Gratitude in the work

Please pray for:

Rina- Came to chruch this week! Elder Johnson gave a fire talk about the Plan of Salvation and then 2nd hour we taught her the Plan of Salvation, gonna invite to be baptized this week!

Kakeru- On baptismal date, we have a few important lessons! 

Nanami- On baptismal date as well, please pray for her to have spiritual experiences!

Shiori- Invited to be baptized but wanted some time to think about it, I think it should be good!

Rara- Also invited to be baptized, talking to her parents (super busy high school student)

Meirin- Said she wants to be baptized but needs to act first.

Motoaki- Super great, already believes in something similar to the Plan of Salvation, seemed excited to read the Book of Mormon.

Chibana Kaicho- Our Branch Presdient is just amazing, thank Heavenly Father for him! He beat me up twice at chruch because I accidentally said I wanted to eat his cats and because I was funny when I was being a computer tech.

President and Sister Boss- Our new mission president! They are so awesome, we had a zoom with them and I'll get to meet them in a few weeks at Zone Conference!

This week I feel like there were two big points of study, choices and teaching. I listened to and studied from President and Sister Nelson's "Choices for Eternity" which was amazing you should study from it! I also studied from a talk by Presdient Holland called "A Teacher Come From God". Fantastic. We need to be like the Savior in every way!

Gratitude is amazing! Please show your joy to everyone, especially to God! I'm so grateful that God is real and that He loves us. He can help you no matter what you are going through, and that's a promise.

I love you all!
Elder Rasmussen!

Cute sisters: What? Elder Rasmussen, you're AP?   Me: yes  Cute sisters: Do you have a car? Me: Yea!   ...  Cute sisters: Wow that's so cool!   you're so handsome, I wish I would mar...  Me: but I don't have my license so I can't drive it Cute sisters:  That's totally a joke, cute sisters don't exist while I'm a missionary, but boy do I wish I could drive.   Well! It's been a fun week! (2 Weeks, sorry last email was so bad)  Last week: So yea, transfers were crazy with the beans coming in at the same time the returning missionaries were supposed to be doing all of their stuff. My mission president is so amazing, he doesn't make the elders wear suits during the winter to meetings like ZC or other things, so I didn't sweat through my suits! This week: I've felt so much LOVE this last week! I'm not really sure why, just like, even as I'm typing this email I feel like overflowing with love from God! I've been ab...

Fukuoka???

Hello! Well, I got transferred. I'm now in Fukuoka, Japan, the biggest city in the mission! I'm companions with Elder Wendel and we are the APs (Assistant to the Mission President). It was a crazy week with all the new missionaries coming in and the old ones leaving, so lets get into it!  Tuesday: We had our mission-wide transfer announcement zoom at 9:30 pm, but President Boss called me at around 9:15 and asked if I would be willing to serve as AP. Then I started packing to leave Thursday morning! Wednesday: Finished packing and said bye to all the people in Kitakyushu Thursday: Put my suitcases in the car and drove down to Fukuoka, easiest transfer ever. We parked at the temple and took everything across the street to my new apartment.    We went to hakata station to get the trainers ready for training, and then had lunch and dinner with the new missionaries.  Friday: We ate sukiyaki at the mission home with the returning missionaries and then had a ...

I accidently started writing this in Japanese

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another weekly email! We had a nice week so buckle in. Companion exchange! I exchanged with a missionary named Elder Takamura! He just came to our mission a few weeks ago from his original assignment in New Zealand. He will finish his mission in November! It was a pretty busy exchange, we had 4 lessons right after we got back from Yamaguchi, and then the next morning before we switched back, we had 1 more lesson. We invited 2 of those 5 friends to baptism and they both didn't really go as planned, but were still really good lessons. We only had 30 minutes to go streeting/housing, but it was super yokatta (good)! After I finished talking to the first people we stopped elder Takamura said something like this "Wow...this is why you have so many progressing investigators"   All I did was invite them to come unto Christ. Also we didn't even get to exchange contacts with those 2 people. But yea, I think that the exchange was really good for E...
