago. She's 14 loves soccer and just loves how she feels when she's around us. (Thank you Spirit) We went to dinner together and we were able to simply teach her about who god is and what he does for us and how we can communicate with him. She just kept saying </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">凄い</span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> (sugoi) which is like amazing or unreal. She said she wanted to learn more and be able to talk to God. We also shared experiences about when we asked god if he loved us and the amazing feeling we have felt before. She said she would try and pray to feel that. We get a text that night way late and she says I prayed but I didn't receive anything yet but I will pray till I know. We were so happy and we know the spirit touched her heart and now she's acting on her own. </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">This week our Relief Society had a New Years goal setting Party. We had a lesson on how to set goals and then ate my favorite winter food called nabe. (It's a big veggie soup) It was so good because we had Kyoko San come and a member brought a friend with them who will are going to try and meet with her again and see how her interest is. I was able to talk to Kyoko a little as we ate and it was so good. She kept talking about the joy that is always here. So she asked me the way most of us have that and I was felt that she needed to hear about prayer. So I testified of prayer and how much joy I feel then. For some reason it just clicked today. She says maybe I should better and really pray. So I challenged her to do so. The next day I text her to follow up and she said I prayed. So I asked how it was and she said good I felt so warm but I don't know if that's me or god. So I wrote her a simple email and said I know that is God, it's his love. And she was amazed and made an appointment to meet with her</span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1541106504" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 15pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Wednesday</span></span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">. It was a miracle. </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1541106505" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 15pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Next Friday</span></span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">we had Zone Training Meeting and boy was it a good one. We had the opportunity to train and it was a good one. We trained on mindset. President Welch gave us a new vision until he finishes his mission. Every Zone has a baptism every week the last month he is here. So we are working up to that from here on out. So we wanted to get the missionaries mind set on baptism and accomplishing that. So we did a minute to win it game and talked about the mindset that they needed to accomplish that game. It was a blast but then it also turned into an amazing discussion and we talked about the minder Christ had as well and it went so awesome. I'll share more about that in my thought of the week. </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">This week as well we had Stake Conference in Sakai. So we went a day early and had exchanges with Sakai Sisters. Which is Pickering Shimai our companion when we were a three some and her new trainee. I had the opportunity to go with Pickering Shimai and boy was it fun! Just like old times plus I kind of know the area so it just felt like a normal day. We saw so many miracles. We met a PI of theirs and she ended up wanting to do the half English and half religion program which was a huge blessing cause we didn't plan on visiting her but Pickering Shimai felt like we should so we stopped by into her cafe and as we walked in a guy was there and we didn't know how to talk to her about the gospel etc and like 3 minutes in he leaves and no one came in the whole 45 minutes we were there. It was a miracle. Then leaving her cafe going to visit a LA we see this cute high school girl and wanted to talk to her so we stop. And she loves studying the Bible and she said she believes god created us and the world. We talked about god loving us and listening to all our prayers. We can receive help in school and in all things we desire for help. She thought that was way cool and gave us her number so we can meet again. It was a good exchange. Then Stake Conference Christopher the guy from my home town came as well as three less actives we invited. It was so good and we got to see President and Sister Welch which is always the best.</span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Last and greatest miracle. So we had an appointment with Kim</span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1541106506" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 15pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Thursday</span></span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">, we weren't sure how it was going to go because when she got back from Korea she was way hard hearted again and was like I want to learn English and you want to talk about church so let's compromise type of thing and it broke my heart. So we meet at the church for the first time</span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1541106507" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 15pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">. We started off with English study, which we just talk in English. Then we started the church study. We just wanted to talk about faith and help her understand the basic of believing. It was the most spirit filled lesson, we all cried and just felt the spirit so strong. She was telling us how she always feels alone no matter what but she feels good with us and so I shared the story of grandpa smith and how we are never alone because we have god and Christ. The spirit just touched my heart and I felt the love of God and I felt Grandpa Wally helping me as well teach this lesson. And Kim started to cry as we asked her to say the prayer and she finally agreed and it was the most heart felt prayer I've ever heard. She had faith and trusted god was listening. Then she asked to meet again</span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1541106508" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 15pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Friday</span></span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">so when we got back from ZTM we met and only had about 45 minutes so we shared a simple lesson on the spirit. It was good she was able to understand what kind of feelings that the spirit gives us. And we asked her to pray and ask god if he loves her and to take a few seconds and ponder after. So</span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1541106509" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 15pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">we get a call from her</span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1541106510" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 15pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">during the Koukan and she said can we please meet today and we couldn't so she said</span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1541106511" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 15pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">when you're back so we made that appointment. Wow three times this week. So</span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1541106512" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 15pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">she comes to the church at four and she just goes straight into church talk. She asked about temples and commandments so we talked about those but then she said starts to tear up and she says "sisters I took time and prayed, then I pondered for even longer than a few seconds. I pondered longer and more than I ever have before. And I felt the greatest peace and comfort I've ever felt. Just like Smith Shimai's grandpa, I want to never feel alone." We were all brought to tears, and I just felt god telling me he has prepared her for us at this time. So we talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ and that's how we can get that never alone feeling and she said she wants it and so we are meeting again</span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1541106513" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 15pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Wednesday</span></span><span style="font-size: 15pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 15pt;">and hopefully give her a date for baptism. God is so good. She is so ready and changed through the spirit. I'm so excited to see this change and growth in her. The spirit is our best friend here and I know he is always there for us. Miracles are the best. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 15pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Last my thought, it's from Moroni <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1541106514" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">7:33</span></span>. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 15pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">"And Christ hath said: If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me." But I changed the word faith to mindset and we also related the Christ-like Attribute section to it as well. Through strengthening those attributes we will have that mindset to do whatsoever he needs us to do. It made me realize how HUGE mindset is in life. But my challenge to you today is to get a PMG and go to the last page and it has an activity to know what we need to improve. Please do it and apply one you need to improve and I promise you it'll strengthen the way we look at things and it'll make our lives happy no matter what we are going through. I know this is true. I love Christ and becoming like him is a journey but it's a fun one. I love you all and miss you lots! Keep being you. #MINDSET #RELY</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: inherit;">January 16, 2017</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: .SF UI Text;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: inherit;">Hello Family and Friends! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: inherit;">How are you? Hope all is well and it's not too cold over there in America like it is here. It's been so cold and so windy but it's okay, the work always is going great. This week is my amazing brother Tanners birthday. Wow, you're so young still. Happy Birthday on Thursday T! I love ya and miss you, thanks for all you do for me. Hope you get lots of great things. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #454545;">So this week was a busy and kind of a hard week. We got a unexpected text Sunday night that said our MLC meeting will start Monday night so we headed to Kobe after emailing and had a great MLC and learned about our new Eikaiwa class. It's going to be so great and help us find new people better there. I'm excited then Tuesday MLC we had President Whiting of the Asia Area Seventy come because he was doing a mission tour at our mission. It was such an amazing meeting. He asked us what we were doing well here and what we weren't and we discussed what we can improve and it was such a great discussion with all the leaders of our mission and a seventy. Then he came Thursday and it was all the missionaries. He just said ask questions so some of us did and he just taught through the spirit and I received so much revelation and help for those we are meeting with. I really learned that if we listen to the thoughts we have more than the words that are said then the spirit will teach us what we need to know. </span><span style="color: #454545;">So this week we decided we were going to clean out the area book and find old PIs and contact them and hope that we can see miracles and blessings from that. Well I saw this name and it was Karen and we had her number so I felt like we should contact her. So I gave it a call, and she answered. I was able to talk to her about god and she remembered meeting the missionaries but lost contact so we taught her about the basic of our church and she said She wanted to try and come to church. Wow!! We were so pumped and hopefully meet with her too. </span><span style="color: #454545;">So one of our members gave us some mochi (the sticky rice I hit last week) and said to take it to her friend who took the lessons awhile ago so we did right when we got back from Kobe. Well god is the best, right when we got there, our member was there doing an activity with her so we were able to have a member present lesson and agreed to take the lesson once February started. Yay! So small but timing was just perfect and now that Referral will be a progressing investigator soon. Working with members is always the best way to see the work grow. </span><span style="color: #454545;">Sunday we had an old investigator just walk into sacrament and we were shocked. She is a 85 year old grandma who is so cute and comes to Eikaiwa but we didn't think she had much interest last transfer so we dropped her and then she came to church and said she wanted to meet weekly for an hour to our message. Wow, so we will see how that goes, Minamimoto Shimai (recent return couple missionary) agreed to teach with us so we are excited and hope it goes well. God is great always. </span><span style="color: #454545;">But this week we were gone a lot so it was a little hard in the work category but god still provided. I'm glad he knows and puts miracles in our life even when sometimes we fall short. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #454545;">Last is my thought of the week that I learned from President Whiting in the big missionary meeting. So he said a quote from an old Prophet I can't remember who sorry but it said "The only time homes fail is if we give up." And after he shared that President Welch got up to talk and was just crying and shared an experience with one of children where they made the wrong choice but he said to them I hope you know you can do what you want but we as your parents will never give up. And it just made me think of our father in Heaven and savior who never give up. We can change and improve daily I matter how low we get. </span>Also I thought of my amazing parents who never gave up on me. I'm not a perfect child and I'm sure not always the easiest but they never gave up and they are a HUGE reason why I'm here. So please in your homes, whether you be the parents, the kids, or extended family, don't give up on anyone. God doesn't so why should we? I know God loves all of you and knows you so keep going. I love you all and miss you all! Have a great week. #RELY #NEVERGIVEUP</span></div>

She was so cute and she thought </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">it was so cool we pray and we can feel gods love through it. As the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">elders showed up and we are getting ready to leave she looks at us and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">just has this smile and special glow to her and she said "you guys are </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">nice and special, I don't want to leave." Haha we were like what? Ha </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">so we got her number and we will meet her again hopefully this week.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_243224788" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"> we had exchanges which was awesome.

I went with the new one who just got here and it </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">was a blast and so spirit filled. She had been having a hard time with </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">emergency transferring. So we had some time to talk during dinner and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">I was able to use an email my amazing brother Landon sent me a while </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">back (THANK YOU) and she just had this huge light come and we went and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">worked and met lots of awesome people and saw lots of great work come. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">So </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_243224789" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Wednesday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"> we had a lesson with Kyoko but before her we went to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">lunch with a member and she dropped us off at the church and asked to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">come to the lesson so she came and the lesson didn't go as good as we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">hoped, Kyoko also said she can't get baptized so that hurt and we just </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">didn't know what to do. But we have another part that relates to this </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">which was a miracle. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">So we get a call from the member who referred Kyoko San to us on </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Friday and she said can you meet now and so went and met her. She was </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">way worried about Kyoko because the day before we had that lesson </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Kyoko had talked about joining the church but then she heard she said </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">she wouldn't be baptized. So we talked a lot about her and were able </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">to figure it out and she is going to talk to her so we can figure out </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">how this will work. But it brought so much peace to me because I love </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Kyoko San so much and just want her to be happy.

