Hello adoring fans (Mom and Dad) ! Guess what? Another rather shocking transfer call came last week! Brought to you by: Hastening the Work. On Friday we became and tripanionship! Three sisters, one companionship! We now have Sister Aso from Hokkaido. She is the awesome ^.^ other small plot twist is we are working in Okazaki AND Kariya. Two areas! Two wards! Whoooo! Don't ever get comfortable on a mission folks, you will be turned upside down right when you're not expecting it! Change is awesome. Haha so that has been an adventure, we spent these past few days in Okazaki and tomorrow we are going to Kariya. And because of events going back and forth about three more times this weekend! It really is cool teaching as three! It's kind of crowded but really fun and I am so grateful to be living with a Japanese companion again! Nothing else earth shattering occurred this week but we did get to teach THREE lessons to less active families last night that was a mir...

The Gifts of God

  This is a season when I am thinking about gifts a LOT.  Gifts from God: wonderful! Don’t need batteries, don't need to drive to UPS in Springville to return it, don't have to assemble it with cryptic IKEA instructions! 1. Family  Intro to ours, Jon and I are both 30. We first met as missionaries in Japan, and we got married in 2017 when we were not missionaries in Japan. We now have three awesome kids! They are truly our most cherished gift. S is 6, he has the gift of testimony and likes to bear it. E is 3, she has the gift of creativity and dance. W is 9 months old, he has the gift of joy because he smiles at everyone. Families are not perfect, but the love we can feel as parents for children testifies to me of God's love for us. 2. Talents  Another truly remarkable gift from God is that we each have talents given to us. As we’re created in His image, our talents are things that He is good at, that he passed on to us. Only to name a few, we are blessed ...

Happy New Year! This week it was pretty tough to get much dendo done  on account of everyone having two weeks off and therefore not being home slash hibernating if you are Brazilian because snow kind of scares them. It snowed on New Years Eve! Hooray! I am a little floored at how fast this year as gone. 2015 does not even sound like a real year ha ha! We did get to teach Lesson 1 to a member's college friend.  The Lesson We Taught: They are two super cute girls and its way fun since we're all around the same age. She was really interested in the message and seemed intrigued by the Book of Mormon! I love her and hope she accepts the full gospel! It is amazing how much Heavenly Father loves His children. Being a missionary is an immense blessing, being able to feel a bit of that love He constantly showers upon us.  Food I Ate: This week the Stake President invited us to his house in Gamagorri for a MOCHI lunch! I am so lucky I got to experience that! So the r...
