i ♥️ buses

Toma会長 is da goat

This week was wild. Opening up new area. Which is 2 cities and they are both over 3 hours away from where we live. But we made we went this week. Missed the bus once. Cops pulled up on us once. And we met a dope dude from Australia and one from Belgium.  

Went to Shinhidaka. Met a super cool guy and got him a book of mormon. It's a sick area.

Went to Urakawa twice this week. Got to meet a young dude from Australia but he's also Japanese so the first 5 min we didn't know he spoke english. That was pretty funny tho when we found out. He's from Tokyo but will pull up again soon.

Some of the travel was crazy cooked this week. We missed our second bus one day because it wasn't reserved. So we were stuck in a random town. Then another time we had the cops pull up because they were looking for a foreigner. Luckily wasn't us. But i got to translate for the cops and guy.(video is on Google photos) Then we missed a bus on the way home. But our Mission President pulled up and took us home. Got ice cream with him. Best pres ever. 

Spiritual

I read through 3 Nephi 11 this week. I'm not gonna lie I was getting so excited the days leading up to reading that chapter and I always learn more and more from Christ visiting the America's and speaking to the people of Nephi. I know reading scriptures brings so much more joy and guidance to our lives. Especially the Book of Mormon as it testifies of Jesus Christ better than any other book. 

I love you all!! Doing great here in Tomakomai! Loving the work and the people I get to meet. So many ways I've seen my hard work pay off in the gospel and in the language to be able to help others. 

Have a good week!
