Costco haul from the STLs

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 able to really see how much the spirit of contention takes away from the spirit when people around me (not my companion, he's perfect) get upset. 

Ryan's baptism! Ryan, one of the investigators of another set of elders got baptized yesterday! He just came from China to Japan 2 months ago, but he first met missionaries when he was in Denmark like 7 or 8 years ago! Then of course, going to china was a bit hard for that, but when he came to Japan one of his friends told him about the church here and so he just walked in and got baptized like a few weeks later. Ive had the opportunity to help teach and to talk to Ryan as he's gone through the discussions, and I can testify that he has already been changing. He was such an angel before, but the light of Christ shines through his countenance and its so subarashii!!

The clutch Costco run

So since I sadly can't drive the car, the STLs in Fukuoka are using it, and today they went to Costco (30-45 mins away) they bought pizza and muffins and then we had a party at the church (3 of our districts bdays are this month). I'm finishing writing this in between rounds of knockout in the church. 

We had mlc and 2 exchanges last week so it was a little bit busy. Also zone conferences start tomorrow so we had to prepare our training yesterday and this morning.

Tonight we have a lesson with our friend named Bishnu! He actually had, and passed his baptismal interview 7 months ago when he was in one of my previous areas, but he broke his leg and then had to go back to Nepal for 3 months and fix his visa. He just moved down here, but yesterday I found out he's actually on the other side of the boundary in a different ward. Today is our first time meeting him in the 7 months so I hope it goes well!

Ok I'm gonna go now. But I want to testify that the love of Christ and God I'd greater than everything else! Sometimes it's harder to feel that other times, but if you do the things to bring yourself closer to him, then you will feel in greater.
