Dear family!
Today has been a very crazy day! I do not have a lot of time, I have written to most of the family already, so I just wanted to share about the week really quickly!
This week has been really good! It was pretty averagely good week, until we had zone conference this weekend and then it was amazing! What a great weekend! We had President and Sister B_____up here in Niigata and we had a whole weekend of being spiritually uplifted! How amazing. I love President and Sister B____so much. They are such amazing people and such amazing examples to me. I love up to them so much!
In the conference we were able to learn, and get some really good tools on how we can be ready to teach more effectively, and then we had some conference with the members and it was all about Members and Missionaries working together! That is kind of the big theme now a days in missionary work right? So we talked about how we can more effectively do that! It was such a blessing to see our entire zone just really get fired up and get really excited! They are all ready to go out and talk to their friends and neighbors about the church, invite them, and then introduce them to us! I think we are about to see a wave of success in missionary work like never seen before. I am so incredibly excited!
I know that this church is true. I feel it, and I know it more and more everyday. In the conference this last weekend, there was so much power there. The spirit was so strong, and I couldn't stop thinking how amazing it is to be a part of something so amazing. It is such a blessing that we have the gospel in our lives, living in Utah, most people I knew were mormon, and I never really spent time with non-members. As I have been here in Japan, I get to see people who live really sad lives, but as they come to know Jesus Christ and begin living the gospel, their lives completely change. That is a testimony builder right there. You can literally see them change. It is like nothing I have ever seen. Amazing. I am so blessed to be a missionary at a time when the work is being hastened. We are no long planting seeds. "The field is white all ready to harvest." It is. I think that we are about to see some incredible things, some incredible miracles, and I am so lucky to be a part.
I love you all so much. Know that I pray and think about you all daily. I know this church is true! I love being a missionary. Everyone please have an amazing week, and I will talk to you all soon!
Love,
Elder Cottle