They shared such strong testimonies and we taught the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Plan of Salvation. She loved how we get perfect bodies and will meet </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">our families again because right now her husband is sick and she said </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">I want to meet him again in his normal state. It was such a spirit </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">filled moment.

It was such a great time filled with so </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">much love, advice, and the spirit. I love that man so much, he has </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">changed my life and it's been a HUGE blessing to work with him here. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Okay the last most amazing miracle of all. So a while ago I talked </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">about an American who came to our ward and his non member wife. Well </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">they haven't come since and we have been praying hard to see a miracle and</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"> have them come.

THOSE TWO! And </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">during testimony meeting he got up and bore his testimony in Japanese. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">It was so amazing. So went and talked to him after and wow he looked </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">so different and seemed happier. So we got talking to him with the new </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Elders and he told us of his experience he had this past two weeks of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">receiving a testimony for sure that god is there and Christ lives and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">he will never ever go back to not attending church. And he wants his </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">wife to learn and all this amazing stuff. We are over joyed and can't </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">wait to work with them. I know God loves us and hears our prayers even </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">if it doesn't take time. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Last a short quote of the week. "As we reflect on the value of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">resolving to do better, let us determine to discipline ourselves to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">carefully select the resolutions we make, to consider the purpose for </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">making them, and finally, to make commitments for keeping them and not </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">letting any obstacle stop us. Let us remind ourselves at the beginning </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">of each day that we can keep a resolution just for that day. As we do </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">this it gets easier and easier until it becomes a habit.” -President</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Nielsen I loved this because let's all be honest, we make goals and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">after a few weeks they die. But everyday if we just re make that goal </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">then it will little by little become a habit. And I loved relating </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">that to the atonement. We can start fresh daily with our goals because </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">of the Savior.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Hello Everyone,</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Can you believe it's 2017? That is insane. 2016 was the greatest year </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">ever. Being a missionary for that whole year was oh too good! Hope you </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">had a great year of 2016 and now it's time to improve, set new goals,</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">and have a wonderful year of 2017! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">So this week, I'll be honest it's a blur ha we were so busy and we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">finished the three some and two area stuff so it's been crazy. But we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">saw lots of miracles and the hand of God helping us even though we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">were in and out of our area. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">First fun thing of the week. We went to visit a LA in our ward who I</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">have never met but heard about her because she apparently has over 200 </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">birds in her house. So we went, knocked, and she was home! She invited </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">us in to the entrance of her house and there it was, a room full of</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">different kind of birds. We talked about it, she has 226 birds. She </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">let us hold one that talks. It was a crazy weird experience for sure. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Haha oh the things you'll see in Japan! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">So Same day we were in my area and we were going back to the apartment </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">for dinner and I saw this girl and a thought came to my head, she's </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">cute, talk to her. So pushed my breaks and just said hello and asked </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">how she was then she was way sweet and willing to talk so we</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">introduced ourselves and we teach English and about Christ. She knew </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">about the atonement of Jesus Christ which was awesome so we talked </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">about eternal families and asked her if she would want to meet someone</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">after death who would it be? And she got tears in her eyes and said my </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">grandma who I haven't met. And the spirit just hit her and us and we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">testified of Christ and his atonement so we can have eternal life. We </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">made a next appointment with her and boy it was the coolest and most </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">spirit filled street contact I've ever had. The spirit is so simple </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">and I love it. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Then </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_975149655" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"> we had the opportunity to meet with Kyoko San. First </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">time since Kawamura Shimai left. We talked a lot about prayer, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">receiving answers, and also how much we can change and she also asked </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">why it's always a happy atmosphere here and I said what do you think </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">and she said Christ? And it was amazing. Spirit hit us all then we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">testified of Christ and how He can bring us happiness all the time.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">She's growing a lot and hopefully next time we can get her to commit </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">to a date. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Then </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_975149656" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"> we went and visited Fukuda San a PI who is a Christian </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">old grandma and seems to have awesome potential.

WHAT? What does that </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">mean? Ha we were so confused and sad.

I tried </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">avoiding the dried up fish but my companion made me try them so I did. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Not good ha</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Oh and last great experience we had. So we were biking to go visit a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">LA when I saw this lady on the side of the street, so I thought I'll </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">talk to her. And we got talking about families, god, and church, she </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">has never been but didn't really care. So we kept testifying of God </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">and the love we feel at church and at the end of our conversation she </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">says to us I want to try and come to your church. Wow! That was so </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">cool and strengthened my testimony of the spirit. I love the spirit </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">and how much it can change hearts. It was a wonderful week of street </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">contacts, new year, and love. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Last is the thought of the week. It's from 1 Nephi </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_975149658" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">21:11</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"> and it says </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">"11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">exalted." I loved that this week, my companion who I am now split</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">apart from shared this with me and she said how is it that he makes </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">our mountains or trials have a way and the way to do so he makes tout </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">exalted. And when she said that it just made me think how amazing God </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">is to give us a path to overcome all things. He is so loving and kind. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">I love our Father in Heaven.

Last transfer has begun..<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">December 26, 2016</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Hello Family and Friends,</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Well it was amazing to see you today! It's crazy that next time I hear </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">you it'll be in person. Crazy stuff but I'm so glad I got to see your </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">faces and sounds like all is happy and well. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Well since I talked sorry it won't be as long but I will share a few </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">experiences we've had. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">So Tuesday in Kawachinagano we met Nishio San our investigator who had </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">a date awhile ago but she had some worries and doubts so we didn't </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">meet her for awhile but she called and wanted to meet so we did. And </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">she said she just hasn't got an answer but she wants too. So we</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">focused a lot on how she can know that these lessons are for her if </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">she really wants to know, prays, and tries to receive and listen to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">the answers. We followed up and she prayed but she said there is no </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">answers so we are meeting her today and focusing on the spirit. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">So then the other miracles were all in Sakai. So Monday night we</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">thought we should go visit this LA, on the way there we stopped these </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">3 high school girls and talked to them about eikaiwa but then we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">talked to them about the meaning of Christmas. One of the girls that </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">we asked what they knew about Christ and she said I know he died on a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">cross so we can over come hard things. We were all shocked and so we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">got to testify of Christ and she said she wanted to learn more about </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">the details of the atonement. It was great and we got her number and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">will meet with her. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Then Tuesday we went back to my area and we had our Eikaiwa Christmas </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">party. Basically the whole time they just kept saying and the sisters</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">will sing this for us. And it turned into a sister missionaries </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">concert. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Wednesday in Sakai we had Eikaiwa as well. After Eikaiwa this adorable </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">girl came to the class I taught I talked to her after and she told me </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">how she found out about our class and then she just looks at my name </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">tag and says also I have interest in Christ. Wow! So we got her number </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">and will hopefully meet with her soon. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Friday we had our party here in Sakai and members brought so many </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">friends and we were talking to non member people all night and members </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">were like talk to my friend, talk to this person. It was crazy but </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">such a good opportunity. It's been a busy crazy two weeks but miracles</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">all day. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Last is my thought of the week. So I was reading the talks from the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Christmas Devotional and I was reading Elder Craig C. Christiansen </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">talk and in it it said "There would be no Christmas if there had not </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">been Easter. The babe Jesus of Bethlehem would be but another baby </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">without the redeeming Christ of Gethsemane and Calvary, and the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">triumphant fact of the Resurrection.” And it really made me realize </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">how important the resurrection is. If we didn't have that then </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Christmas would be not a day so never forget that importance of the</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">atonement. I know Christ performed the atonement for us so that we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">have a reason to be here in this life and I am grateful for this </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">atonement. I love to use it daily and I'm forever grateful for it. I </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">love you and yes it's short but know I'm praying for you and miss you </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">lots!</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">スミス姉妹 Smith Shimai</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Merry Christmas Family and Friends! </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How was your week? Hope it was a good week and preparing for Christmas is going well but also we are always remembering the true meaning of the season. Well this week as well, it's crew boys birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CREW! I can't believe how big you've gotten and how fast you're growing up. Hope it's a good fun day. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Okay well, lets begin this INSANE week. So the group who came one transfer before went home two weeks early so the mission was just crazy. And Tuesday night in the pouring rain we get a call from Kyoto Zone Leaders and my lovely adorable cute Japanese companion Kawamura Shimai is leaving me to go to Kyoto. We were pretty sad about that and shocked. So we headed to Eikaiwa and taught then headed back and got packed away. Wednesday we said bye to people and the ward was shocked and so sad. Then I get another call and find out my new companion Manwill Shimai who was a BYU soccer player before she came here. So we get along so well but then I get a call again and one of the sisters we are over, her companion went home two weeks early with the group that went home so she's waiting for her new companion who comes the 29th and so we have a three some for 2 weeks and guess what else, TWO areas. It's insane.. lots of traveling the next two weeks and it's stressful. But we are working and god is helping us a lot.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So this week we went and visited Kim. It was amazing. We sat down had a good solid lesson about our Savior and I invited her to baptized on December 28 but her husband doesn't like religion so she is nervous to agree but she said "of course I will be baptized but I want to know first." But the spirit was so strong that it could not be denied. I know God lead and guided us as we had faith and testified of this gospel. So we are trying to meet with her soon and hopefully that answer comes soon and we can continue to teach her. She is also planning to come to church Sunday so we are excited.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Friday the recent return missionary couple offered to go work with us and visit lots of less active and investigators who live way far in their car. It was amazing. We met everyone we went to almost. And the light that we were able to see in people when we shared the Christmas video and testified of Christ. Especially when of the less actives, she just lit up that we took the time to drive this far and share this message with her and bring her a little treat from the ward. Working work members softens hearts, I know that is true. It built my spirit up and I hope the members as well. </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">So Sunday we get to church and a member comes up to me and asked if I heard? And I said what? I don't know if you remember we but a brother in our ward referred his mom to us and we sang to her last week. Well turns out, she passed away. My heart broke, the brother was so excited to have her learn and be baptized and I just had come to love her so much! So that was hard to hear but it's awesome to know she is there getting taught and will accept it now. </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Sunday we had our ward Christmas Fireside. It was amazing. We had members bring friends so we received four referrals. It was so good! We had a open house of church, one room was about Christ, one was about missionaries and the BOM and then families. It was so cool and then they did a spiritual musical performance. It was so amazing and the spirit was so strong. I know every person felt or Christ's love and joy of Christmas. Christmas has been such a good time to be a missionary here in Kawachinagano. The ward members are sharing the gospel with so many friends and are just so excited to bring this joy to them. Christmas is a perfect to serve people but also bring the joy of the gospel to others that don't have it and that's what our members are doing. So please, serve but also take that opportunity to share it and bring others unto Christ.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Okay my thought of the week comes from a talk a member gave in sacrament. They talked about Christmas and the Joy in it. Then they said an acronym to Joy. J is Jesus, O is Others, and Y is Yourself. And that is the perfect thing of Christmas. With Jesus we serve others and then Jesus, others, and yourself receives JOY. I just love that because it's so true. With Christ as we help others the joy just comes naturally. Just as President Welch always says "Naturally we are happy from sharing the gospel" and I know that is true. I've never felt so much my in my life then these past 17 months. I love it so much so please take advantage of this special season and bring the joy to the world. Love you all so much and hope you have a Merry Christmas! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">How are you all? Just loving the spirit of Christmas and the joy it brings into our lives? I know I am</span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Well this week was insanely busy with traveling, meetings, and lots of stuff. But it was a good week as well. </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">With meetings this week, we had MLC Tuesday in Kobe, Zone Conference with President and Sister Welch Wednesday in Wakayama, then Zone Training Meeting Friday in Wakayama. It was so busy and had the opportunity to train twice. Which is always scary but a way good learning experience. We trained about love the first time then the second about joy. They both went way well and I learned so much from studying and preparing for it. </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Thursday we were able to meet with Kim and finally she allowed us to bring a member with us because her Japanese test was over. We had Suzuki Shimai come with us and it was amazing. She brought a cake for Kim and was just so awesome to her, showing love, testifying, and became great friends. We were able to have a good lesson more focused on the gospel not studying languages which was good. Suzuki Shimai talked about her conversion story and it was a lot like Kim right now so they both just clicked well. She still has her doubts and questions but she is more open and hopefully having Suzuki Shimai as a friend as well will help. Boy does Kim have a special place in my heart and I hope we can help her as much as we can. </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">The same day, Thursday we had the opportunity to go caroling at an old folks place. It was so much fun and they loved it when we sang in English. We were able to bring joy to them and also share the Light the World video which was way great. They all were so surprised about this person Christ who was born and we are trying to become like him. And invited them all to the Christmas party at our church and hope it made an impression on them. </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Then we also had a lesson with Kyoko San on Friday before the Relief Society Christmas Party. We also had Shino Shimai come and participate in it. It was seriously such a great perfect spirit filled lesson. We were able to read about baptism and why we receive it and how it works etc. and the member gave such a strong powerful testimony of her day of receiving baptism and how much it has changed her life. Then we invited her to be baptized, she unfortunately said no she can't but I will never forget that lesson and how close the spirit was to us and how it was testifying to her it was true. But then it was cool, so Sunday we went caroling with the ward and thus illumination place and we didn't even tell Kyoko San but we look out to the crowd and there she is. Wow! After I go talk to her and she said "this is fate! I had no idea you were singing here." And I told her god knows her and wanted her to meet us and feel of the spirit. She said yeah I guess so. She knows it just gotta get that to completely stick. But I know God knows her and wanted her to feel of the spirit of Christmas as we sang those Hymns about Christ.</span><span style="font-size: 17pt;"> Sunday we also had an awesome opportunity to go visit a brother in our wards mom who is our investigator but she was in the hospital for awhile and we hadn't met her in a long time but she loves singing so we went and sang her Christmas songs with 6 members and it was so neat. Last we sang silent night in English because she said she loves it in English and as we end we tell her thank you and she tears up and said "I've been wanting to sing that, thank you." And it just brought so much warmth to my heart. The Christmas Spirit can do wonders for anyone. Then she looks at me and said "I can speak good English right?" (In English she said that ha) and I just loved and said yes. She's like 84 and just amazing. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Last is the thought of the week. So at MLC we talked about remember. President Welch really wants us to look back on things we've learned this year and use it or not use the things that didn't work and continue to grow. Alma <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_716023475" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">5:26</span></span> says "</span>Behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?”</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We have all learned so much this past year and can really grow from those things we have felt and experienced. I want to challenge you all to take some time, ponder what you've learned and experienced this year and take that and see what you can apply in order to become more like our Savior Jesus Christ. I've been trying to look back and it's been a great year that I've learned so much that I know I can apply in order to grow and improve. Especially with our Saviors help and atonement we can improve and change so much. I love this gospel and the knowledge we have to know we can improve and change daily because of Him. I love you all and miss you! Have a great week! #RELY #REMEMBER</span></div>

