The Brooklyn Bridge

Christmas Day was magical! I am so grateful for Wi-Fi at the church and my iPad and Skype (OK we are way too lucky), so I could talk to my wonderful family in the morning! I receive so much power from your testimony and support, thank you times eternity. After that we went with Matsuno Shimai and our investigator Kobayashi San to a very short orchestra concert. It was two lovely women one who played the piano, the other the cello. my two favorite instruments! Such a special treat. Afterwards we went to thank them for bringing the Christmas spirit to our hearts, and they got talking about our purpose, and they thought it was so cool how we were teaching about the real meaning of Christmas. They were even more excited when we said that they would that we would teach their kids English for free. So it turned out to be a great finding opportunity! After that Matsuno Shimai took us to a café to visit her friend who runs the place. Her daughter actually just returned from...

Merry Christmas from the Matsumoto District! Okay, finally I will write a letter. On Tuesday we met at the golden clock at Nagoya Station with way too many missionaries to all exchange companions and go to our new areas. It's always a fun time! I met up with the one and only Sister Lima from the Amazon in Brazil! She lives near the Manaus Temple. She is so much fun. She also has an incredible testimony, every time she bears it to me each day and such a simple way. I feel the spirit so strongly. I can tell, as always, but very specially, we are going to see a lot of miracles together in Toyohashi. As we arrived in Toyohashi on Tuesday night, we were welcomed to our brand-new apartment. Not just new to us, literally brand-new. We are taking the stickers off of furniture and everything. We are so lucky! Sister missionaries have not been here for 17 years. The ward has been so welcoming and loving. I'm overwhelmed with the amount of love that I'm drowning in....

ブルーワ姉妹 Hello! I love Jesus and I love missionary work! This week I am transferring from Matsumoto to TOYOHASHI! it's right next to Okazaki, in the same zone I started out in. So excited for a new adventure. I learned how important preparation is this week, especially in 3 Nephi 4:18. We can prepare for all battles this life will bring by studying and acting upon the words of the prophets. So, be more ready than I was in this Zone Photo for whatever's next! Love you! Sister Brewer
