So, this week was transfer week and I have a new companion. His name is Elder Wells. He's a pretty young missionary, but I like him a lot. Pretty quiet, but has a great heart. The poor guy was stuck with one of the most difficult missionaries in the mission last transfer and was about ready to kill himself. Things are quite different than with Elder Dursteler. He was pretty amazing. Still is. It's nice that he's still in my apartment. Also, he and I are going to Fukuoka tonight to be trained by president.....flying again. This is so much fun! But yeah. It's pretty great stuff.

Elder Wells and I have been really focused on helping K san. He's so close to Baptism, but he's been really struggling with smoking. He hasn't smoked for more than a week, but that's because he has no money to use. He's afraid that when he gets money, he will smoke again because he REALLY wants to smoke. Well, the other problem we were facing was that he couldn't get to church on his own. He has no way to get himself there....so we gave him enough money to use the monorail.....and he didn't show...

I was so worried that he had bought some cigarettes, but when we went to visit him, he had just slept in. He had the money in a little case and said that he was not going to spend it on anything, but getting himself to church. So, I'm really grateful that he's showing so much faith. Unfortunately, he didn't get to church, but his conversion is still coming little by little.

Other than that, we have really just been settling in to being new companions.

We are finding out that the biggest issue with some obedience issues is that some missionaries are not focused on the mission. They aren't focused on the people. President just shut down music in the mission and said if it isn't Motab or EFY it's not ok because people were listening to normal music like Pompeii by Bastille.....Yeah. I wasn't even home when that song came out, but everyone in the mission "Justified" it for some reason. It was pretty bad. So, now we are working with some disobedience out here. So that's a thing. Something that Elder Dursteler does not do well with. He gets pretty mad when there are disobedience issues. It's scary. Haha, It's really easy to be obedient around him. Not that I had a problem before.

So that's what's going on. I'm really happy and I love this ward so much. Things are pretty stress free. My biggest concern is what tie I'm going to wear to Fukuoka tomorrow. (BTW thanks for the package. I just barely got it!)

I love you all and we'll keep killing it out here,

Elder Low
