Hello from the North Pole!

Hello from the North Pole!

Just kidding. This week was so freezing! it rained and hailed and was sunny and windy all in one day. every day. it was so wierd. BUt today is great weather! I am so happy . weather is Tenki in Japanese.

This week we had a lesson with Mori San who is a really special wonderful person. he has a baptism date! But he was sick Sunday so I think we have to push it back. We taught him about faith in Jesus Christ and how when we rely on the Lord and are obedient to his commandments we are able to have peace about our circumstances.

We also met with a man named Hayashi san. It was the hardest lesson I have taught. His question was why if God loves us and is powerful would he let his children kill each other? He has such a strong testimony that our bodies are sacred and our lives are important. Every soul is important. We used the book of Mormon to help explain the nature of god. We are going back on Wednesday for another lesson. He asked me to ask other members of our faith why Christians kill each other? I said I would ask you all so please if you have an answer- let me know. I gave him my oppinion and shared some stories from the BOM but I would love help from the outside. He is the most humble person I think ive ever met.

We had a little miracle this week! Our Less active missionary couple caught reactivation and dendo fire and are coming back to church! we had dinner at their house on thanksgiving and I seriously gained about ten pounds. You think after about eight hundered plates of sushi that you are done. But no, you forgot about the ice cream. Anyways I am excited to work with them and that they have reactivated themselves so to speak. We have been praying for them and wondering what to do so this is an answer to our prayers. WIth another less active, we invited him to church and he came! I am so happy!!!! Another LA on our top ten we have been visiting called today and asked for a preisthood blessing so we are going with the elders to his house after pday.


We also had 5 investigators at church!! WHATT??? yes fast sundays are the best. We also had a great mogi (role play) lesson and Nabe for dinner at a members house last night. They are so nice! Nabe is pretty much the best soup ever. Except not for Moms. Moms is still way better. But it was really yummy and Im going to make it this week.

We had a zone conference the day after thanksgiving and had a thanksgiving feast together! I made the desserts; apple crisp, pumkin pie, peach cobbler, blueberry cobbler, no bake cookies, corn flake cookies, and white chocolate popcorn! Whewf I had a busy morning! It was great- our theme for this month is NO FEAR! We set some big goals this month but I know we can achieve them!

Okay so funny thing- when we were housing at night, this guy across the street walks up to his house from his car, sees us, and then does like fifty judo moves, and casually goes inside his house. Hhahahahahahah it was so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thanks for your love, letters, and prayers. Love you all- have a great Christmas season and remember the reason!!!!!!!



Love, Sister Nelson
