Well its been another hard week but also a rewarding week. Its cool to see how many tender mercys god sends your way when you just simply pray for his help.
I had the opportunity to listen to M. Russell Ballard this week and that was really cool and inspirational. Hes such a cool dude and he really knows how to make you feel empowered and inspired.
We had a lesson this week about how the first thing an investigator needs to know is not only that god listens to our prayers but that he answers them and personal revelation is possible for everyone that is seeking it and that was so cool to me because it had never occurred to me that the rest of the world doesn't know that if they'll pray to god he will answer their questions.
I've learned really quickly this week that the best thing to combat home-sickness is laughter and I'm so grateful for my district and how they're not to serious but still love the gospel and always make my day a million times better.
I just want to say how grateful I am for families this week. Without there support I'd probably be home right now because this is way harder than I ever could have thought, but I now know after reading an email i got this week that it doesn't matter how strong you think your testimony is or how well you know the gospel it just matters that you go out there and serve and love the people the best you can. Thank you all for the letters I've gotten they've really carried me through this week.
Me and Elder Shimata,

Drawing on the desks, and I'm not smoking its a caramel apple sucker.
Went for a district temple walk, it was cool because no one else was there really.
