So, another great week. I was super busy all week long. Haha, it was pretty crazy. Last time I emailed you, I was just preparing to head off to Fukuoka. So, yes. I went all the way to Fukuoka again on Monday, and then came back on Tuesday afternoon. It was pretty ridiculous. We had a great meeting with President and the AP's and then he kicked all the Okinawa missionaries out before the closing song and prayer because we had a plane to catch.

It was kinda crazy. We were super behind and the Recorder and the MSM were driving us to the airport. They had to stop at a Family Mart so that they could buy the tickets and we were super behind and they just kinda strolled into the Family mart. The Recorder made sure to button up his jacket. Haha, I was losing it. We were supposed to be at our gate in 3 minutes and we were ten minutes from the airport by car and the Recorder was making sure he looked like a gentleman as he walked into the store. We were all yelling from the car "RUN" but I don't know if he was super urgent. Haha, he's a great guy though. Luckily our plane was delayed so we were able to board.

Then the next day, Elder Dursteler and I had to plan for the two training meetings this week. I didn't get a ton of time with my actual companion, but we spent our time together really well. We were able to find a new investigator that we are meeting on Tuesday that was pretty solid. Also, we had TONS of fun finding.....which weird because finding can get REALLY boring sometimes. It can also be really fun, but I'm talking CRAZY fun. Here's an example:

We met one of the craziest people I have ever met. She seemed like any other lady you would contact into. Haha, she was asking questions about God and the Book of Mormon and everything. I was about to hand her the book when she asked about the second coming of Christ. I responded with the doctrinal answer. We are preparing for the day that Christ will return.....but she believed something else. "He already came" she said. I was a little confused. Then she reported that He had been killed again. Killed on the cross once. Then He came back to the Earth and was killed....again. I asked where and she said in America. BUT here's where it gets interesting. A third and final god will once again come to the earth. Except for the this god is a woman. She was very sure to make sure we knew that the third god was a woman. She said that one this woman would come to the earth, she would purify the earth and make it a place of love and joy.....and here's the best part. She hands us her flyer.

I looked at the flyer and tried SO hard not to laugh. This third and final God was preparing the earth with the help from someone from the spirit world......Walt Disney. Yes, this Flyer said in big letters "God's Disneyland" and the flyer described how we would all get to live together on the Earth with Walt Disney once more in an eternal Disneyland.

I got a kick out of this lady and I figured dad would like it too. :)

In more serious business, K san was unable to come to church again. However, we got a new ward mission leader who seems like he will really help us out. Our last mission leader didn't want members picking up K san because he thought that he needed a way to get there by himself without our help. BUT our new leader says that we should drive him to church so he can be there. I totally agree. This new mission leader is named Sakihara Tomoaki. He just returned from the Sapporo mission. Apparently, he was an AP there and the mission president emailed the bishop of our ward and told him that Elder Sakihara was the best missionary in his mission.....so this guy knows his stuff really really well. I'm really excited for him.

Also, I spent twenty dollars on mints and gum for K san to quit smoking. It was totally worth it. He was laughing and throwing the mints and gum in the air maniacally. He was so excited and has completely quit smoking and drinking. It's been a miracle. Now we are just trying to get him set on getting to church. He's really excited for General Conference so that's exciting.

Other than that, I saw Jon's Mormon Message video. (See it Here) Freaking drugs. Shoulda left the party. You know better.

Well, we'll let you know how this next week goes. It seems like it's going to be a great week. Also, president just made a goal that every companionship in the mission makes a baptismal date by Easter. I'm super set on it.

I love you all and hope you have a great week.
