Well hello again Mina. As
some of the more perceptive may have mentioned, six weeks have passed. And we
all know what that means. Yes Elder Moore is now transfer nine. Oh and also
TRANSFER CALLS. Now some of you may be thinking "how could this transfer
call have anything interesting, he just transferred?" And I must say
you're right, I did just transfer. But as is my tradition I'll wait until the
end to share the details.
So this week was a very
special week in the Tokyo mission. Elder Bednar came and we got to have him talk with (emphasis on with) us for a few hours. You know what they say about
learning at the feet of the Lords chosen? Well I was literally there. Because
we had to leave a day early for the conference due to the fact we live clear
across the Kanto plains, we were there first and got the best seats in the
house. Right in the front. I learned so much. The spirit was there and it was
just a continuos stream of revelation. One of the biggest points was we have
our agency, so use it. We are agents to act, not objects to be acted upon.
Pretty much gave me a new motto for my life.
We got to ride a bus for a
while as well. More nostalgia came back from my temple trip days and it was
quite he experience. I would say that we had time to actually work in our area
but nope, after we got back we headed on drown to joetsu for splits. An
interesting fact about Joetsu, because there's only 4 active members the two
elders there also contact women on the street. That was a very weird
experience.
I had to give the Gospel
principles lesson on the plan of salvation. I'm much better in a one-on-one
teaching environment for sure. I also didn't have much time to plan as well so
it was very bara-bara in my opinion, but everybody seemed to enjoy it.
It's been getting colder
here in nagaoka. This week there's a low of 35 degrees and yesterday was a high
of 50. It usually starts snowing in November so we'll see how that goes.
Now as you've all
patiently waited here's the news for this transfer. After two weeks in nagaoka,
Elder Moore is................
Staying.
However, my companion is
transferring to Shibuya, and is training. That means my new companion
is................
I actually don't know yet.
BECAUSE IM TRAINING AS
WELL! I'll go pick him up from the Honbu on Wednesday. I finished up Elder
Titels last few weeks of training, and will be starting with a fresh off the
plane green bean. I'm very excited, especially since winter is coming
soon.
Anyways that's all I've
got for you. Net time I email you I'll be a fresh mission-dad
