Aaaaaaaaand we're off to another transfer!

So, transfer week has come and gone! Elder Yamada has left my side, and in his place I now have Elder Brown. He's a way cool guy who loves to work hard ands how is getting a lot of good things done. He's from Spanish Fork, Utah, and went to Berkley for a year studying Physics.
So, things are going great here!

This week has been way good for me, for several reasons. One, with Elder Brown, we are stopping and talking like crazy with everyone, and already found some new people who have some interest. Way cool! I think the best part of all this contacting that we are getting done is that we have plenty, little opportunities to share our testimonies with people we just met. Like, in one hour, I get to share how I feel and what I know about our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Book of Mormon. It's crazy! That's probably one of the best parts I've seen about serving a mission so far, just getting to bear my soul out to people, and every time, without fail, getting a little reassurance from the Holy Ghost that what I said was true. I read an amazing talk about this called Candle of the Lord, by Elder Packer in the January 1983 Ensign. It's very inspiring and I'm so glad I get to apply all those principles in my daily life.

One of the coolest moments I've had with an investigator lesson so far happened on Sunday. We are teaching a man named Fukushima, and we're talking about faith in Christ, and we showed him the video of Christ healing a man blind from birth. I felt like I should ask him if he had ever needed something like that in his life, some help from God. He just broke down and told us all about his struggles and everything that he's had to go through. The amount of love I felt for that man was indescribable at that moment. I know that this work is the Lord's work and He wants us to help all His children come back to him, and partake of His love. I'm so glad I get to go along for the ride as the
Lord's servant and give all I can to this work.

I love you all, and hope you have a great week! Have fun listening to Christmas music on the radio!

PS They say you change on your mission, and now I can report that this is true. I now eat veggies. What.
PPS I found a good place to buy donuts. Yes.
PPPS Time flies, like, it's already November. What is life.
PPPPS I found a thing called hair wax. Not hair gel, hair wax. I now understand how anime characters style their hair. This stuff is amazing, my hair game has never been so on point.
