Week 52! Transfers.......

Hello!

I am now very far away from Tokyo haha. It only took 5 short hrs on a
bus and an extra 2 on the train to get here, but I made it safe and
sound and Nagaoka is amazing! I am so excited to work here and to see
miracles with Elder Killpack. It is going to be too much fun! We saw
some amazing miracles this week of people just showing up to church,
and I can just see that miracles are all over this area!

So I thought I would just share an amazing story with you all! My last
week I served in Sanjo, almost 8 months ago, me and my companion elder
pronk met a really cool guy named A____! He is a way young, good guy
and we got his information and then left. I didn't really think much
of it, other than he was a really nice kid who was really prepared and
a new investigator because we had a scheduled time to meet again.
Well, I got into Nagaoka this week, and I kept hearing about this
'A___' guy who is going to get baptized this month. It turns out that
'A___' is my A____investigator, and that he is going to be getting
baptized this month! He has been meeting with the missionaries ever
since me and elder pronk met him, and he is really excited to be
baptized this month. The most amazing part is he remembers me
perfectly. I added him on facebook yesterday and he started messaging
me saying how excited he was to meet up again, when I asked if he
remembered me, he sent me back the exact date that we met him, and
told me that he can never forget.

The miracle of this story, is that I am back up here, to help him
receive the blessings of baptism. I didn't really know that he was
progressing or doing this well until I got here, and it is just
amazing to me that I am going to get to be a part! We are teaching him
tomorrow, and I am going to get to see him again and kind of help
teach him a little bit before his baptism! This is just another
testimony that this church is true, and that our leaders are called of
God, and are inspired, and receive real revelation for us. There is no
doubt in my mind that I am supposed to be here right now at this time.
Amazing!

I am really excited for this transfer because I really feel like we
have what we need to see amazing miracles. It is fun to see how far me
and Elder Killpack have progressed as missionaries. I think now that
we both have a little bit of an idea what we are doing as
missionaries, and we both speak a little bit of Japanese, and we both
have really high hopes for this transfer, and lots of faith, we are
going to be able to see amazing amazing miracles.  I am excited to
have the opportunity to continue to learn, from Elder Killpack and
others on my mission, and really know that I am so blessed to be in
such an amazing mission with such great missionaries.

I am super grateful for this chance I have to be a missionary. It goes
so fast! It is crazy how fast it goes, but it has been such a blessing
to me, the people here, and my family. I know that I wouldn't be the
person I am right now if I hadn't come here. There really is no where
else you can learn the things you learn here. Missions are such a
blessing. I love you all so much! You are all such amazing examples to
me! I think about each of you and I am always praying for you! All of
your testimonies all strengthen mine, and help me be a better
missionary. Thank you! Everyone have a good week and I will talk to
you soon!

Love