<div style="direction: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Family and Loved Ones! </span></div>
<div style="direction: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">How are you this week? Sounds like all is well, busy of course in the Christmas time but also the best time of the year right? </span></div>
<div style="direction: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well this week was so busy and it just gets busier from here on out being a missionary at Christmas time. But this week we had two exchanges, wow that was insane ha but oh it was so fun! I learned a lot. First I went with Pickering Shimai, she's from Utah and I've actually played against her in soccer before the mission so that was fun to talk about. But she is an awesome missionary and just has so much joy. We worked so well together and saw lots of miracles. We found a. Ew young mom with using the new Christmas video. She said she had never thought about Christmas before but she wants to think and learn more about it. We were so excited and just felt the power of Christmas. Then we had a funny lesson with a member. It's a Philippine wife and a Japanese husband. They are like 68-73 or so anyway we showed the Christmas video and asked what they thought then the brother goes "smith shimai you go home next transfer, i have advice for ya, do not lose the light you have now and go to the temple often." And then went just smiled. Well okay, I will do that sir it was fun! Love Pickering Shimai. Then next I was able to serve with Gusmen Shimai. She's from Hawaii and has so much love. We did some finding and had some great miracles as well as working with members and visited LA. It was just two good days of exchanges for sure. Next was Thursday, SERVICE DAY! We had the day all dedicated to service, we were able to teach Japanese to our Korean investigator Kim, teach English to kids, clean up parks with members, and cooked dinner for a young mom in our ward. It was so fun! Just all day looking for service and found it. Spirit of Christmas is here with serving others often. Saturday was a great miracle as well. We have this young mom who we met a month or so ago and she hasn't been home when we went but we went this week and she was home! She's has the cutest little boy who is just like Archie! Every time I see him, Archie pops in my head ha he's adorable. But anyway, we showed her the Christmas video and testified of families and helping our families during this time she loved it and right as we finished her husband came home which was a miracle because he always comes home around <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_293767246" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">7:30</span></span> and it was 5. And we were able to introduce ourselves and they said they wanted to try and come to church as a family and we could come back. YAY! Young families, we are so excited.</span></div>
<div style="direction: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sunday as well was great. We invited so many investigators to church and not one came we were crushed then random two people walk into during sacrament ones an American guy and a Japanese girl. So we talk to them after, he's from St. George. Christopher Reese, his dad owns Reese and Jensen Law he said he went to Pine View, way small ward ha but turns out his wife is not a member, they met at the U and just moved to Japan and he's been LA forever but felt they should come to church. So we are hoping to start teaching her and helping him come back as well. It was such a miracle and we just felt gods love for us right then. But also the Minamimoto Couple from our ward returned home from their mission and it was just so neat to hear their stories. As well the ward was so excited about them coming home and like everyone bore their testimony about the simple things of the gospel and wanting to be a better ward missionary and it was just an amazing testimony meeting and my faith grew like 10x Sunday. I love this work and this place!</span></div>
<div style="direction: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My thought is about the Light the World video. I'm sure you've all seen it and have heard lots about it but I just want to testify of it for my thought. I know that as we do our best to be like our Savior then we will receive so many blessings. Christ is the perfect example, yes of course we aren't perfect but we have his atoning power to try and help those around us no matter who they are or what their circumstances are. I've already seen it bless people here and that calendar count down as well has been a huge blessing here in the work so please do that! Serve someone daily, love someone, and be the light of Christ in this world. I promise you will be blessed. This time of year is so special so please don't forget why we have it. I love Christmas and my Savior. He lives and set a perfect example for us to follow and become like Him. He's my best friend and He loves you. I love you and miss you too! And hope this week is a good one and I'm praying for you all. #RELY #LIGHTTHEWORLD</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">November 28, 2016</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; direction: inherit; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello loved ones of America,</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I hope you had a great thanksgiving and I'm sorry there was a flu bug going around. But I hope everyone is feeling better and we are healthy and getting ready for the crazy Christmas season. But it shouldn't be too crazy cause it's Christ day. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well this week was amazing! So many miracles. Where to begin?</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well we had a great opportunity to go hiking with some members and their non-member friend. It was so pretty and a wonderful missionary opportunity. So our hike was to pick Kaki or in English persimmon. I've never seen them in America so I don't know but they are delicious and way famous here. But so many other people were there as well. We met this girl named Andrea from Singapore and she was so cute and awesome. She live in Wakayama where the other sisters are so we are referring her to them but she was so nice and was interested in what we do. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Next Kyoko San. So we gave her questions of the soul and marked all the scriptures for her last lesson and she was a little hesitant if she would read them or not but we encouraged and testified and prayed. Well Friday on the way to district Meeting we get a call and she says sisters I read it all and I want to meet again soon! Wow, that was a huge miracle and she is now making so much progress. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then that same day we met with Kim the one from Korea. So we helped her study for her test then we did our spiritual message. As we shared with her prayer and answer she said sisters I know I need religion in my life and so far all I have is an amazing image of the Mormon church so when this test is over I really want to study and try and come to church. Wow what?! Two weeks ago she was like not making appointments etc. now she's just ready, Heavenly Father knows his children. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And Saturday was just the best! So we had a fun opportunity to play soccer with the LA grandson who is our investigator. It was so fun and boy have I missed soccer. But the sad thing is I woke up SO sore ha but he was so happy and we had a blast then his grandma made us tacos! Yes, first time in a year ha but anyway after that we had some time before we had another appointment so we decided to go knocking. Well we knocked on a few, no answer so we felt okay lets go but then I felt this one house we should knock. So we did, and well this cute grandma came out holding a baby and she looks so young I thought she was the mom but we talked to her about families and how our church focuses so much on families and she loved it and said she wanted to try to come to church. She also said we can come back next week same time. We are so excited, her name is Noriko and I love the spirit. Then next after our appointment another spirit guided moment. <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">So we planned to go visit this high school investigator who hasn't been replying because of tests but we both were worried we would be bugging her or something so we were hesitant. So I said let's pray, we prayed, and I was still not sure. Then Kawamura Shimai said smith shimai decides. And so I don't know where it came from but I said let's go. And before I felt we shouldn't go. And we went, and she was home, we met her and we were able to make a next appointment, I love the spirit. Saturday really strengthened my testimony of the spirit, I just love it.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Last the thought of the week, it's from a talked called Love of Christ in 1992 General Conference. It says "What is love of Christ? 1. </span>Love for Christ 2. Love from Christ 3. Love like Christ." Then under the section Love for Christ it says, "First, love for Christ. This concept proclaims Jesus as the object of our love, and our lives should be an external expression of our gratitude for him. Sometimes that is difficult to do. I once visited a high priests group meeting where an older brother taught us. He noted that “as a people we often pray, ‘We thank thee for all the blessings we enjoy.’ But what about the blessings we don’t enjoy? It can be very hard to be thankful for those.” This dear man had just experienced his first Christmas without his sweetheart in more than fifty years. It is difficult to be grateful to the Lord under circumstances we don’t enjoy." I just loved this, I've been really focusing on being grateful for my hard times and not always happiest times. So please this week, take some time and pray and thank god for the blessings we don't always enjoy. I promise he will bless you and you'll feel more joy with all blessings whether good or bad. And of course go read it as well. It's amazing. I love my Father in Heaven. He's blessed me with so much. Never forget that. Love and miss you all! #RELY #BLESSINGS </span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I hope the weather is nice there and you are all enjoying the break for thanksgiving. What an awesome Holiday right? I mean we could make a list that could wrap around the world with the things we are grateful for. I love gratitude, it's such a good feeling to just have thanks for all things. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well this week was a good first week of 11th transfer for me. Me and my companion stayed here in Kawachinagano. This is now 3 together, that's so long ha but she is great so it'll be all good! We had a good week and are excited for this transfer, last transfer to accomplish the goal of seeing a baptism before the end of the year so here we go! Work time it is. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This week we saw lots of miracles and lots of things to be grateful for. So first I'm not sure if I have talked about Brother Kubotas mom or not but he referred his mom to us. She's about 82 and just so sweet. We've met with her about 3 times now. She loves how much her son has changed from joining our church and he's taught her a little bit so she's very open but just old. So anyway, she has a lot of the same ideas our church does with things so it's awesome to just talk to her about our beliefs and she usually goes "I think the same way" which is great. So we went Tuesday with some members cause she lives SO far ha and we got there and she was not very happy or cheerful. We started to talk to her and she wanted to sing Joy to the World with me in English cause she loves it so we sang together and all the sudden she just brightens up. We then decided to do some more singing to keep her spirit up, so we introduced I am a Child of God. First in Japanese then the member said smith shimai in English now. So I sang a solo ha but as I sang I just felt the spirit tell me that god loves her and is aware of her. It was such a cool experience. After we talked about how she became a lot happier and she said I know, singing just builds me up. It was just a good experience. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So we always go visiting teaching with some members and there is one LA they visit that doesn't want to see missionaries so while they visit her we go find people. Well we found this young mom a while back but she hasn't been home but we decided to go see. She wasn't home, so we went knocking but then as we did so I saw the young mom drive home so I told my comp, okay, we are going back, so we did. Well she opened came out and talked to us. She said I saw you on the street and hoped you would come back. Ah, that's music to a missionaries ears. So we talked to her about families and she told us to please come back! We invited her to church but she is going somewhere so she didn't come but we are excited for her and her family. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Another great thing, we had an appointment with a member who lives far so we went by train. After the appointment we wanted to visit a PI but we had no bikes so off we walked. And we couldn't find it, well we saw a LA we have been wanting to visit and so we finally met them and talked to them well at the end we asked if they knew this person, they did and showed us where and we knocked and she was home. She is so awesome and has the same way of thinking as us Mormons do, she said we can come back and we hope all goes well with her. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Also the best, so we have a LA named Tsuruta Shimai we meet with weekly, she has slight depression so that obviously is hard but we have been doing all we can to get her to come to church. This week we went back to the basics, God loves us, and baptism. Well we had a great lesson talking about our baptism day and why we were baptized and then committed her to church. Well she finally came!! It was such a joy! She emailed us after and said sisters thank you, today was amazing! Church power is the best!