What a week!!!
We have been grinding out lots of ekis (train stations), I think we were able to do at least one each day this week. Nothing too crazy has happened, but we have been able to see little miracles! Please pray that we will be able to reach our mission goal of 1,000 by the end of the transfer! Right now we are at 427!!
On monday we went to Takaoka and saw lots of Buddhas. Yay Japan! We also went to this restaurant that gave huge portions for cheap. The pictures do not do justice the big bowls of ramen they served. It was a wild experience.
It snowed a lottttt this week! A lot of plans changed because the trains were down for a hot sec. A few missionaries were stuck here in Toyama with us, but we had a grand old time. 
JJ and Paul are doing so good! Thank you for the prayers! I had some of my most spirit filled moments teaching these 2 this week. Me and MacDonald ć§ćŠč were worried about some lessons we had to teach them, but the spirit carried! There were some moments where I did not really know what to say, but I opened my mouth, trusted, and the spirit filled it. I can't explain it well, but I am so thankful for the spirit they are able to bring and my companion is able to bring! There are just a few final things we need to do, then they will be baptized! Sooner than I think you will expect!! If you could see the dance parties me and MacDonald ć§ćŠč have you would understand how trully excited we are! 
I recently listened to a podcast the church news put out with Laurel Day. She talks a lot about agency. That there are so many times in life where we don't know what decision is best. We ask God, "what decision am I supposed to make?"But that's not how it works. He won't make your decisions. We have agency. This is YOUR life, YOUR choice. You do what you want to (with good intentions and following Christ of course) and He will fill in the gaps. There may be a fork in the road of decisions, but because of the agency you fought for, you can choose what you want to do and God will be able to work with you there. He is there to support us, not to live for us. He will warn us if we need to make a specific decision or to protect us from danger, but other than that, it's all you girl. Those are my recent fav deep thoughts!
God loves you, he trusts you. Everyday I am reminded of this and find comfort through this. Like come on, I am a 20 year old in Japan, with the responsibility of changing people's lives! CrazyyyI love you all! Thank you for the emails! I love them!!!
