Week 74! 新潟大会!

Hello hello!
We had a great week here in Nagaoka this week and it has been a great week to start off the transfer!  Elder Wheatley and I are extremely excited to have the chance to work together again and we recognize that this is an awesome opportunity to work together as a companionship for 3 transfers, and that it's an awesome opportunity to see a lot of miracles.  This transfer was also really special because we only had one person out of the whole zone transfer, so we are excited that we get to work together for one more!  I am really excited about all the things that are happening in the Nagaoka Zone right now, and I am extremely excited to see what happens this transfer!

On Wednesday we had two new missionaries come to Nagaoka!  There is a couple that has been assigned to work here and we are way excited!  So the Makise Couple made it to Nagaoka and Elder Wheatley and I were able to go and meet them!  It was a great to get to welcome them to their new apartment, and help them bring up some of the things they had in the car.  We were able to get to know them a little bit, and just share with them our excitement to work with them and kind of fill them in on some of the miracles that are happening in the Zone.  They seem really excited to be here, and really seem to know how to dendo!  I was really impressed when they had been home for only a few minutes after taking a long car ride up here, and just started talking about all the activities and things that they want to do with us here in Nagaoka.  They were excited to hear about all the missionaries that are here, and were really excited to meet everyone at the Chihobu Takai.  I really think that this couple is going to be a huge help here in Nagaoka, and up in Niigata as well because they have so much fire and are excited and ready to work.

So this week was really solid for the zone, and everyone seems to be excited for this next transfer.  Everyone in the zone has set some really good goals, and this week was good for everyone to just kind of re settle in.  We will be having our Zone meeting this next Friday and we are excited to put lots of focus on this Christmas goal and to get everyone excited to get their people ready for baptism.  Right now in the Zone there are a good number of people that we already have who are really close to baptism, and some who are fairly new and are working their way up to it, so we are going to be talking a lot about the path to baptism and helping our friends be able to get to that point.  We also want to put a big focus on baptismal dates in the zone and really get those up, because we know that our friends have to have baptismal dates before they can be baptized!  It should be a great meeting and we are excited to meet together as a zone and learn from each other.

This weekend at the chihobu takai was great, and I really think it was good for the members.  That love and forgiveness are so important, especially in small groups and branches here where you are always talking to every member often, if there are problems they will come up easily!  I think that it was a great weekend for everyone and we all learned a lot! This week really has been a really good way to start off the transfer, and it was fun and exciting with everyone together over the weekend! We have some good things planned for this week, so I'm sure it's going to be a great week!  I hope you all have an amazing week as well!  I love you all and pray for you daily!  You all are such a great support to me I'm so lucky.  Talk to you soon!

Love,
Logan
