WOO HOO!

 Whats up everyone! Im back with another email! So much has happened since last week! 

(also sorry about the abrupt ending on my last email, I ran out of time lol, probably will happen to this one too)

OK! First things first!

Hiroshima! Yea so we went to Hiroshima for Zone Conference last week! Our friend drove us to the station and we just missed our train so we had  to wait an hour for the next one. We wanted to go see the dome site thing but didnt have time. What we did have time for was Hiroshima Okonomiyaki! That stuff is great! I can't explain it so please just look it up and then you'll understand. I love President and Sister Boss! They are amazing! Our amazing APs are also pretty fire! They were MTC Companions lol. 

Next! We came back to Shimonoseki and had a few fire lessons with our friend Matsumoto san! The old guy whos english is strangely good. He is awesome and we've talked alot about baptism!

Today! By far the most productive Pday yet (Trip with the friend and member and then an FSY activity were fun but not very good "preparation"). We finally got our bikes! Mine got fixed Saturday night! We picked it up today and bought Elder Miller's bike! Then we went to 2nd Street and I bought a very nice backpack for exchanges and buying groceries!

We are planning on inviting Matsumoto san to be baptized this week! 

Elder Miller is just awesome! His brother gets home from his mission on wednesday, that will be difficult! Please pray for him!

Also please pray for Elder J. His dad passed away suddenly last week.

I love you all so much!

One thing that was very apparent to me this week was how uncertain life is, but how certain we can become through the knowledge we have of the Plan of Salvation. On the Gospel Library app I watched a video about a family whos father died in the military. The mom was left along with 7 kids, early teens to toddlers. That would be so hard. Life would be a whirlwind, but through Jesus Christ she has been able to press on and be ok. God can make everything ok no matter where you are or what has happened. Trust in Him and follow His teachings and He will bless you. That is what He wants. To bless you.

I love yall so much again! I finished this one! Its not as beautiful as I would want but it is what I know to be true! Apply that message to your life today!

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...
