Week 12 and I'm Clearing My Shelves


Well it's been a great two transfers here in Okazaki, but I'm transferring this week. I'll be headed to Kanazawa (in the middle of the yellow on the map), the opposite side of the island bordering the Sea of Japan, tomorrow on a new adventure. My new companion is a kid from Australia and I'm supposed to be seeing a ton of snow. I'm pumped.

This week was pretty awesome. We found a new investigator who is a funny old guy. Our investigator, Sato, is getting baptized in two weeks! Her husband said yes so everything is clear. I won't be able to see it, but it'll be awesome. We got attacked in our apartment last night by some crazy 20 somethings from our ward. They doorbell ditched us, and when we went out to see who it was, we were met with a face full of whipped cream. It was pretty funny. I was able to give out a Portuguese Book of Mormon this week, which was pretty funny. I carry one everywhere and yesterday stopped a guy on the street who I didn't share any language with, but I had this sweet book in his language. I said "Jesus Christ" and gave it to him. 

I said bye to the ward and investigators yesterday. They are good people. I'll miss them. I hope everyone has a good week.

Here's a poem I really like from a talk.

You are the fellow that has to decide
Whether you’ll do it or toss it aside. …
Whether you’ll try for the goal that’s afar
Or just be contented to stay where you are.

Out here there's no one telling you what to do or how to do it. Just
me and my companion. It's all up to me and how hard I want to work for
God and the Japanese people. I'm trying to make a difference.
