Jared's Mission

Hello everyone! Elder Rasmussen back for another transfer in Shimonoseki! (I didn't get transfered!) Me and Elder Miller are gonna go off this transfer and see some miracles! Last week I really felt like I'm becoming a tool in the hand of the Lord! There were so many times where I felt like he was guiding and directing me in many different ways. I'll share one that was really cool! Korean Book of Mormon!  Last Saturday we had an appointment for lunch and for dinner so we wouldn't be returning after we left at 9:30am. Before we left I was waiting for Elder Miller to finish getting ready and in my head I was like "hmm, what does God need to me to bring with me today?" as you do before you leave the apartment and then I thought "I should bring a Korean Book of Mormon." I grabbed one and a Japanese Book of Mormon. Previously I had talked to korean people two times and so I was like hmm, not sure why but I need to bring one! So I brough it and then while ...

  Hello hello hello! I want to tell you all that I love yall! Today we got to go to a place called Tsuno Shima! Chelsea shimai drove us there with the Sisters and Kato san! After we drove around there for a bit we went to Chelsea shimais house where she and kato san built a pizza stove! We made some oishi pizza! This is the last week of the transfer so if the APs weren't lying then I'm gettinig transfered but I don't know! I've only been here for 5 weeks so it'd be so sad to leave. The branch here is so nice! Matsumoto san hasn't decided to get baptized yet but I think he hopefully will! He said that God guides him always and I asked recently how he has been guided and he said "By telling me to always come to this church." I think he needs to understand what that means!  I love our Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders so much! They are amazing, I hope if I stay here they all do aswell! This past week I got to go on an exchange with my amazing ZL Mi...

K onnichiwa beautiful friends and family! I'm so happy that you are reading this! I love you all so much! Sorry about last weeks email! That explosion happened the Monday night of the week before! We had to go to Kitakyushu for the night because they said the apartment wasn't 100% safe. That was kinda fun! We talked to the old grandma who's apartment had the explosion to see if we could help her with any clean up or anything like that but she said it was fine. She left the stove on when she left and then all the gas blew up at once. The member living in the apartment building across the street heard the little boom and figured someone like crashed their car outside. We were at the church (and surprising enough there was not a single person inside the apartment building when it happened. Everyone is good and only that apartment was damaged. (Maybe smoke damage next door) But yea!  This week we got to watch general conference with the branch! It was so awesome! Crazy how much...

It's currently 10:37pm, we are on a train to Kitakyushu to stay at the Elders' apartment. Something exploded on the 2nd floor of our apartment (we live on the 4th floor) and they couldn't promise that it was 100% safe so we decided to go to a different area for the night.  We are good! No time for more I love yall!
