Kazoku! (family!) whats up with the no
letters or email!? just kidding. The MTC is fantastic! Much better than
what people portray it as, although the days seem like they last forever
but once the day is over it feels fast. if that makes sense? Anyways
Nihongo (japanese) is really hard, the first day we were flooded with
japanese. But i'm really starting to get the hang of it I think. My
Companion is Elder Rasmussen, he is super nice and a little shy but the
kid is a ninja, literally a ninja. He does extreme martial arts and can
do all sorts of crazy moves! There are 14 missionaries in my district,
and lucky me I get to be their Leader! yep I'm the district leader, so I
basically get their mail for them and make decisions when were not sure
what to do and I get to interview them and make sure that they are
enjoying their MTC experience. Everyone in my district is amazing and we
all get along great, everyone loves the MTC in my district, so far,
which makes it easy on my part! Anyways, yesterday we taught our first
lesson in Nihongo, WOW! it was hard but me and my companion were able to
get through it, we taught tomohiro san an investigator. We asked him if
he believed in God, He said that he knows that other people do but he
wasn't sure himself who God is. Because we knew little Japanese we
simply bore our testimony to him in japanese and and asked him to pray
to God to see if he is real and then we ended in a closing prayer. He
seemed really confused and a little lost, but hey we did our best to
communicate! Later that day we got to teach a investigator in english
while we were in class, the spirit was so strong and was testifying to
our investigator that what we were saying was true. After our lesson in
English one of the Elders raised his hand and asked how does this help
us learn japanese? I can't remember exactly what the teacher said but
his answer was so good and the spirit was so strong when we were talking
about this and he taught us about our purpose as a missionary and that
we shouldn't learn japanese to know japanese. We should learn japanese
to Help the japanese people come unto Christ. It's not for us it's for
them so that they can know of the truth. I wish I could remember what he
said cause the spirit was so strong and it made our entire district
want to try that much harder! anyways, the food here is better than I
thought. Most things are deep fried but you do have options to eat
healthy. And Oh baby there is Chocolate Milk!! mmmm so good! Once I
figure out how to send pictures I will but I'm not sure quite yet.
