Last week in Shibetsu!

Sapporo Temple

Sup yall this was another pretty good week. We had Zone confrence which took up a lot of it. But the trainings and getting to see everyone was really awesome. We stayed in a hotel the night before zone confrence in Sapporo. And I got to sleep in a bed for the first time in a couple months which was pretty lit. 

夫婦宣教師!
This week our Senior Missionary couple moved into Shibetsu! Their names are Elder and Sister Wight. And they are so awesome. Elder Wight served in Sapporo 50 yrs ago. And they told us that for the past couple years they have been trying to get on a mission. And he started during covid doing Japanese study again. So he has like over a 1000 day streak on duolingo, which is insane haha. 

成人の日パーティー
We had a Shinnen kai party thing for the day of turning of age into an adult which is a really big deal here. And they made mochi and we got to play games with everyone which was awesome. Our branch members are the absolute best!

Zone Confrence!
When we were at zone confrence they talked about a lot of awesome things, but something  I really liked was staying prepared for unimaginable blessings from God. They explained how sometimes we don't prepare for things because we think oh no way this is going to happen. But it is not by our will but God's. And he is always blessing us in our lives so we shouldn't put a limit on that. I loved this and I've loved just trying to look for all the little blessings in my life, and I feel so much more joy from it.

Matthew 17:20 
I love this scripture! There's nothing stronger than having a strong Faith in Christ. I've loved getting to share my testimony here in Japan. And getting to share that even just a desire is enough to Christ. And through that we can do anything.

Love and miss you all! Hope it's been an awesome year so far!
