Me and Dean back at it at exchange

Hello Everyone!! This week was really good! Had lots of traveling but it that made the week just fly. I went to Sapporo for some license stuff. Then the next day went to the most North place in Japan, and had an exchange there. Then went straight down to Sapporo again for Stake Conference. And got to celebrate my birthday at stake conference with all the missionaries which was super awesome! Also being ahead like 15hrs means I get 2 b-days which is lit.

WAKKANAI W/ DEAN長老
Me and my companion from the MTC got to have the exchange together. Which was really funny but it was good. We got to go housing all day in the rain and beach wind. Which was ABSOLUTELY freezing, but it was good we got to meet this really cool dude and hopefully he can keep meeting with them there.

Stake confrence
Stake confrence was really good all the missionaries sang and I didn't have to do much which was nice. Just made sure no one could hear me. But the talks were awesome from what I could understand.

Transfer call
We also just got transfer Calls and my mission president totally tricked me but it turns out I'm staying another. Bouta be 7 months in the smallest area in the mission which is kind of crazy. But it will be good I love the area and people here. And I know theres a reason im here.

Spiritual
This week I read through Ether, and in Ether 12 there are lots of amazing references of faith. This is one that I loved.

6 And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.

I have always tried to share this with friends, because it is true that Faith might be the hardest thing, but it is a hope. And then you can grow off of that. And that's what I was able to do. And it has blessed me in so many ways.

Love you all! Hope you can find joy in Christ this week!!
