Dear Everyone,
This has been a notable week for me, namely because I am no longer a teenager, but am now officially an adult! Yay!
Thank you everyone for that incredible birthday package. I almost didnt get it, because the post office tried to deliver it TWICE in 3 days when we werent home, but I finally got it last night!
It is so good to hear from everyone, and the american food was so beautiful. I pulled out the bricks of cheese and everyone in the apartment was in tears. This is a big deal. We'll definitely be making that pizza soon. Also the peanut butter was a super rare treat. Thank you for the incredible gifts, they made our day (and probably our month too).
So another week goes by and Im a year older. Im still the same old me. It was a good week full of experiences though. Some of the highlights;
1. We got to meet President and Sister Albrecht! They introduced themselves to us and explained some of the new changes. One is, P-day is now going to be on Monday instead of Thursday (in effect starting next week). Which means that This next monday Ill be sending the next email, so dont be surprised.
They are extremely nice, very spiritual and have strong plans for the mission. This is going to be an excellent finishing year of my mission with them.
2. We met a guy on the street who was going to propose to his girlfriend that day. Way cool!
3. We got a Laotian Book Of Mormon, for that one guy we met last week, the secretary to the ambassador of Laos. Its HUGE, takes up the whole desk, and has a coloring-book-esque picture section. Very cool. If we get in contact with him again well have to give it to him.
Information on Investigators;
- Kamada - interested in the gospel, wants to know more is reading/praying a little to find out. He'll continue to learn and hopefully get answers to his questions via the spirit, but what he needs is to come to church on Sundays. His part-time job is right durring church so he can never come. Perhaps just pray that an opportunity to come might happen soon
- Takamori - He is so nice. He loves the gospel, tries so hard to do everything. The hard thing is quitting cigarrettes. Maybe pray that he might have the strength to quit. It is so hard for him.
And beyond that there's not really anyone else we're working with too much.
Some funny stories from Shibuya;
1. There was a man inside this little red wheeled robot capsule thing, that was playing music and rolling around the sidewalks. Wierd. I got videos.
2. Elder Haight and Morris are big on movies, so over this 5 weeks together they have prepared a list of 300 movies that they recommend. Insane.
Im sure there's more but I seem to have forgotten. Ill have to write them down when I think of them on my new cool 'hand-tatoo to-do list'. Its really handy. Anyways,
Hope everyone is enjoying it up wherever you may be! Have fun, good luck!
-Thank you!
-Love,
Elder Mumford
