Well Akiyama kyodai got the Aaronic priesthood this Sunday. That was good. He is such and amazing guy. I love him a lot.
Besides that mostly we did finding, nothing really happened this week but that. We prayed one day to find someone at a 3:30 and to be able to give him the book of Mormon. At exactly the time that we had prayed about, we found someone. There were a lot of Potential investigators that seem to have a lot of potential. The mission, under Kaicho`s direction, is trying to focus on finding the elect of God and so that is what we are praying to do. See D&C 29:1-8.
We pray to know where to go to find the elect by the Spirit. We pray that we will teach by the Spirit and we pray that we will plan by the Spirit. It is such a great work. I love the times when we know that we are receiving revelation, and when we know how to achieve the goals that we have set. (Just thinking about goals. I want to be really good at singing someday and also to be able to do Iron-man competitions.)
Well, I am not very good at this writing thing, especially with these Japanese keyboards and my English suffering. Besides that I just don't know what to write. I like the fact that there is an international airport in Kumamoto. I think that it is really cool to see the huge jets fly overhead all of the time. What cool things have humans made!
I think that of all creations on Heavenly Father`s hands, humans are the most interesting. We have an amazing history to each of us. Since coming to places that are so full of people, I have come to marvel at the Amazing Being that created us all. It is wonderful to think about all the people that God has made. When I think about it I feel that I might be able to grasp, in some small way, what God sees when He sees us. Each of us has our own weaknesses, strengths, likes, dislikes, abilities, and interests. It was God who in the beginning fashioned us from whatever we were before. I do not know how much is God`s direct work, and how much was left up to us to decide, but I think I have learned that God has a much greater roll in that aspect of our existence than I ever thought before.
Like Job, God can give and He can take away, all that we are, or possess. In Ether 12:27 we learn that He gave, or gives, weaknesses. In the same way He can give us strengths. It is not upon ourselves that we ought to rely, but on Him who can make us mighty, or who will not. It is in His Justice and His mercy that this Work rests. We are free to choose the result of that great day! I am excited to meet that day. I am excited to work, and live, and grow until that perfect day.
I love life!
I know this is Gods church.
With love,
Elder Bevan
