Dear Everyone!
This has been a great week up here in Nagaoka Zone and great things are happening that are really exciting! It is so fun to see how the Lord is hastening his work, and how we are being blessed to just be a part of it! Things here in Nagaoka are going really well, and as a district here we have great unity and desire to improve and see many more baptisms here! Right now our district leader is doing a great job and is helping the district stay united and always trying to improve. It's fun to be in this District, because I really feel like there are no limits to what we can do! We have the Zone leaders, the Sister Training Leaders, and the District Leader and his companion all in one area, in one district and so it is just fun to see everyone doing so many amazing things! I think that President Budge really wants Nagaoka to be doing amazing things, so he has really put some amazing missionaries up here! It's fun to be able to work with such amazing missionaries so that I can improve and do better!
S this week was a thing called a "Daigaku Blitz," which daigaku in english is college! This week we decided as a mission that we would all go on last Friday to the college's around our area and just talk to everyone and try to find really prepared college students! It was a way fun idea, and it was a great way too make everyone in the mission excited! So we had the Daigaku blitz and we saw amazing things here in Nagaoka Zone! There are a couple of daigaku's here in Nagaoka, and then in Joetsu and Sanjo there were only fairly small ones, but it still worked out and we still saw tons of miracles. Here in Nagaoka, we didn't really have any huge miracles with daigakusei (college students) probably because there weren't any huge colleges around here to dendo very hard, but there were TONS of miracles on the way to the daigaku's and just because we had the blitz. I feel like that was the best part about the blitz was that it gave everyone here in Nagaoka something exciting to work really hard for. I know that I certainly felt like I was a part of something a lot bigger than just Elder Wheatley and I in Nagaoka. It was fun to think about all the missionaries in the mission working hard just like we were to see miracles, and with all that faith and excitement, we saw amazing things! I think that the blitz went extremely well and we are excited for the next one!
Right now in Elder Wheatley and I's companionship we are seeing a lot of exciting things. We have three investigators right now that are really progressing to baptism, H_____, Y____, and L____. We really want to try and see them baptized by the end of this transfer, and really believe that they are ready and can do it. Two of them have dates right now, and the other knows that he would be baptized if he found out that this church was right for him. I really have never seen another area this on fire before. Nagaoka is just seeing absolutely amazing things. There are people in every companionship who should be ready for baptism at least by next month and we know that there are more to come. Everyone is finding, inviting, and teaching, and when we can we are teaching with members and getting people to church. Everything is going so well right now. The missionaries here are all striving daily to be exactly obedient, and striving to be better personally so that they can see the miracles that they know God wants them to see. This Christmas season is exciting! You really can feel it in the air that there is something special coming. Right now we know that the mission has been a little slow getting off to this baptismal goal of 100, but I know that there is a reason that we as leaders felt the spirit in that meeting when we prayed together. The Lord wants this goal to happen, and He is going to strengthen and lift us up to be able to accomplish it!
This week was way good! Things are going good out here in Nagaoka and it's crazy that it is getting cold again! The transfer is coming to an end quickly! Thank you all for always being such a SUPER support to me and backing me up every step of the way as I'm out here. I love you all so much! Have a great week, and I'll talk to you soon!
Love,
Logan