</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well Kyoko San, a member referral, she told her friend the member that she isn't sure how interest she is this past week and it crushed us. But then today we got a call from her, before we gave her a Book of Mormon with questions of the soul and she said I had time so I went and read some of this, I want to study this with you guys on Wednesday. We both jumped for joy and as soon as that phone call ended we knelt down and prayed for thanks and just knew god was providing these miracles. Pray for her on Wednesday! </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Last is the thought but more of an experience I had. So Sunday we sang in church. It's a Japanese song called I'll find you my friend, and someone translated it to English so we sang the first verse in English and the 2nd in Japanese and I'll share part of it. "Our Savior said please find my lost sheep and teach them and bring them home. I promised my Savior I would find them and teach them the way to go. I'll find you my friend." As I sang this, tears just filled my eyes, I'm here finding that friend who I promised before this life that I would find them. Isn't that amazing? But even as members we promised to find that friend. So please, follow the spirit, find that person you promised to help here and bring them back home. It's such a special wonderful calling. I know we all have a plan and god provides for us to accomplish that plan. He wants us to accomplish the plan be provided so please ask him and seek that revelation to find your friend. I love you and miss you! I'm grateful for you all, have a great thanksgiving! #RELY #YOURFRIEND</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello American Loved Ones! </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How are you all? Hope all is well over there and the gratitude month is going well. Thanksgiving is next week, that's insane. Haha but I'm sure it'll be delicious as always with our family. Also this week, Dutch Boys Birthday! I can't believe it, wow! Happy Birthday Bud! LOVE YOU! You're getting to be such a little kid now in your pictures, hope he has a fun good day. Love you Dutch!</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">This week was an emotional, hard, miracle filled week. First just a fun fact about today, we got to go to Costco! It was amazing!</span><span style="font-size: 17pt;"> I felt like I was back in America again and just was seeing all the yummy foods I like etc. it was a good preparation day. A member took us there and we got to buy some things. It was a good happy afternoon! </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">This week we had a lesson with Kim, it was tiring yet so spirit filled. First, we helped her study for her Japanese test and boy my head hurt cause she is better than me and she can read a lot of the writing here, I can't do as much as her and she kept telling me to read for her and wow it hurt. I tried my best but it had some hard ones. But then we talked about her having the opportunity to pray or not recently and she has been every night before bed. Yay!!</span><span style="font-size: 17pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">But she still feels like she hasn't felt anything, she finally opened up to us about how she knows she felt something special with the old sisters a few years ago once when they prayed but that was it. We tried talking more about the spirit and she can feel that more if she prays, trust god, is baptized etc. and the spirit was there, she just needs to open her heart and feel it again. But what the miracle was that usually when we testify of God or that spirit she felt she brings up a new thing or tries to fight it but this lesson she agreed and just listened. It was amazing! She's feeling it again, we know it. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We also had another miracle, so Saturday we went and visited this PI that we haven't met in a month or so and she wanted to come to church but hasn't so we thought let's go invite her and we went, she came to the door and we talked for awhile and then her husband came and talked. Well at the end, they both agreed to come to church. We were so happy and overjoyed! Then Satan was tough on them, and we waited and waited but they didn't come which was hard but during the day I prayed to feel comfort and god let me know today wasn't the day they needed so I hope next week.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Last but biggest miracle of the week. It strengthens my testimony SO MUCH. So we had an exchange this week but we went to their area cause they need new investigators, I went with Taguchi Shimai and she's been having a hard time this past transfer. She also had some health problems, well we had a lesson with a LA at the church. Well before the LA came Taguchi Shimai said I need to sleep smith shimai, (ah no I want to help haha) but I said okay. So we had the lesson but during that lesson we read 1 Nephi 7 and talked about how leman and Lemuel forget all that god has given them etc and we related it to our baptism and how we are lucky to have the sacrament to help us remember. The spirit was so strong and she agreed to come to church, but the best, after the lesson Taguchi Shimai gives me a hug and says Smith Shimai I'm better! I haven't felt the spirit like that in a month or so, and then we went and worked all day and saw miracles and found new people. But go back a little, I had been praying all week what to do and how we could help her and I prayed hard and god is just the best and knows his children. He helped her feel that he was there and now she's doing amazing! I love my Father in Heaven. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Last is the thought, short but simple. History, or HIS STORY. Yes it adds another S but I heard this at church Sunday and just loved it. Especially with Christmas coming, all the past is important but especially our Savior and his life. His Story is the most important history. I love history and knowing he died for me and I can rely on him when I feel no one understands or no one is there. Isn't that the best? I love my Savior and He lives. Love you and miss you all! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">November 7, 2016</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">Dear Loved Ones,</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">How are you? How was your Halloween? All the costumes are so cute and looked like a blast. I hope it was a good week and now it's a new month and a month of gratitude over there isn't it? Wow we have a lot to be grateful for that is for sure. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">Well this week was so busy, and me and my companion got sick too, it was insane but oh so fun. Plus filled with miracles of course.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">This week we had a chance to go do an exchange in the other sisters area. I went with Gibson Shimai. She is the most loving, joyful person you'll ever meet. I learned so much from her. But while we were finding a investigators house we said hello to this girl and she came over and asked where we were from and said she lived in Canada and studied English and wants to keep studying. So we told her what we do and her mom was actually Christian (so rare) and so we talked to her a little bit and exchanged numbers and she is meeting with those sisters again this week. Yay miracles! </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">We met with Kim again, the one from Korea and we teach her half English and half church. Well this week she just said she wanted to read from the Book of Mormon so we did. We read the introduction together and we explained baptism, the spirit, etc. and she said I've felt something like that before. The sisters she met with a while ago taught her about prayer and they prayed together and it was a warm good feeling she said. We were able to testify that was gods love and the spirit but she's still having a hard time with fully grasping it with all the things in the world. But we know she's felt it before so now we just have to work to bring it back</span><span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: .AppleColorEmojiUI;">.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Another great thing was we went to visit a LA mom who has listened to missionaries before but got bad health and hasn't met with them in awhile so we decided it would be good to visit. So we did, and she opened the door and said I'm busy but I'll let you come in for a minute. So we came in and she says actually, could I ask you a favor if you have time? And we said of course and she needed help packing her husbands clothes away and breaking down the boxes. YAY! Service, that is so rare here. But we did it joyfully and we were able to talk to her more and build a great relationship and even more about church and she has a BOM and such so we are excited to go back soon. But also she gave me a KIMONO. The famous dresses they wear in Japan for special occasions. That's a dream of mine to own it so I was over joyed</span><span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: .AppleColorEmojiUI;">.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">Arimoto Shimai is a member in our ward and she came up to us on Wednesday at ping pong night and said I have a great person from my work who wants to meet you. She loves English and said she would do the half English and half message program. We were like uh what? Okay we will be there. Well Friday we got to meet her. It was amazing. She was a little overwhelmed with the gospel because she has never learned anything about religion but we got numbers and hope to meet with her again soon. We talked a lot about the simple thing of God and he loves us. She had never thought about it before so she wasn't quite sure. But we love the members desire to share the gospel here and it was a blast. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">We had MLC Tuesday which was amazing as always. So then Friday we had Zone Training Meeting, which gives us a chance to train as STL's. So my spiritual message of the week comes from our training actually. So at MLC President and Sister Welch wrote up this formal.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">Me + More = Christ-like and then he said, wrong. Which I was kind of shocked and first. I thought it was a good one but then he wrote up the next one.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">Me + Christ = More </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">And it all made perfect sense. We use our strengths and the atoning power of Christ and more and miracles always come. So we wrote some one Christlike attribute for everyone in the zone and asked them to use that talent a lot these last week of the transfer and see how those miracles come. So I thought I would do the same for all of you. I can't write all of you an attribute but I challenge you and your families to write each other an attribute they have and work on that and focus on using it this week and see what blessings come to your life. I know God and Christ will bless you so much. I've seen them bless me more than I could ever imagine. Always remember that it's us and Christ and the rest comes not all us. Christ is our savior and he lives. He suffered for us so we can become more. I'm so grateful for that knowledge. So please strive to do that this week and I promise you will receive blessings. I love you and miss you all! Have a great week!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">Hello Loved Ones! </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">How are you? Happy Halloween! Tomorrow you have Halloween, how fun! Mom I'm sure bought the king size candy bars and the kids have cute costumes. Can't wait to see! Hope it was a good week and everyone is well and happy. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">Well this week was so busy it was insane ha as you could tell Monday we had zero time and then Tuesday we had our Halloween Party which was a blast. Monday we had a lesson with Kim, a women from Korea who I've talked about once before. It was a deep lesson, she has so many questions and just wants to know but it's been a little difficult to have her just have faith and trust in god. She wants to see proof. But the spirit led us so much in that lesson and I felt the confirmation of God being our father so many times in my heart as I testified of knowing he lives. So we will continue to meet with her and hope her faith grows and she can trust in god. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">At the Halloween Party actually a referral we received from a member, Kyoko San, I talked about her last week and she came to the party. It was so great. And her member friend didn't even come, so that was like a huge miracle. But we had about a total of 90 people at our party so yeah it was crazy but what a good experience it was and the members were so awesome and helped a lot. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">We also had interviews this week. Those are the best but I only have more with the amazing President Welch, how sad that is. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">Friday was Rei Kun, (a less actives grandson I've talked about before I think) birthday. He turned 8 so now we are really pushing to teach him more and more because he loves missionaries, church, praying etc. so we hope we can teach him more. We always teach him and his neighbors <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1372789057" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday's</span></span>. 30 minutes English and 30 minutes of a message. It's been going well. We just teach little by little and all of the kids are really loving the message time and always volunteer to pray and want to come to church etc. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">

