Week 14 and the Roads are Clean 

Helloooooooooo Everybody,

This week went by super fast, and I hope that thanksgiving was a blast for everyone. It was fun for me. First off, I want to say that my investigator from Okazaki got baptized. Sister Sato was baptized yesterday and I'm so happy for her. It was an awesome experience being able to find and teach her everything. She was an example to me that God prepares people and we just need to find them. Over the space of three months she went from wondering who these two white boys were, who were talking about some kid who saw God, to being a member of our church. 

It's amazing. I'm grateful for her and know that her life will be blessed.

Hello!
Are you fine? How's your Kanazawa life?
Today, I was able to recieve baptizma. I was nervous but thanks to everyone I was able to finish safely. My son also came to church and I was able to have a wonderful time. All thanks to Elder Frisch and Elder Porter. Thank you very much!
Please take care of yourself and do your best for evangelism.

This week I ran into a Muslim guy from Indonesia on the street. We talked a bit about church stuff and he said it'd be alright if we meet up sometime. It was good because we haven't been able to get that far in a while. We have been sharing messages about Christmas which is fun. People really don't know much about it. 

Oh, my cool story for the week. I ended up in a Japanese Police station which was interesting. It was actually a miracle. I had lost my name tag on the same street, and prayed that I'd find it, but we couldn't. A couple days later we got a call at the church that someone had found it and it was at the police station to be picked up. I thought it was a miracle. They made me fill out a pile of paper work which was pretty funny but I got it back. 

Thanks for everything everybody. Have a joy filled Christmas season and smile everyday.

I went to the legendary Kenrokuen Park and took pictures.

The park attracts a bunch of visitors and sightseers, so it's funny to see white people, especially when they don't speak English. Ha ha ha. I met a Muslim guy from Indonesia and I learned stuff I didn't know about Islam. He also said we could meet again. I went on an exchange to the Japan finger that I always wanted to go to! It was pretty fun.

As missionaries there are two Americans, a Canadian, and a Australian in our apartment, so we went out to eat on Thanksgiving. We got Katsudon, which is a rice bowl thing, which was pretty good, and for the kids in seminary, we woke up and made them pancakes. Good day. 

I had a miracle this week. I lost one of my name tags while visiting the castle so we told the people and they said they'd let us know. Well, in about three days we got a call from the police station and they found my badge and it was awesome. It's cause we prayed that I would find it.
