Did the platypus come from beavers and ducks, or did ducks and beavers come from the platypus?

Greetings and salutations, o readers of the email. I hope you all had a great week! It's been a crazy week, and I can't believe it's time to write another email, but here we are!

We got to attend the temple on Tuesday! As always, that was awesome. I love being able to attend so regularly, I've learned that every time you go, you can receive guidance and directions from the Lord, and you can feel His love more fully. I encourage all of you to go as often as you can!

The reason this week was so crazy was it was transfer week, which meant going to pick up and welcome all the new missionaries who came into the mission, and also send home all of the missionaries who were finishing their missions. It was such an interesting experience to see both sides of a mission, getting to see how far I've come and how much more I have left to learn.
I love how the new missionaries have so much energy and excitement, they're just excited to be in Japan and talk to real Japanese people and eat real Japanese food. I felt God's love for them and felt just how much He would guide and bless them. God really does care about us. I know that.

I love you all! I hope you have a great week!

Sorry I don't have more pictures, I'll try and get some that were taken this past week and send them next time. Love you!
