Hey everyone!
Well, I guess this is the last one... I seem to be coming home on
Friday. With that noted, I guess there isn't really a lot of big news,
or at least nothing that will compare to the end of my time in Japan.
Of things that happened, when we were dendoing this past week Elder
Burr and I went to a small apartment, the type that normally really
old people and young college kids live in. We were knocking on the
doors, and out of one of them a large man opens up. He is from Africa,
specifically Cameroon, which we learn after getting over our surprise,
and has been Christian his entire life. He even runs back inside to
get his bible, and we just have a good talk about Jesus Christ, and
church, and long story short he decides to come on Sunday, because he
hasn't been in a few months. And then he actually shows up! Just a
great little miracle to end with, to help someone else feel the peace
of the Savior even a little more, and to share the Book of Mormon,
which he was really interested in.
We also met up with Kotaro, one of the kids Elder Valdivia and I met
way back when, and played some football with him. It ties into our
kickball dendo on Saturday, where we got with some other young kids,
and just built relationships. There are just so many good people here,
and the hardest part is always breaking the ice, because it's always a
little odd when random foreigners come up and start speaking with you.
I feel like we are getting better, and Kumamoto is in a good place.
Besides that, I've just had the chance to learn from the master
teacher for two straight years. It would be impossible to put all my
experiences in words, let alone on paper, but to close suffice it to
say that I know this has been two years doing the work of God. He
lives, and desires above all else to help us find everlasting and
eternal happiness. That is why He send His son, to guide us and allow
us a path home. That is why He answers prayers, to ease burdens and
comfort us. I have experienced all that and more, and testify thereof
in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Elder Mitchell Woodhouse
