Tani kyodai's Baptism!

Hello friends and family! Yet another week has come and gone, this time I wasn't even in my area for half the week!

Breakdown!

Tani Kyodai's baptism! 
Our friend brother Tani got baptized on Saturday and confirmed on Sunday! He is such an awesome member! He was baptized by elder ware and confirmed by Brother Ishida! like 10-15 members came to the baptism and they all gave him little presents!

Exchanges!
It was my first time exchanging out of my area for the last 3 transfers! In yatsushiro I never exchanged in kumamoto because my first dl didn't want to exchange, and the 2nd one wanted to come to yatsushiro! I went to Ube with Elder Sequio! We had an amazing ping pong night where one of the sisters friends came and I got to chat with him for a little bit! He's awesome! Then the next morning I went to Hofu and exchanged with Elder Sasa! He just transferred from Ishigaki 3 weeks ago so it was fun to talk with him about everyone on our little island!

My first nap in a minute!
I took a nap today since we weren't doing anything and that's why I'm rushing this email a little bit.

Sanpo at the castle!
I made a post on one of the social media websites that we use to find people, this one was just like going on a walk together. Someone responded and we went on Saturday after we got home from hofu (we literally were so busy Saturday, we had to leave hofu at like 6:55 to get to the first of our 5 appointments for the day, and then at night we had the baptism) I like being busy. Ok but at the castle there was a cool festival thing happening with lots of cool drums! Video on the album! also there were like 500000000000 people at the bread festival at the park across from the castle!


Ok I love yall! We have my first Zone Conference as ZL this Thursday! Hope it goes well!

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...
