This week we went to Sapporo for Mission Tour. We had Pres. Ringwood of the
Asian North area come and speak to us. He taught us about the spirit, and ways
that we can see more baptisms. There wasn't really a theme to it. To be entirely
honest, I'm not sure if he actually prepared anything. He came down and asked if
we had any questions, and then the rest of his talk was about those questions.
He expounded on Moroni chapter 10, and it was very interesting. You should all
go back and read it again. Get deep into it. Moroni EXORTS us to do 8 things. I
challenge you to find those 8 things, and then doing those things, pray again to
receive the confirmation of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.
So yeah that was really cool. Other than that we have just been doing a lot
of finding. Still haven't had to much success from it, but we do have some
prospective's that are looking OK. Yup other than that, haven't had a lot going
on this week. We are going today to the Abashiri Prison. Abashiri is well known
for the old prison it used to have, and they made a museum for it that we are
going to today. There is also an actual prison that all of the really bad people
go to here. Its basically the place where if the FBI's most wanted were in
Japan, and got caught, they would go there before being extradited. Kind of
exciting. I'll send you pictures of that next week. Just while I'm thinking of
it, Next week I'll probably say this again, but in 2 weeks, P-Day is changed
from that Monday, to the Wednesday. So in 2 weeks when I don't email, don't
worry, I am alive and well. We are just receiving IPAD TRAINING!!!!! Along with
that includes getting to use Facebook for mission purposes. I have heard a lot of
rumors about how that works, and it seems like one thing that we are required to
do is block all of our previous friends, or something like that. So once again,
if that happens I promise I still love you, I'm just trying to be obedient.
Don't know to many details about that yet though so... yeah.
Hope you all have a wonderful week. Love you all.
