Week 41: Toyama, Nagoya; Companion: Sister Macdonald

Hi everyone! 


❇️This week was so super busy. I was only in my area for 1 whole day out of the week. Basically we were in Kanazawa like the whole week. It was so much fun though!!

❤Our zone is so lucky and we got to do a shadow play of the Nativity and a little of when Christ died on the cross!! I was a lucky duck and was casted as 2 people! It required a quick costume change which made me feel nice and official. I was a shepherd and Mary Magdalene. Even though it was freezing for the performance, the spirit was so strong. We get to perform it again this week at the train station. Yay!!

🌭I went to Costco. I was unsure how I felt in there though because it was too close to home. I still enjoyed a nice hotdog and the stomach ache after too. President was encouraging us to walk around and get samples, but then our pizza was ready too quickly. I really wanted those samples.

🐘We had a zone Christmas party and let me just tell you, don't ever play White Elephant with elders without your expectations being dirt. I ended up with cheap cat socks and a bar of soap. Literally what is that. I am grateful, but what is that. We enjoyed good Christmas music played by the McConkies and lots of dancing. It was a very good time!

🎁We also had zone conference which was so good of course. It was 110% all about Jesus Christ. The spirit was so so so strong I couldn`t believe it. I had a real good moment where I actually understood how important Jesus Christ is for our lives. How much He loves us and how hard the atonement really was for Him. I am so grateful for His sacrifice and example to us. I am grateful that I trusted Him when He volunteered to atone for our sins in the spirit world. We all did, how amazing is that. 

🇯🇵I also had a real good missionary moment. We were visiting a nonmember family and I was showing them a video about Light the World. I was sitting there with about 5 children surrounding me layin gon their stomachs watching the video. I looked down at my missionary tag and then the children and their adorable Japanese faces and I thought, I made it. I am in Japan teaching these beautiful Japanese people about Jesus Christ. It was pretty cool.
Im gonna go!
I love you all! 
God loves you!
Make it a good week!
