As I
was studying my scriptures in the morning, it got a little cold, so I
decided to turn on the space heater. As I kept reading my scriptures
I felt this warm burning feeling, and I thought, " this is the warm
burning that all those people must have been talking about over the
pulpit for all these years." But nope, it was just my winter coat
burning.....
This week I saw a video that I thought was so good. Its a mormon Message video.
Maybe
you could watch it for Family Home Evening or something.
This general Conference was really good. I think that there was a few big major themes to it.
I think that Gaining a Testimony of Joseph Smith and a current Prophet of the church today was really emphasized. I
think that setting and making our priorities right was also a big
thing, not letting small things distract us from our Eternal goal.
"Eternal Perspective" And the last was making the Sacrament a more spiritual experience.
As
I was thinking about the sacrament this week I thought about how
surprisingly different the Church in Japan or at least in Tohoku (Sendai
Japan) is from the America. In America during the sacrament you will see
countless people on their phones. Yes some are looking at scriptures
and things, but a lot are not. In Japan you will not see that anywhere.
When the sacrament is passed, you will see every head bowed in prayer.
Well
to update you on the work here in Hirosaki; Elder Kugai and I have
been trying to help our investigators strengthen their faith in Christ.
Narita
san wants to try following more commandments to see his faith grow. So
we are planning to use the bible to introduce a commandment and
reinforce it with the Book of Mormon. Because he has a particular
interest in Christ and his life.
Elder Kugai and I have been doing some Streeting to help him open
up more to talking with everyone. It is such a good learning experience
for me too.
Well to update you on my back, The
pain has moved into my right leg and is constant. But Japanese doctors
use every excuse to have a day off so there hasn't been any doctors
offices or Hospitals open to go to. But my Branch mission leader is
becoming a doctor and he graduates next spring so I have been working
with him, and he thinks that I have nerve that might be pinched by
something causing pain. But Hopefully I will get things figured out
soon.
Love you all,
Elder Nebeker
P.S. Since receiving this letter from Jason, we checked with his mission President's wife about Jason's back. They arranged some tests at the clinic where they determined he has a herniated disc. He reported to Sister Smith that he is doing better. His mission President is an Orthopedic surgeon, so we feel very blessed to have them there to help him.