It was so busy and so much fun. The first part was like showing things you made, blankets, clothes, paintings, etc. Well while that was going on we had a missionary room that introduced us and what we do and how church works etc. It was great. We had a few members bring some friends as well and we were able to explain about our gospel and it went so good. Then to the performing part, and well I'll just say me and my companion rocked it</span><span style="font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😉" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f609" goomoji="1f609" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f609" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-size: 17pt;"> ha we did the cup song from pitch perfect but to I am a child of God and I hope they call me on a mission.

The referral that came to the Halloween party, Kyoko San, came to church! And stayed the whole time, it was great. The ward was awesome with fellow shipping and did all they could to help her it was awesome. During third hour we had a lesson with her and our relief society president because it was combined and they were talking about Christmas and other things and we wanted to start from the beginning with her so. It went so well. She asked so many questions and was even saying I just have interest and want to know. It was so great. Our relief society president share such a strong testimony and related to her so well and she kept talking about how meeting her friend and now coming here has been a huge blessing and she thinks it's fate. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">We also finally met a less active we have been trying to meet since I got here. Nitta Shimai is her name and her dad just passed away so we wanted to go show her some love and be able to talk a little about the blessing of the Plan of Salvation. Then she said she was in the middle of cleaning up so we asked if we could help and literally we have been wanting to do service all week and she agreed. Yes!<img alt="😆" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f606" goomoji="1f606" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f606" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /> As we cleaned we talked more about her testimony, experiences, etc and she has such strong faith, we are so excited to try and work with her more and get her to church. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "sfuitext";"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 22.66666603088379px;">Yes I have time to do the thought of the week. It's from the October Liahona and it's from an article that a member shared with our investigator and so I went home and read it after and loved this paragraph. Especially today I've been thinking about loved ones at home who are going through hard times right now with hard things.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Let us realize that we all need to rely completely on the Lord Jesus Christ and His Atonement as we seek to do our part. In that humble recognition, let us seek to understand our families and neighbors in distress, reach out to them in love, and cultivate together greater faith and trust in the Savior, who will return and “wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain." </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I know as we rely on the Saviors Atonement we can overcome any hardship whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual. Christ is the only person who knows how we feel and when we truly rely on that one person who understands more clearly then anyone else then we will find the way out of that hardship. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; direction: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt;">I love my Savior and I'm grateful for his sacrifice for me. He is the reason life is possible and joyful as we live it. I love Him. I love you all and miss you. I know God is watching over you and he loves you. Thanks for all you do. #RELY #SACRAFICE</span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Hello Family Friends! </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How are you this week? I can't believe October is almost done already, it's just not even possible how fast this time is going. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well this week we saw miracles for sure. God is providing us with so many awesome things right now. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So first we had a fun koukan this week with Taguchi Shimai and Gusman Shimai. I had the opportunity to go with Gusman Shimai. It was so fun! She is from Hawaii and just is full of joy and love. We did a lot of finding and it was so good. We knocked on this house and the usual in Japan people just talk to you through their door bell but this lady says hold on I'll come out. We were both so shocked. We start talking to her and tell her about eikaiwa and our purpose and she said actually recently I've been wanting to teach my kids English because I studied it. So after that we said a few things to her in English and she is like fluent so we got to know her better and turns out she's familiar with Christianity and was very interested that we taught free English and she wants to bring her friends kids as well so we were way excited about that. She was so sweet and way excited. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Then next was Nishio Sans lesson. The lady with a date in December. She is progressing little by little every time we meet with her. We taught the whole restoration lesson and we watched a 20 minute restoration video and wow the spirit was so strong. As I had an opportunity to testify of the restoration I just felt in my heart a confirmation of how true the restoration is and what a huge blessing it is. And yes being a smith, tears were brought to my eyes and I just know we all felt the spirit during this lesson. She's working on word of wisdom daily and reads daily as well. She's changing a lot as we continue to meet and teach her new things. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So recently we received a referral from a member and we had an appointment to meet with them Wednesday. So we got there and the member says "okay we don't have a lot of time but if you want to share the gospel go!" Out loud haha little awkward but we just started to talk to her friend and see things she knew about our church and her background. She had so many questions about missionaries and also how we are all so happy and don't have weaknesses etc. so we had a awesome lesson about the blessing of the gospel and our Father in Heaven. The member also shared such a strong testimony of the gospel blessing her because she actually was baptized like 4 years ago so it was so amazing and the spirit was there testifying for sure. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So Saturday was amazing. We had planned to go visit two referrals and one was from my sweet amazing Miller Shimai. She met a lady in her area and the lady said to have her friends who live in kawachinagano go visit her mom cause her mom lives there. So we had the address and went. Well we get there and the girl my sweet Miller shimai met was there!! It was a miracle. So we were able to talk to both of them about what we do and it went awesome. We invited them to our activity this week so we will see if that'll work out good. Then after that we went to a friend of a members apartment and knocked she came out, she had such amazing thoughts about life and the world. We had a great lesson about our loving father in Heaven and he helps us do anything. She wanted to know how the member was always happy even with 7 kids and we were able to testify of God and we get to go back next week. I love this work! It's so amazing.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">That's all the time I have sorry.. no message this week.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Family, Friends, and Loved ones!</span></div>
<div style="direction: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">How was the fall break? It seemed like a lot of fun. Beach looks beautiful and that picture of the whole family ready for church just brought me so much joy. I'm so grateful for eternal families and my amazing family! You guys are awesome. Well, FATHER HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I can't believe how old you're getting, wow! Just kidding, you're young still and looking great! I am so grateful for you and hope you're day is great. I love you lots Father Dearest. As well, Happy Birthday to my amazing friend KJ! Love ya bud, thanks for your support our here on my mission. I feel it always:) </span></div>
<div style="direction: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well this week for us was a good one for sure. <span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">We have a Halloween eikaiwa party on the 25th so we have been handing out flyers this whole week. Well the primary kids said they wanted to help so Saturday for an hour we went with a group of the primary and talked to people and handed out flyers. It was so fun! Ha the spirit little kids have is amazing. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">First we met with Nishio San our investigator who has a date for December. She wanted to learn more about the Word of Wisdom because tea is so famous here. So we taught her that. Well it went awesome, she agreed to follow it. Well we had her pray at the end and it was honestly the most sincere prayer ever. She really just talks to our Father. There is no greater feeling than when an investigator prays and you just feel God's love for them and know He is helping them. </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Next we had an exchange this week, it was fun! I was with Nomura Shimai. We went visiting teaching with members and it went really well. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">Well this week as well, my Japan dream came true. To work in a field with a grandma. Woo hoo! </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;"> One of our members called and said I need some help in the field, is it okay if you help Wednesday so we went and it was a blast. Obviously the gardening was awesome, but the best was the miracle we saw. So as we worked, this grandma came by and was putting her trash out and needed help so we stopped and helped her. Her name is Yabumoto. She started talking to us and we told her we are volunteers and what we do. Then the member started to talk to her about Christ and turns out she's way familiar with Christ. So we got talking about that and she wanted to also study some English because she knew it a little before. So we now have an appointment with her this week. But really it was because of the member and her courage to talk of Christ. After we talked to the member we found out she had prayed to have an experience today for missionary work. Member work is the greatest. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">Well also this week, we were biking to the church for a lesson with a less active when I saw this girl across the street and felt like I should talk to her. So I crossed and talked to her. Her name is Yuri. She goes to a Christian school right now so she is familiar with prayer, Christ, etc So we got to talk about that and then she said she loves English and studies it. So I started to talk to her in English, it was perfect. So shocked. But she said she would come to eikaiwa. So we are hoping she comes so we can meet again and teach her more. Then this week we felt like we should call this old investigator named Kim from Korea. We sang in church this week so we thought easy to invite. Well I call her, she says Monday come to my house I want to study English and your religion. Wow, I was so shocked but overjoyed haha so we went there today and it went awesome. She has so many questions and wants to know about God and our church. We are excited for the next lesson with her and hope it goes well. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well as for the thought this week, it comes from Elder Bednar. We had the opportunity to listen to him speak to the Tokyo stake and we watched it as a broadcast. It was amazing! He talked about joy. And lately that has been talked about a lot. Well he talked about how so many members make the church a check list. I prayed, I read, and I finished home teaching, but that's not joy if we do it as a check list. In order to have true joy in the gospel we must do it because of desire and love for our Father. As I heard that, even me as a missionary, I get in the motions of study, go work, come home, plan, etc. and it isn't joyful or sincere. But if I remember the love for my Father and sincerely do these things out of desire then it's not a check list. Please, if your study, prayer, going to church etc. has turned into a checklist, rethink that and make it a sincere desire. Do it because you love Him and you want to return to Him. So review that and see the difference it makes in the basic things of our gospel. I know God loves all of you, he wants you to return to Him. He is aware of you so stay close to Him. I love you all and miss you! Stay safe. #RELY #SINCERE </span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><span class="im" style="color: #500050; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">How are you? How was your week? Seems like life is good and just continuing to go and go. Wow, it's insane how fast it goes. Also transfers, we stayed! Haha so it'll be a good one with the same area, same companion etc. </span></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">But this week was oh so miracle filled. God is so good!