Elder Logan Cottle: Week 78! 雪だ！❄️⛄️

Hello!

This week has been an adventure! Friday morning there was a huge
clash of thunder, and instead of rain, snow started falling! And it
came down!! We had our Zone meeting that day which went great! But
after the meeting we went outside and there was probably 5-6 inches of
snow on the ground and it was still coming! It has been snowing on
and off all weekend and it is literally a winter wonderland here! I
will send lots of pictures, but it's unbelievable here! I know there
isn't any snow in Utah, but I think that is because we stole it
all...haha but it's been fun to work in! I have to say thanks to my
amazing mom for sending me those swims shoe cover things? Those have
SAVED me this week in the snow and are still saving me. They are
being well used! But it has been fun to be out working in the snow
and meeting lots of great people!

We were really busy this week! Like I said on Friday we had our Zone
Meeting and it went really good! While Elder Wheatley and I were
thinking about what we wanted to train about and we really felt like
working with the members is something that we can improve as a zone
here...so we spent the whole meeting talking about how we can better
serve with the members and how we can build their trust more and it
went really well! After that we had a christmas party with the zone
with lots of food and a white elephant exchange which was really fun!

We also had a big Christmas Concert this week in Niigata where all the
missionaries performed and it was really good! They video'd it so I
think that I will be able to get a copy of the whole thing and maybe
send it but it was way fun! We had Kent Derricot there who is a
member from utah who is really famous in japan and it was a great
concert! I took as many pictures as I could at all of this so I will
be sending those out but it was way fun to be with all the
missionaries and have a chance to celebrate christmas together!

Yesterday we also had our big Zone Conference with President and
Sister Budge and that was amazing. We talked all about Christmas and
the miracles we are working to see here! President Budge has amazing
faith and it was great to learn from him and the Assistants and learn
about how we can be better this Christmas season to see more miracles!
The spirit was really strong the whole meeting, and it was just a
huge blessing to learn there! Those kind of meetings always get you
really excited to get out there and go to work! It was an amazing
week and we were so busy! We had Zone conference yesterday, which is
why we have p day on tuesday but things are going so amazing! I
really feel the Lord preparing his people here in Japan for the
gospel, and its the most amazing opportunity to serve him during this
season! I love you all and I'm so grateful for your prayers and
support! Have an amazing week and I'll talk to you soon!

Love,
Logan
