| The Tokyo Temple! |

| Yummy Raw Fish! |
Anyway, I
started off the week with exchanges with an awesome elder named Elder Jackson.
He is super fun and likes a lot of the same things I do! We did a ton of
finding, mostly street contacting and handing out flyers. Yay us. :P
The rest of the
week was good. I am getting along with my companion better. We can work together effectively enough for
missionary work. It can be painful at times, but it does work.
Today was Temple
P-Day. This is why I had P-Day on Tuesday instead of Monday. Once a transfer (6
weeks), all the missionaries in a zone can go to the temple. It's also the only
day you are authorized to leave your zone and area boundaries for P-Day, since
the temple is not inside of it, so we had a fun day poking around Tokyo. I had
some sweet sushi, went through a science museum (one of the few activities you
can do as a missionary), and even went shopping for snacks! Tons of fun!

I took several
pictures which I am going to let my parents comb through, since I am almost out
of time. Sorry for the briefness of this letter, I'll make a longer one next
week!
My spiritual
thing I found is in Moroni:
7 And again I
speak unto you who deny the revelations of God, and say that they are done away,
that there are no revelations, nor prophecies, nor gifts, nor healing, nor
speaking with tongues, and the interpretation of tongues;
8 Behold I say
unto you, he that denieth these things knoweth not the gospel of Christ; yea,
he has not read the scriptures; if so, he does not understand them.
9 For do we not
read that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in him there is no
variableness neither shadow of changing?
10 And now, if
ye have imagined up unto yourselves a god who doth vary, and in whom there is
shadow of changing, then have ye imagined up unto yourselves a god who is not a
God of miracles.
11 But behold, I
will show unto you a God of miracles, even the God of Abraham, and the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and it is that same God who created the heavens
and the earth, and all things that in them are. (Mormon 9)
I often have to
talk about this, since we believe in continuing revelation. Why would God, who
is an unchanging, loving Heavenly Father decide to just stop giving his kids
help? I am super happy that He continues to help us today, because we all,
missionaries especially, need His help! Life is much easier when you know you
have a source of help in heaven who knows all and knows exactly how to help
you! It may not seem that way at times, but in the end, it is all for your
experience!
Well, back to
the work! I'll talk to you all next week!