</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"> We found so many new good investigators this week. And young cute college ones. It's so fun! </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">Let me get started on all these great new people we found. So first is Masumi chan. So we were going to visit some other investigator when we saw her walking and we decided to talk to her. Well we got to know her a little bit, her name is Masumi Chan, she's studying cooking, food, and health. So that was fun to talk about then we were able to introduce our purpose and how we teach about a loving God who is our Father and we can talk to him through prayer about anything at anytime. She had heard of prayer and such but hadn't done it much. So we taught her how we talk to our Father and we were able to relate to her needing help in school and just needed a friend to talk too. So we testified of prayer and God knows her. We made another appointment and will meet her Wednesday! Yay</span><span style="font-family: "applecoloremojiui";">! </span><span style="color: #500050; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: xx-small;">Next is Miyo Chan. We were biking back from going to a member appointment who lives so far but she wasn't home, we don't know why so then we were both kind of bummed and frustrated. So I saw this girl and just decided okay, I'm talking to her. And she is a college student as well studying nursing. So I was able to talk to her about how I'm gonna study that as well which was fun. Then we were able to talk about our purpose here on earth and how we aren't just here, and it's over after this but we have a reason to be here. She thought that was cool and actually hasn't thought much of any of what we talked about so she agreed to exchange numbers and we can contact her soon this week. I'm so glad the spirit told me to get over it and talk to this girl. It's not always easy stopping some random person on the street but I prayed in my heart and it all worked out awesome. </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: xx-small;">Next, after general conference we decided to go visit an investigator who I think dropped off the planet earth, because we can't find her. But anyway on the way I just thought the next person is the one. So I stopped the next person we saw, her name is Misaki. She's so cute and in her 20's and we told her what we do and she has met elders years before and loved English because she lived in New Zealand for awhile. She has way good English, so that was fun to speak a little. But she didn't remember a lot about what the elders taught her so we asked to exchange numbers and we did and she said please call me again. Oh my heavens, God is so amazing. </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: xx-small;">So after her we went and knocked on a few doors. Well no one was home because of the thing called Danjiri. It's a famous fair thing, and finally we were like okay this door and then we had another appointment. So we knock and this guy comes out and we tell him about what we do. I told him I was from America and he said what part and I said Utah. He said no way?! Do you know the jazz? Ha I was shocked. Uh basketball? He said yes, I love them ha. So first off that was random, but anyway, he had all these questions after we talked about God because he said so many bad things happen to good people. So we shared from the BOM and asked if we could come back and share more about this plan and he said yes. So that was exciting! </span></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Oh also, a Less Active we are working with right now to go to the temple and come back to church, came to general conference. We were over joyed! She hasn't been in a long time. </span></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">Okay, general Conference. Lets just say, I'm so grateful for a loving prophet and apostles who lead us. I loved all of them, Nelson, Nattress, etc but I want to share from Uchtdorfs talk on Saturday Morning. He said, </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">"</span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">I invite each of us to consider this question. What shall we give in return for the flood of light and truth God has poured out upon us?" And when he said that, it just hit me, God has given me so much, an amazing family, friends, this gospel, a body, a home, etc so the LEAST I can do is be doing this work right now. It's a year and a half of my life, that is nothing to what He has given me. So I want to challenge you all this week to think about what you can do to give back to Him. And consider President Nelsons talk as well, do it joyfully! We as members can find joy in anything. I know this is true. Missions are hard, exhausting, etc but I'm the happiest I've ever been...why? This gospel. I know it's true so please find what you can give back to our loving Father in Heaven. This work is so amazing, the joy you feel from sharing this knowledge is indescribable. I love it and I know it's all true with all my heart. I love you and miss you all! Stay safe and have a great week! #RELY #GIVEBACK</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How are you? I can't believe this transfer is over, wow so fast and it's October. Time is just not normal out here. Sounds like conference was amazing as always and boy I can't wait to watch it this week. Merc! Happy Birthday! Hope it's a good day and you're treated like a queen. Love you!! I'll be thinking about you. Also my best friend GRACIE! Happy Birthday Sister Walton. Love you! </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well this week was a great spiritual train that's for sure haha </span></span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Well Nishio San the lady we met last week who yelled our names, well we met with her Monday night with our ward mission leader and it was good but hard. She thinks the Book of Mormon is way hard to understand , which it's not easy but we taught about the gospel of Jesus Christ and committed her to be baptized on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1731903573" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">December 12</span></span>, she said yes but is very nervous. But we are excited to study with her and help her learn progress and grow. </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">This week we had our last exchange and I went with Nakayama Shimai. It was so fun! She is Miller Shimai's old companion so it was fun to get to know her and talk about weird things Miller Shimai does etc. but anyway the best was we had a lesson with a member who is from the Philippines and doesn't speak Japanese so she had to teach in English and she's decent cause she lived in Utah for awhile but she was so nervous. There was a few times she would say something and the member couldn't hear her cause she's kind of old and she wouldn't repeat it cause she thought it was wrong English. It was weird being on the other side haha</span><span style="font-size: 17pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">but the best was we had an appointment with a LA who we teach weekly cause she has a goal to go to the temple and wow the spirit is the best is all I can say. So we teach from a temple prep book and we committed her to come to church last week but she didn't come so we started off with following up with that and then she just opened up about lots of things. And we had the RS president there and she shared lots of things and so did Nakayama Shimai and I just kept feeling like I needed to share this video called Mountains to Climb and talk to her about faith. Well I listened and showed it and testified about the importance of having faith in order to overcome anything in life and we all just were shedding tears and I just felt the spirit working through me so much. It was such an amazing experience. I'm grateful for the spirit. </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">We also had a wedding reception this week, boy was that weird attending as a missionary. We weren't going to but the ward asked us to help and we knew the girl well so we helped decorate the church and cook etc. but it ended up a little dorky but it doesn't matter</span><span style="font-size: 17pt;"> they did the growing up picture videos, a game if he knew his wife's handshake, cake, etc. but wow the whole time we were just awkward missionaries watching love life haha but it was fun and delicious. The bride made her own cake and it was awesome. Fun time for sure. </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">So the amazing thing of the week, we had MLC and as we are spiritually preparing the Ap's come in and say alright we are going to the Welchs house today. We never do it there so we were shocked. We get inside and President Welch starts off with well we did it here cause today is a special one. And he ends up announcing the new revelation he received which is a new goal we have here as a mission. Every companionship will see a baptism before 2017. We were all so pumped and the rest of the meeting was amazing. I felt the spirit so strong there. So we and the Zone Leaders prayed individually about what we needed to share at training in order to pump up the zone and I felt I should talked about attitude. And usual we train together but the zone leaders wanted us to train separate because we had so much revelation we wanted to share. So I stood up there and trained by myself for 30 minutes, scary! But wow did I learn a lot about the importance of attitude. It makes everything different and makes the good, bad, or in the middle greater. Just take a step back and look at what attitude you have in life. Do you wake up thinking today is gonna be awesome or do you wake up and say well here we go again? I promise you through good attitude, life will be changed. When you wake up, please when you start the day with the morning prayer ask for that help of a good attitude and I know the saviors atonement will bless you to have that. </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Last, for my message, I'm sure all the sisters know this talk but in the women's conference President Uchtdorfs talk "Fourth Floor, Last Door" I read it on the gospel library app. It is amazing! But I'll just share the last part of it with you. </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">"In our search for enduring faith, in our quest to connect with God and His purposes, let us remember the Lord’s promise: “Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Will we give up after knocking on a door or two? A floor or two? </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Or will we keep seeking until we have reached the fourth floor, last door? </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">God “rewards those who earnestly seek him,” but that reward is not usually behind the first door. So we need to keep knocking. Sisters, don’t give up. Seek God with all your heart. Exercise faith. Walk in righteousness. </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">I promise that if you will do this--even until the fourth floor, last door--you will receive the answers you seek. You will find faith. And one day you will be filled with light that grows “brighter and brighter until the perfect day.” </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">I know as we push till the fourth floor, last door in life that god will bless us and the lives of others. So please go read this talk and think how it can apply to your life. God wants us to try our best even when days are long, hard, and tiring. He will bring that big blessing I promise. I love you all and miss you lots. Have a wonderful week! </span></span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">こんにちは愛する家族と友達!元気?</span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">(Hello everyone! How are you?)</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How was your week? Seems all is well and life is just flying by isn't it? First, COLE JENSEN! Happy 3rd birthday. Wow, time is flying, getting so big! But have a good day tomorrow bud! Love you!️</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well this week was a blur ha time is just, I don't know ha but let's see some of the good things that happened this week. Well Tuesday we had an exchange, I stayed in our area with Taguchi Shimai and Kawamura Shimai went to their area with Carr Shimai. We get to our area and a huge typhoon hits! We weren't allowed to go outside for 3 hours and it was like shaking our apartment ha it was crazy! First experience of a typhoon for me. But we wrote our testimonies in Book of Mormons, made flyers for our next event, and studied together. It was a good time but finally we were able to go outside. So we had a PI we wanted to visited so we went to their apartment and well they weren't home so we were bummed and were gonna leave then I felt like we should visit the LA that lived in the same apartment. So we went and I haven't met her yet, we've gone like 3 times but she's never home. Well we knock, and she lets us in and we were able to share a message with her and her son who comes weekly. The spirit was so strong as we talked about the importance of family, love, and service. I love those small experiences. The spirit led us there and we were able to share a message and build a great relationship with her</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Next we went and did visiting teaching with some members and after on our way home we saw this lady and thought we should talk to her, so we did. And she was from the Philippines (love them) and she has been her for years with her husband. Her name is Hashimoto and has such strong faith in Christ. So we talked about the special thing in our church of eternal life and restoration. We exchanged numbers and will meet again soon. We really hope she can meet often, she lives far but we built such a fun good relationship so we are excited about her. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Next we we had a lesson with Takehashi San. I might have mentioned her before but she is an old investigator and she called us two weeks ago and wanted to meet so we went and it was awesome. Her husband came to eikaiwa a few years ago but he recently passed so we talked a lot about eternal families so she wanted to meet again and do 30/30 which is half English and half gospel. So we had a member come with us this time. We helped her translate her email she wanted to write to a friend into English then we were able to share a message about gods plan for us and eternal families. She thought it was such a neat knowledge we had. She is still timid to pray but she said she wants to wait till she has a desire to pray then she isn't being disrespectful to God, which I thought was awesome. We committed her to pray to know God is there for her and his plan for her and she said as soon as she felt she had that desire she would. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1908225761" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span> we had a service opportunity. Yes! Ha it's been so long. Well we got to go to this park area and clean up all the weeds and trash etc. it was a lot of fun with the members and we got to talk to lots of people and show the light of Christ. We didn't find anyone who was willing to meet but we will keep doing that to show the light and touch someone's heart. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Last cool thing of the week, so we were biking home from an appointment when this lady just yells "Sister Missionaries!" We we're both so taken off guard. Her name is </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Noshio and she had met with the missionaries before and wanted to get baptized but some things came up. So she said she's been looking for sisters and wants to meet Monday night to learn again. Wow! That's a miracle right there. So we will meet here today with our ward mission leader. So it's taking time yes but the work is coming along. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">My thought of the week is from my atonement challenge we are doing as a mission. We read the Book of Mormon focusing on the Atonement. Well I was reading Alma 43:2 and it just stuck out to me so big this time. And it says "</span>2 Now we shall say no more concerning their preaching, except that they preached the word, and the truth, according to the spirit of prophecy and revelation; and they preached after the holy order of God by which they were called." </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; direction: inherit; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And I just loved that. I of course thought of my calling as a missionary but right now we are trying to work a lot with members and so I thought of how important members job is to "mourn with those that mourn and comfort those that stand in need of comfort." Yes missionaries are here doing it 24/7 but with members preaching the gospel the work just sky rockets. God called us to share this gospel. Whether we have name tag or not, we all were baptized and that was the promise and calling for us to share it. So please, go deep, think hard about who you can share this light too. I promise there is someone. Members help changes this work, even in Utah. So please go pray and receive that revelation for who you can help change their life. Oh also, please enjoy conference, go into with questions and help and I promise through prophets and apostles of god that you will receive what you need. Maybe not what you want, but what you need. I love you all and I'm so grateful for your example, love, and support. Have a great safe week! </span></div>

