Isaiah 45:6
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.

Week ?...Maybe 3?

What's up everyone!? How's life? I'm doing so great! The MTC is a wonderful place! So I wrote this out on paper before actually going to the computer this time so it's not all wish wash. btw...i cant change the computers to dvorak so I'm probably going to make a bunch of mistakes when I'm typing....just lettin you know I'm not retarded. So on Tuesday of last week when I emailed there was a devotional that touched my heart. It was about how we must learn about God and all that he is. The way we do that is through prayer! He went into how prayer was so vital to the world! We communicate with the creator through a simple act of praying. And along with that, when we want an answer from the Lord, we need to wait on the Lord's time table. If we have faith in his timing and love Him, nothing can go wrong. I've totally seen that here! I have been trying to have faith in his timing and it has really worked! I have had answers to prayers here and I just love it!
So Wednesday I tryed talking to the Nihonjin and I'm not sure if I talked to them or not, obviously by now I have, but I'm not sure if I did then. Nothing exciting happened on Wed. but I am now realizing that God answers prayers through the scriptures! I have had some really cool findings from them.
Thursday. Thursday is the TRC day. It's when we go to the training center to see if we've done good on our practicing throughout the week. We contacted in Japanese and then taught the Restoration in English. I also saw James Ronnow today! I also met Ashimine and Haraguchi choro! They are so awesome! It's really hard to talk to the Nihonjin cause my comp doesnt know japanese and they are always grouped together! But they are awesome! They are way good at English too!
Friday is our service day and we go to the other residence hall and clean their bathrooms. It's not too bad and it's service, so its good for us! Friday was just a regular day though.
Saturday we went to the Teaching Evaluation (TE) and we taught the Restoration lesson to Bro Mortenson. He is definatley the best! He speaks mongolian and english, but yeah, we taught in English. But the TE is so useful! We can practise teaching lessons and stuff! It's just an awesome place to be!
sunday is always a great day here! It was fast sunjday so we fasted together as a district and it was amazing! Then during testimony meeting the Nihonjin got up to bear their testimonies and I was just so full of the spirit! No one could understand them from our districts, but their testimonies were amazing! I was actually translation the japanese testimonies of everyone for the wives of the branch presidency! That was way fun. I got to translate for them and I might get to translate again sometime. Also Sunday night there is always a fireside and we had a really cool one. The people that wrote "our saviors love" and "press forward saints" and other hymns came and talked to us. So it was like all composers and they were all like 85+ years old...haha...we could barely hear them speaking, but they had amazing amount of energy! but yeah their talks were just great! We all sang Press forward saints and the end and it was amazing! I also had to ask Jay sensei if I'm going to Japan early or not and he said he'd tell me by monday.
Monday is always awestriking! The LGM we have is just always so awesome! It inspires me to do so much good! I also got a letter form Brittany, Natalie, Mckenzie & Colman! Thank you guys so much! It means a lot! I'm gon to write back today! So later on in the night, we had Jesus Time with Jay Sensei, and it was just amazing! We talked about the Miracle with Jarius and the unclean woman, so go read it cause its good! I really can't believe how awesome the teachers are here! It's amazing! So I also found out about the whole Japan thing. I was told not to get my hopes up, and expect 12 weeks, but they are gonig to try really hard! So either way, whatever happens I'm on the Lords time table right now, and he'll make it happen when it needs to happen. Hope everyone is doing great! Write me from dear elder cause its so much easier...haha but either way works! Thanks for all the support! Minna aishitemasu! Bye bye!
PS Papi, if you could send me an SD to USB cable, then I might be able to post some pictures. Obviously when you get back from Hawaii that is. And I also met Sis Davis, she taold me she know aya and cory...so tell them she says hi!
