This week was a really great week! We really had a fun time and we saw
huge miracles! This week we were able to see W_____ be baptized! It
was so fun to see him feel the spirit and be so happy after received
baptism. I definitely feel like that is where the joy is. It has been
amazing to see how W____ has changed his life and really become a
much better person! This Sunday if he was able to come to church and
he received the Holy Ghost which was also really amazing! When the
member who gave him the Holy Ghost said, "receive the Holy Ghost!" I
really felt the Spirit really strongly and so did W_____. I'm so
grateful for the spirit! This is truly what converts them! I know that
as missionaries as we continue to try to teach by the spirit and
continue to help our investigators feel the spirit that is what is
going to help them be converted. This was a great week!
Something that was really fun this week was me and Elder Egbert got to
go on exchanges with Elder Hall. It's always great to Dendo with Elder
hall, especially to be working with him and it was also a great
opportunity to learn a lot a lot from him I'm really grateful for his
great example. This week I feel like I was able to learn a lot from
him. As Zone Leaders we get to go on exchanges with the assistants. It
is a great learning opportunity, and I'm so grateful that I was able
to have the opportunity! Something that I learned from Elder hall, is
that as we become united as a mission, that is where we will see the
miracles! This week we were also able to have MLC which is something
that we get to go to a zone leaders and sister training leaders. MLC
is an amazing meeting! We always feel the spirit very strongly and we
always get to learn very special things from President Budge! It
really helps us get united as leaders in the mission! Also, we're able
to hear President Budge's new vision! It's always so exciting to hear
the new revelation that President Budge has received. Right now in the
mission, we are really focusing a lot on church attendance. We
realize, that at church we know that the investigators can feel the
spirit and through that spirit they can be converted. It is really
exciting but we have a new goal as a mission which is to have more
investigators come to church in every ward then missionaries! We are
going to try to do this as a mission as soon as possible! I am really
excited for this new goal. I really think that this is the right
direction for the mission! If we hit this goal we would have over 240
investigators come to church in one week. That would be a miracle!
I'm really excited to see the mission work towards this goal. Please
continue to pray for the missionaries in Tokyo Japan mission to be
able to see their friends come to church every week!
In Japan right now the cherry blossoms are bloomed! It is crazy to me
how fast that these trees go from fully bloomed to no flowers on them!
I think it is really cool that they still plant these trees so that
they can still have only one and a half weeks of cherry blossoms! How
cool! The cherry blossoms really are so pretty and so amazing! I will
try to send more pictures today, but being in Tokyo there are not tons
of places to go see cherry blossoms�c but I tried my best!
Today, we had a chance to go to the temple! It was so amazing! I love
the temple. Every time I go to the temple, I come out of it so
spiritually uplifted! Today, there was a new movie in the temple! It
was so good! The new movie was a good change of pace. I thought that
the new movie taught a lot of things really well. I also loved how it
was a lot more exciting! The church is amazing. It really is amazing
all of the things that the church is doing right now at! I haven't
been able to watch general conference yet, but I am so excited to hear
from our beloved prophet Pres. Thomas S Monson, and hear all of the
revelation that the prophet, and apostles have for us! We will have
the chance to watch general conference in Nakano with some of our
investigators and recent converts. I am really excited to be able to
go Nakano, watch general conference, and learn very much through the
Spirit from our beloved church leaders! They always seem to teach
right to me! I am going to go into general conference having some
questions, and I'm excited to have them answered by our beloved
leaders! Gen. conference is so amazing!
Well I am sorry that I don't have more today, it was a really great
week but it seems like it was a pretty normal missionary week. I am
really excited for this next week though, because it is transfer week
again! Can you believe how fast this transfer has gone!? I can't
either! To end today I would really like to just bare my testimony on
how amazing this work is. I feel so blessed to be a missionary right
now in the Japan Tokyo mission. It is amazing to be a missionary! I am
so grateful for this opportunity to be a missionary, because I really
feel like it is helping me prepare for the rest of my life to be a
worthy church member! Becoming a missionary is just the first step of
lifelong missionary work! I really want to try and help them the
church grow even after my mission, but I know that on a mission this
is where I will learn the things I need to learn to become the kind of
son father and husband I want to become! I am so blessed to be able to
learn all of these things on a mission! It really is true what they
say about being a missionary changes your life and is the best two
years for you life. I love you all and I hope that you have a great
week! Talk to you soon!
Love,
Logan