<div style="direction: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Family and Friends!</span></div>
<div style="direction: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">How are you all? Seems from what I've read that everyone is good. I'm glad everyone is happy, healthy, and doing good. I pray for you always and hope you're staying close to your savior to receive the blessing of being well. Well this week, so busy and lots happened. Haha first off we had Zone Conference, which is where President Welch, Sister Welch, and the AP's come and train us and also us and the Zone Leaders train. So that was scary because first time training in front of President Welch but it went so well. We trained about hope and it was so so great. We did a little activity where we wrapped a small amazing present in a billion boxes and had one of the missionaries open it and it took time but he finally got to it and we asked him why he did that and he said because you said there was something at the end so we related that to god promising us success if we have hope and work hard. It was just a great discussion and went awesome. Friday we went as far as we basically can in our area to visit some less actives and such. We had no idea if they would be home or not but we felt like we should go. So we did, met two less actives we planned to meet that really were so over joyed we came out there then we also met an awesome cute pregnant mom named Nomura who listened to our message and told us to come back. It was a long bike ride but a great successful day!!<span style="color: #454545; font-size: 17pt;"> </span>Saturday we were going to visit a less active and we stopped and talked to this cute mom and her daughter and she was from Toyooka and moved here. Yeah Toyooka my last area. What the small world ha so we were able to teach her and invited her to activaties and we are hoping she comes! She was so cute and we built such a good relationship. So we will see what happens with her. So Sunday is what I mainly want to talk about. We have been planning this splits activity for a month or so now and it was yesterday. We did a lunch with then YW, YW, and YSA of our ward and also our zone missionaries in our area. Then practices teaching and taught a small lesson about missionary work and then split up and went our way. So I was with Erisa and she's 21 and wants to serve. We went and visited an investigator I have yet to meet because she's never home and well we knocked and she was there. She came out and had been praying still and felt god help her in her tests. Then we were able to talk about church and the importance of it and invited her to come and at first I wasn't sure what she would say then the member testified of why she likes church and well she said yes. And let me tell you the member testifying made that whole lesson work out right. Then all the other missionaries found prepared people, met awesome LA etc. it was such a great experience to work with the youth and help them prepare and love missionary work. So please, suggest this to the ward or stake in our home ward area I promise it'll help youths desire to serve. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Last is the thought of the week from a talk called "Living the Abundant Life" By President Monson and he talks about three points. The ABC's; Attitude, Believe, and Courage. Attitude: "The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.” </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Believe: "He does not believe that does not live according to his belief.” </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Courage: "Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.’ </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Everyday please remember these ABC's and I promise you that life will be so much happier. I'm not saying there will be no trails or hard times but facing them will be different. I've been trying to always apply the ABC's daily and it's been awesome. So go read this talk and then personally apply it in your life and I would love to hear experiences from changing and strengthening those three things. This church is so true. God loves of all us and Christ suffered for each of us individually. I know that it is true. I love my Savior. I love you and miss you all! Thanks for all you do! #RELY #ABC's </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">スミス姉妹 Smith Shimai</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Hello Loved Ones! 愛する皆さん!こんにちは!</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">How is everyone? Sounds like a fun long weekend with swimming, BBQ, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">etc. I'm glad you're all safe happy and well. I love you and pray for </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">you daily. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Well sorry another busy day today because we have zone conference </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1946096265" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204 , 204 , 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;"> and we have to do a training as STLs and stuff so way busy </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">today but I will write about the miracles as fast as o can. Because we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">are working hard and seeing some for sure. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">So we have an investigator named Nirei San. He's been so hard to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">teach, just very stubborn I guess a lack of better words. But this </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">lesson we had was a miracle. So we've been focusing on prayer a lot </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">because he just says he doesn't pray until he sees a miracle. So we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">have been trying to teach that we have to first open the door of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">miracles and then we can see them etc. he just wasn't having it. So I </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">decided to do a simple example of God is wind. We can't see him but </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">always feel him. We testified from our heart that God loves him and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">boy did I feel the love and spirit there. We ended with asking him to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">pray right there, he just sat there awkward for about 5 minutes then </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">yes... HE PRAYED! It was two sentences but wow I just felt God telling </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">him he was there. It was so spirit filled. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Also this week I had my first MLC experience. All the STLs, zone </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">leaders, AP's and the welchs have a meeting how to help out </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">missionaries. You think after conference you feel like spiritually </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">high, this was insane! Haha I loved this meeting so much and received </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">so much revelation for myself and others. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">So this week we had an exchange. It was so fun! I worked with Carr </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Shimai. She's a tenth transfer so one above me and is just such a good </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">teacher and loves instantly. Me and her went and visited this family </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">we've been trying to visit for weeks but haven't been home and they </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">were home. We were able to teach about prayer to them and they agreed </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">to pray as a family. We were so stoked. Then in the same apartment we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">went to visit another PI and I haven't even met her yet but she was </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">home. She didn't have time so we just prayed with her and boy did we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">feel the spirit as she allowed us to pray for her and after said we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">can come back. Exchanges, the best. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">So this week I had my first opportunity to train at Zone Training </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Meeting. Boy training is scary and intimidating but it was fun! We </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">trained about working with members. We did the trust fall activity and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">talked about how is and members need to have trust in each other to be </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">able to work together. It went great! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Last the biggest miracle of the week, so we are teaching a LA grandson </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">and also she has invited her neighbors to listen as well. A family of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">3 (mom and 2 daughters), we teach English and then gospel. So we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">shared a message of prayer and how we can pray anytime and how he </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">gives us comfort, love, peace, and etc. Well we talked about we can </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">pray anywhere, home, school, church etc. and we said actually </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1946096266" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204 , 204 , 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">at church we will pray. And Rei, the two daughters all said I want to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">go to church </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1946096267" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204 , 204 , 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">. Wow, yes! So the LA and the mother of the two </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">daughters agrees to go. So </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1946096268" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204 , 204 , 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;"> came and as missionaries you're </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">stomach is sick till they walk in. We'll </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1946096269" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204 , 204 , 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">9:53</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;"> they walk in. YES!! Oh </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">the joy I felt was crazy. It was testimony meeting for us because of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">stake conference so even better, everyone sharing their strong </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">testimonies. But the best part, Rei (the grandson of LA) and the LA </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">both got up and shared their testimony of the joy they felt at church. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Oh my, I just felt so over joyed. My heart was pounding. I love this </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">work so much. People growing and changing is the best feeling ever. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Last, a short thought. So it's a quote that I'm using this week on </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Zone Conference Training. We are about what a successful missionary is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">and hope. So we found this quote and it says "Sometimes the adversity </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">tempts me to discouragement in the face of seeming failure. But I take </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">courage and press on anew, as I remember God doesn't hold me </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">responsible for success but for faithfulness. Jesus said; well done </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">thy good and faithful servant not well don't thy good and successful </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">servant." Isn't that amazing? We aren't judged on success in life but </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">in our faithfulness. So I challenge you all to ask God of your faith </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">is doing enough not the success you see. And I promise he'll let you </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">know. This gospel is true, Christ lives, and God loves all of us. Have </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">a wonderful week. LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU! #RELY #FAITH</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">スミス姉妹 Smith Shimai💕</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Hello Everyone!</span><br style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Sorry this might be a little short, we have MLC tomorrow so today has </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">been crazy busy. But I'll do my best to type fast. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">So this week was an awesome busy week yet again. I love this area, my </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">companion, and being able to serve the sisters of our zone. It's so </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">fun doing exchanges and learning from so many sisters. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">So this week we had a exchange with the Sakai Sisters. My first one </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">and boy was it fun! There is actually three sisters there right now </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">and I got the privledge of working with two. It was fun, one is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">American and one is Japanese. It was just a new experience, my first </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">exchange and in a three people companionship. But we learned a lot and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">had fun. So we went to visit this LA up this HUGE hill ha and we were </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">kind of lost cause k don't fully know this area with it being city and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">etc. but we are biking around and this lady asks who we are looking </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">for and so we tell her and she knew her and our church. So we stopped </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">and talked to her and told her about what we do and what we believe. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">She has been to English class before but she didn't know much so we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">asked if we could come back and she said yes. We were so excited. So </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">that was awesome plus we met the LA after. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Then that night we had Eikaiwa. A lady we found the first week here </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">names Nakao came and wants to meet at her house and do the 30/30 </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">program. Which is half English and half gospel. Yay! She's like a 85 </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">year old grandma who is more healthy and perky then most teenagers. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Kind of like grandma Bonnie, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">haha it's awesome! So we meet with her this week and I'm excited for that, she is just precious as ever. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Okay so </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1815924342" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204 , 204 , 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;"> we had stake conference, which was amazing. But the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">best was we got back and were doing some knocking and such and we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">knock on this older couples apartment door and the wife comes out and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">is just so happy to see us cause we are church people. So we taught </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">her about our purpose and families and she loves family and just being </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">around kind people so their invited us to come back next week as well. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">We are just getting lots of second appointments this week, it's been </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">so fun and good! Okay then after that we get a random call and this </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">lady says I met with missionaries before and did 30/30 but I haven't </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">met recently, could you come visit today? Wow, miracle. So we went to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">visit her and turns out her husband passed away and she needs help with </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">some translating into English to some of her husbands friends. But </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">what a good opportunity to teach about the plan of happiness right? It </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">was such a good time with her and we have another appointment soon. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Yeah for miracles. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">The best miracle of the week. So we had an appointment with this </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">investigate who never makes set appointments so we were excited. We </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">are waiting for a member to come with us and she arrives late then the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">member said I said her walking back home right now so we decided to go </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">meet her and walk back with her. As we start walking back it starts </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">pouring rain and she's like 85 and holding groceries so we run to her </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">and had our umbrella and were able to help her. If it weren't for the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">member being late it wouldn't have worked out that way at all. God is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">so aware of all of our needs and moments of need. I know that is true. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">My short thought from President Welch at Stake Conference. "Study </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">until you feel the spirit, plus 5 minutes." Everyday we should study, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">but the amount doesn't matter, just study till you feel the spirit </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">touch your heart and then keep going a little more. Some days may be 5 </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">minutes, some maybe 1 hour. But don't stop till you've felt that </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">spirit in your heart. I know it'll change the way you study. I love </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">you lots! I'm grateful for all of you and miss you lots. God loves you </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">and Christ suffered for you, personally. Never forget that. #RELY </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">#STUDYTILLTHESPIRIT</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">Hello Everyone! すごく忙しい!(Life's been busy or hectic)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">How are you all? Seems like life's just back to the normal schedule </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">and life is just moving by so fast, it's crazy. Goodluck in all you do </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">family! You're great! Okay well first, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEVENEE! Hope </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">you have a wonderful day and you're doing good. I just love you to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">death and hope you have a day you deserve. 24 now.. Wow still young. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Well this week was GREAT but overwhelming at the same time. Wow. Haha </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">being an STL is a busy crazy life. Also this ward is huge so getting </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">to know everyone was a struggle </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2094004458" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204 , 204 , 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;"> but it's such a good area </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">and I have loved every minute of it so far. Crazy story though, I walk </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">in the apartment and we always have recent concert pictures up and in </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">two of them the missionary is ELDER FAUSETT! Haha and I've asked a few </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">members about him, they all just said oh we loves him, he was a good </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">missionary. So that was a cool small world. Bit anyway, I just love my </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">companion as well, Japanese all day, hard work 24/7, but having fun </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">while doing so. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">So this week </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2094004459" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;"> we had a service activity, I was so excited </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">because you don't get those often here. We went to a museum and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">cleaned out the big waterfall fountain area and it was so fun and such </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">a good opportunity to talk to people and have them see our service. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Lots of our ward members came and also were being great missionaries. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">I love working with members, it helps so much! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">The same day we went and visited a member so I could meet them and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">also her mom isn't a member so we are trying to teach her but after we </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">shared a message there was a Matsuri close by which is like a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">celebration fair thing. So she took us there. It was so fun! Haha we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">danced with them and ate weird food and etc. boy it was fun! </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2094004460" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;"> was such a good day! We went and visited some PI and LA so we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">visit this one LA and her husband came out whom we have never met and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">is not a member and we were able to teach him about what we believe </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">and do as missionaries. He didn't have a lot of interest but you could </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">tell he was thinking and we hope to go back soon and he is there when </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">we visit her again. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">Then as we biked to another persons house we stopped this lady and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">talked to her. Her name is Nakajima San and she had met missionaries </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">before and remembers a few things we believe. She was very familiar </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">with God and loves the blessings he gives us. So we talked to her </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">about God and prayer. We asked her if she would let us come visit </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">again and said yes please come again </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2094004461" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Wednesday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;"> around 4. So we made</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;"> that appointment and found a new investigator. Yay! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">Then we went and had dinner with the Nakamura Family. It was so great. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">So we have been wanting to get lots of referrals from the member so </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">one way we are trying to do that is do a role play lesson with them </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">and they tell us what we did good or bad as we taught then talk about </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">how they can share the same thing and they then write down a name they </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">can share it with and when then later on we get them. So we did a role </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">play and we are new together so still working on balance of teaching </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">and stuff. So after we finish all of them said you guys teach as one </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">and that's awesome. Oh it brought joy to my face, the spirit helped </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">us so much to grow and teach better as one with in the past 4 days </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">it's been awesome! Plus we got 3 referrals from that and we built such </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">a good relationship. The members here are so loving and great. I'm so </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">excited to work here with them and see miracles here. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">It's been a good first few days here and I'm excited for these next </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">few transfers here and to serve the sisters here as well. It's such a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">blessing to be here and I can't wait to share more after this great </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">week we will have. We have our first exchange </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2094004462" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;"> so wish me </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">luck! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">Last is the thought of the week. I was reading a talk called Know </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">Thyself, Control Thyself, Give Thyself by President Dunn. So I want to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">share a quote from it that just made me realize never quit or give up. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">.."there is no disgrace in falling down; the disgrace is lying there.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">To get up one more time than you fall is to be a winner. To stay down </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">is to be a loser." It was so bold and just made me realize. Wow! We </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">will fall 10000 of times but we never lose until we don't get up. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">Isn't that blessing? God never lets us lose unless we stop trying. So </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">when things get hard, remember it's not the end you aren't a loser, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">God is there to help you get back up and you will win. I know God is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">there to help us up as long as we try and get up. I've fallen down so </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">many times here but as I kept going, God provided and it just improved </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">and for better. I know that's true. So please this week, never give up </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">no matter what. Remember we aren't losers, God just says try please </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">and I'll provide. I know this is true with all my heart. Love you all </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">and miss you! Be safe and enjoy school and normal life again. #RELY </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">#NEVERGIVEUP</span><br />

