I saw Elder De Andrade again! This time with pictures! Yes! He's doing great as usual!
We had an awesome Sunday this past week, we haven't had normal church for a while since we had the Sapporo temple dedication and stake conference. But! Now we're back in business. We were able to get our boys Tou San and Keisuke San, and also our recent convert Shintaro San is still putting in work and he came as well. It was great to see the work meet Tou and Keisuke and continue building their relationships with them. It was so great when they would just be sitting there and someone would come and talk with them. If you see some at church you don't know, please talk with them! It helps so much more than you know!
There was a really simple experience this past week that really stuck out to me. We were walking to the train station, and in front of us was this business man walking in the same direction. There are about a million and one business men in Tokyo, so that's pretty normal, but walking beside him is his little daughter who reaches up and they both walk together to the train station. He drops her off at the bus stop, and keeps going on. What stuck out is that the man looked exactly like every other business man, nothing really special looking about him. But I could see just by the way he was walking and going with his daughter how much he cared for her. We have no way of knowing who people are, what their hearts are like. All I do know is that they are all God's children, and they all love and deserve to be loved. Go and show someone a bit more kindness, love your family a bit more, serve a
stranger. Just go out there and love how Christ would have you live, and you will change the world.
I love you all so much! Thank you for your letters and support. You're all the best!
Elder Nelson
The one and the only, Elder De Andrade
