Happy Easter!! I have never appreciated Easter more in my life! Even though I didn't get much candy this year! However the meaning has never meant more to me than ever before! I am truly grateful for Christ and His Hand in my life. Without Him, I would be lost. I hope that as you all celebrate Easter today, you remember the true meaning of Easter and utilize the precious gift of the atonement as much as you can! It's kinda sad cause in Japan they don't really celebrate Easter so it wasn't too big, but it was a beautiful day and we were able to share the special video the church made with lots of people! This week has been full of miracles.It's crazy seeing all the many miracles that happen each day! Every day I come home amazed at all the things that happened throughout the day! It's been such a blessing! I think I have been able to listen to the spirit a lot better now. We were able to stop people in the streets that I know were prepared by the Lord and h

Nagasaki is going great! So far we only have one Investigator that we actually teach so we don't teach too many lessons, but we get to do a lot of Dendou! (Finding/missionary work) It was really hard at first. It's hard approaching someone and trying to talk to them, especially when a lot of the time they just start walking faster and waving their hand haha. However it's been getting better each time. I learned that I have to be more happy when I do it! I can't share a happy message if I'm not happy! So I just have to think about the joy that this message is and has brought me and it gets easier to share! So far I've crashed twice on my bike, all graceful Falls of course! But yeah it's hard to make sharp turns in the rain without your tires slipping out from under you, and you can't cross train tracks very well in the rain either, especially while going through an intersection! So those were all fun times! I'm okay so far so it's all good!

Last week I totally spaced on telling everyone where I was assigned! My bad... haha I was assigned to the Nagasaki area in Nagasaki city and my trainer is Elder Jensen from Spanish Fork, Utah! It's been a crazy transition for sure! However everyday, it slowly becomes more like home. I still have a hard time understanding people, but it just encourages me to work harder in studying the language! It was a lot easier to do in the MTC, because we had more time! So those of you still in the MTC, take advantage of your time!!  Anyways, this week has been pretty fun. I finally got my bike so I don't have to walk everywhere anymore! Nagasaki is famous for it's hills in our mission, so I get a good leg workout everyday!  The food here is way good and the rice is so much different than in the States! It's so much better!!  Oh man so many things happen in a week but I don't have time to share everything!! I'll share one thing. So contacting people, stopping pe
