Week 4 Livin On A Prayer- Oct 22,2015




Konnichiwa Minna-san!! Genki desu ka?

I hope you liked my subject title because I'M HALFWAY DONE WITH THE MTC. Its gone so fast its kinda crazy but the individual days take so long. Some good stuff has happened this week so lets get started.

First, I found out we can open our air vents and store drinks in there, since we dont have refrigerators.  All the air vents have been unscrewed in the past, so everyone just pops open their air vent and puts drinks or food inside. Yesterday we went on a hunt to find stuff. We found a Dr. Pepper, Aloe Drink (pomegranate flavor), and a game created by prior missionaries. The game is called Super Fight. In Super Fight, you draw a character card, a weapon card, and a power card. Then, you and your opponent argue about who would win in a fight, then everybody else judges. For example, last night I was Emperor Kuzco (as a llama), wqith a bow that shoots snakes, and the power to read minds. Howeverm every power card has a weakness and my weakness was that I cant see farther than 10 feet away. Its good fun.

On a more important note, I have two baptismal commitments! Dennis, our English investigator, and Yoshida, our Japanese investigator. It's been a pleasure teaching them and I cant wait to teach them more. 

Also, apparently they try to get an apostle speak once a month here, so we migtht have an apostle speak on sunday or tuesday. Either way, I'll send pictures when it happens.

Japanese has been going good. I can now give a lesson without bringing my grammar and vocab books. I still need to use a dictionary however but what do you expect, Japanese is hard.

Despite the difficulty of the language, I love learning Japanese. A few days ago, we had a member of the seventy speak to us. I would like to challenge all of you to ponder just how important Christ's atonemnt has been. That's been the topic of my studies for the past few days for my investigators. I want to say that the Atonement is the most important thing that has ever happened. Ponder it, pray about it, and appreciate it. It is the greatest gift mankind has ever received. We are all indebted to Christ, and in return all He asks is that we follow Him. That is a pretty sweet deal in my opinion.

Well, this concludes my update. Its been great talking with you all, and as always-

God be with you 'till we meet again.
