Aaron's letter 8-31-09

Hey Everyone!!!
Well this week was quite the week for email!!!! Thanks for all who contributed!!!
Today was transfer calls and the news is......Elder Brox is going to Ise, a city closer to Nagoya with lots of ocean side, and I am getting awesome Elder Mulder!!! He is American can you believe it!!!??? haha, I totally love him and can't wait to get him tomorrow.
This past week has been so awesome! Elder Brox and I have had a great time thinking about our investigators and planning for each of them getting baptized.
And good news....Tai, one of our chinese girl investigators who came Mizuguchi`s baptism, is getting baptized in September!! She totally loved the baptism she saw and said she too would like to do it! So we would love all your prayers that she will now accept all the commandments and progress foreward with power!!
I have felt the love of God so much in my life lately. As I have discussed with Him my life and what's going on and what I feel, He has then answered through many amazing means! I have also learned some amazing things from the Book of Mormon this past week! I just love it so much and am amazed at how much can be learned from it!
Specifically we were challenged to read Joseph Smith history from Sister Traveller and pray about it after interviews last week. Well, as I did this the next day, I was able to feel like I never have before about the Joseph Smith experience, that it is true. Joseph Smith truly met God and Jesus Christ. Furthermore, as we too pray for understanding, God will do likewise as he did with Joseph of old and answer our humble prayer.
I can testify of this and would like to challenge each of you reading this email to do the same. Open Joseph Smith history, read, and pray. I can promise that by so doing, if your heart is contrite and desire humble, you will feel something special. Your testimony will be reburned within you. It is something you don't want to let pass by. Do it.
I love you all and appreciate your many prayers and letters my way!