I hope all is well and it seems like life is fun down </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">there in St.George.

I've loved serving </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">here, not easy but so amazing and learned so much. I'm going to Osaka, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">way big city in Japan and I'm becoming an STL with a Japanese </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">companion. I'm so nervous but so excited for this opportunity to serve </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">other sisters. So this week for the work. We had a koukan (companion </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">exchange) with the STL's and boy was it a fun / interesting/ miracle </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">filled one. So I'll tell you about the miracles of course. So we had a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">weird lesson with an investigator and we both were feeling weird so we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">started biking to go visit a LA and saw this lady and decided to talk </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">to her and she was so prepared and right away said I want to meet </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">again and talk more about what you guys know.

So we tell her about what we do and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">stuff and she said do you two have time I can meet again? Uh wow yes </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">we can. So we got her number and are meeting this week when she's off </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">work.

I wish I could say we saw </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">miracles but I just wanted to talk about how good it feels to work </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">hard even on days of nothing. But we did have an awesome lesson with </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">a less active the Hamadas that I told you about last week. We showed </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">them this video called Mountains to Climb and it's about trails and we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">all have them around the world and we testified of Gods help and how </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">she can overcome any trial with him. We all had tears in our eyes and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">we could just feel Gods love. It just shows how much the spirit can </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">into the lesson through testifying of just what you know. Testify </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">brings the spirit I promise. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">So we had an awesome experience of watching the temple dedication for </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">the Sapporo Japan Temple. Boy is it beautiful and it was so spirit </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">filled. It just made me miss temple so much and also built my </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">testimony of the amazing work we get to do there. Take advantage of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">being able to go to such a close temple weekly and please go! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">Last is my thought of the week. It's from my study that I just loved. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;"> It's D&C 130:21 "And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">obedience to that law upon which it is predicated." I just loved that </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">if we want any blessings it'll come through obedience. It's just </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">simple, be obedient, follow God and be happy as you do it. I've </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">witnessed that so much as a missionary. If we follow with exact </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">obedience then the he will happily give us the blessings. Sit down </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">this week and go over the commandments and your personal obedience and </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">purify yourself and fix even the little things. God will bring the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">blessings you need I promise. Sorry little random email but I've got </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">to finish packing etc. but I love you all and miss you lots! Have a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">wonderful week! #RELY #OBEDIENCE</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">スミス姉妹 Smith Shimai</span></span><br />
