Couldn't get aHEAD

June 5, 2016

First off, it's my mom's birthday on the 10th so shout out to her.

You're the best mom! I love you so much. Also my buddy Dallin hits his

year mark on the 10th, so shout out to him too!

If anyone else wants a shout out just let me know.

Honestly I don't have a ton to email about this week because I had a

migraine that didn't go away for about 4 or 5 days. It started earlier

in the week and I didn't really say anything about it to my companion

and kind of pushed through that day, but I went back that night in so

much pain. I was basically in constant pain until I fell asleep and

then when I woke up it was back. It was a really hard week for me

physically.

Some days I had to push through just to get to the appointments and

then once we got back my head hit the pillow faster than the time it

took for my companion to close the door behind us and walk in the

apartment.

Butttttttttt don't worry because the week ended pretty good with one

of the best experiences I have had yet in Japan. One of my favorite

investigators cut my hair. He is such a G! He cut my companion's hair

a couple weeks back and it just made me want the experience so bad! I

learned how to cut my own hair pretty decent while being out on the

mission, but this experience was something that I recommend to

everyone.

In Japan they not only cut your hair, but shave your face, massage

your face, massage your back, shave your neck, etc... It's amazing.

I'll send lots of pictures.

We then taught him a lot about Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon.

His name is kitami San (北見さん) and he converted to Protestantism a

while back, but thinks we are trying to get rid of his bible and throw

in a Book of Mormon. We taught him about how it is ANOTHER testament

of Christ and how we study both together to complement each other. We

said the same thing in the past, but I think he was actually listening

this time because he seemed to really understand what we were saying

and also committed to read from the Book of Mormon. After all, reading

from the Book of Mormon does bring us closer to Christ. We know he

loves Christ so during our companion study hour we prayed and searched

for scriptures that he would like relating to Christ. We then wrote

them on a piece of paper and handed it to him. He seemed pumped, so

hopefully things will starting speeding up from here.

Grateful to be out here and devoting two years of my life. Some might

see it as a burden to leave everything for 2 whole years, but the

longer I'm here the more I see it as a privilege to give back to our

loving Heavenly Father and his Beloved Son Jesus Christ. Love you all

bye bye

敬具 (sincerely yours)
