Popcorn popping on the Sakura trees

Hello everyone! I though the cherry blossoms were pretty last week...๐Ÿ˜ฒ

This week the popcorn really popped.

We went to fukuoka for MLC again and it was so pretty! That night we had group eikaiwa near orio station and we had to make sure that we taught a lesson separately to one of our investigators so it was OK that we were late getting to fukuoka ๐Ÿ˜‚ (if you have a lesson you can get home at 9:30 instead of 9:00) We ran from the eikaiwa to the station to catch the fast train, and then the bus in fukuoka was delayed so I think we actually got to the aps apartment at 9:31 or something, but the eta was 9:27, we tried our ใƒ™ใ‚นใƒˆ.

I went on exchanges in Nakatsu with our amazing DL, Elder Quiros!  It was fun to be in a different area! The action point I gave him was to always be looking for ways to open his mouth and share the gospel. From my perspective if you're ever stopped at a traffic light, you should pull up your bike next to someone and start talking to them. It was perfect, because when we were sitting at a park planning, a dude walked up who is interested in learning more!

Sorry we spent half of pday waiting for the Sisters to do a hike and bringing stuff into the new apartment for Elders 2.

I love Alma 7:15, we need to lay aside our sins. Through the Atonement of Christ we really can do that.

I love yall so much! Have a good week!

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...
