Happiness

This week was kind of crazy. Malcom Choro and my companion Oshima Choro had to prepare for zone training meeting and then for mission president interviews on Monday. For most of the week we have had to plan our days together, all four of us. Oshima Choro and I would go in and sit on the tatami with the other two missionaries, and then Oshima Choro would talk about zone stuff with Malcolm Choro in Japanese for a while, then we would finally figure out that I would just be working with Chung Choro for so and so amount of time, and then he and I would sit down and plan how long we should find on the street, and how many Book of Mormon we wanted to give out, and how many people we wanted to talk to, and so on and so forth. After that we all rushed to be in our futons on time and I would just kind of lay there while Malcolm Choro talked and we finally all got to saying our prayer. 

Every night I try and tell my companions why I love them, but we don't have bikes right now because of the recent transfers and so we are running a lot, and I am just so tired by the end of the day that I try and stay awake until Elder Oshima Ends his personal prayer, so that I can tell him, but I always fall asleep before he does... Man I love missionary work.

The other day, Chung Choro and I had four or five hours to just go out and dendo (missionary work/ finding) and we taught something like ten totsuzen (sudden or quick) lessons to the people that we talked to, and gave out four Book of Mormon. It was Awesome, and I was Dog-tired when we got back, but I was thrilled with the work. We always go "streeting" whenever we have anytime that is not filled. Yesterday Chung Choro and I went out again for a little bit and He said "I'm happy to be doing dendo, I don't even know why, I'm just happy!" 

Man! what a blessing that was to hear! What I change in tune from what he had been singing  before then! 

This week looks like it is going to be jam-packed too, I'm looking forward to it. Oh... before I forget, Nagasaki got to welcome a new member this week into the branch. His name is Yamasaki Hirouki. I found him with Harvey Choro and Malcolm Choro before the transfer ended. What a blessing! He is the fourth baptism I have seen. I am so blessed! He is so amazing!

I know the Church is true. I know the Savior lives. His Atonement is the single-most important event ever to occur. Prayers are answered and Heavenly Father is merciful.

Love to all.

Especially Family, during the Easter season.
