Aaron's latest letter March 30, 2009

Hey Family!!
Well dang, it sounds like a pretty amazing weekend took place in Utah! I would have loved to be there for the blessing of xxxxx. I can't wait to meet the little angelic girl!! I have already felt for myself of her specialness through Dad's witness of her special mission. As I read it I was completely overcome with the Spirit of confirmation. I only get that body tingling sensation around spiritual things, and I got it then. I know this family has a very special new member, her name is XXXXX.
Over here in Inuyama we have been blessed with much spirit! Sunday was by far one of the best days in the mission so far! The Yagura family all recieved baptism and I had a special witness of my own that God loves each of them. As I gave my talk, in Portuguese, I was so overcome I could only say one sentence at a time (which was good because the guy had to translate it all into Japanese anyway! haha)
I was able to baptize Janaina and Gabriel and felt so much love for them. As I stood in the water with each of them I again felt special power for each of them and stuttered through tears to say the prayer of baptism. They are a special family aided by God to get them this far. They have worked so hard and I even more know now that God aides us in carrying out His holy work.
It is such a blessing to be a missionary. This past week has really been especially full of the spirit and I know that I am called to the Holy work of Jesus Christ. I have such a strong feeling of the truth of this gospel right now as I write this email and I hope some of that conveys through email to you all.
This truly is the work of the Lord. We have Heavenly parents who aid us always. The spirit is within each of us and truly guides our way. Through Joseph Smith, all truth way once again restored to the Earth and we are the beloved benefactors that sacred experience. And furthermore, I get to share that to the people of Japan!
I know you can all feel of this for yourselves. Please strive to do so and always remember you have a loving Heavenly Father.
This is my witness of truth and it is in the name of Jesus Christ.
