Hey!
We get to eat at members a couple of times a week if we set up appointments. Last night we ate at the Nakamura:s and had sukiyaki! Holy cow it was great!! A great way to end a fast and begin another one! Haha...if we tell members we want to meet with them and have a family home evening or something they always do too! So it's just a matter of scheduling! You guys are so great to the missionaries. Now as one myself, I totally realize that. Strong members are so good to have and a great help to the missionaries!
It officially has gotten cold! It snowed like all Saturday and so dendo was a site! The roads were pretty slick so I had to be careful and we had to go pretty slow. I am going to check the price on mountain tires today and see what they are like. it's a thought...
But thankfully no wrecks or anything lately! haha....
Well hey love ya!

Hey Everybody!!
Well another cold and snowy week gone by and I can't believe it!! And I have officially past the 6 month mark! Woot!
Well this week was full of great insights from zone conference and companion relations through fasting and prayer. Today is our third fast since Thursday and we are really trying to get this area into shape investigator wise! Lots of help has come and this morning actually my amazing senior comp had the impression to call an old investigor we put back on the board and she finally answered. We found out she has been in the hospital and not able to call or get calls. What a miracle Koyama choro followed an impression. God truly knows us and always watches out for us. Kenta, however, might have moved...we put brownies on his door Friday and last night they were still there...We haven't been able to get ahold of him or anything lately and have visited everyday...so as of now we just want to know where he is!!
but nonetheless, God continues to know our needs and desires and helps us in achieving what needs to be done!!
My testimony is also continuing to grow everyday from experiences like this and my love of the gospel is becoming massive!!
It just amazes me what we have in store for us as members and also just children of a loving Heavenly Father!
One thing I found this morning in personal study was from this month's Liahona. It is Elder Maxwells address from Apr 2002 called Consecrate thy Performance... in the section *Acknowledge Gods Hand* it talks about stepping stones...meaning us doing things that may be outside of our comfort zone in order to become evermore like Christ. As a missionary of Christ I am finding these kinds of experiences all the time!! It is an amazing growing experience and I love being able to see what happens when we dedicate and consecrate ourselves fully to the Lord. Again, He knows us SO well and always wants to help us become better and improve. What a marvelous amazing principle or truth! I love it!
As we all continue in this process I hope and pray we are finding these stepping stone experiences of our own to become evermore Christlike and showing the *Christ* spirit, which is the real meaning or *Christmas* sprit. And always remember, no matter what, God loves you and knows you!
Well, thats about it for this week...thanks again for all your continued support and love. it is truly felt and needed!
and no, no accidents happened this week! haha, we are safe and loving life!!
I love you all so much!
The church is without a doubt TRUE!
