Hiroshima ▶️🚄💺🗾▶️Kagoshima

Hello! Me and my comp spent like $500-$600 on travel last week. 😵 We had 3 zone conferences, one at the top of our mission in Hiroshima and the other at the bottom in Kagoshima! 

I got to see lots of past comps from lots of my previous areas! Shout out Elder Phillips from the MTC, Elder Miller from Shimonoseki, Elder Billings from Yatsushiro, and Elder Ross from Yatsushiro! I didn't take pictures with all of them 😭😭

Our training for Zone conference training has been good! The one at Kagoshima was probably the least good but it was still ok. The ZLs in Kago had us do Book of Mormon charade, video on the album!

As we've been doing our zone conference trainings I've been testifying about my previous experiences from my mission. As I've been talking and testifying about them it has helped me realize how special they are, and how much the spirit has guided me. 

We were still able to have like 4 lessons in our area last week and in one we invited Jaesu San to Baptized! The invitation was good, but he wasn't able to commit yet. He went home to pray about it!

I know that Jesus lives! I know that he leads this work and guides us through the spirit!

In the name of Jesus Christ, amen!

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...

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...
