KenGO is GO! Five... :)

Stuff just got real.... Well I'm 5 now and we had transfer calls just barley and I'm.... FOLLOW UP TRAINER, WITH A JAPANESE COMP, AND..... DISTRICT LEADER! What!? Well here we go... Pretty much everything I wanted came true! God is good... My new companion is Murakami Choro from Okinawa! Get the island boys together! He's transfer 3 and all I know about him is he doesn't speak much English and likes to sleep! Hahaha well it's already been hard to not call him Murakami shimai because she's my homie in the MTC and south mission! But... Well work on it! I am so stoked to be able to be senior comp (Senpai) and district leader! I have been writing things down to do as leadership since I got here I'm stoked to be able to put them in action! Big things are coming and I'm STOKED! Here's some nonsense from my week!

How freaking small is this SEKAI!!!!!? (world) Elder Tuttles friend came to visit him because he is going home and he said we could tag along. The guy was way cool! He used to live in our mission but went to Kobe for work. I asked him who was in his ward in Kobe and it was my homie Elder Preciado! Also he was like and before it was elder something and Elder Isaac... And I was like Isaac.... I swear I know him what's his first name... ADAM ISAAC! I went to school with him! What!? This world is so dang small especially in the church! So much craziness! I gave him a little note to give to my boi in Kobe! :) 

We had the SICKEST zone meeting in the whole entire world this week! Ahhhh it was so great and to make it even better it was followed by a zone lunch at Brazillian steak place! Ugh I want to go to the brazillian area in our mission so bad! Anyways why it was so amazing is because for once we didn't just talk about Stats and how bad we were doing at life... But we talked about being the best us we can be! Me and Elder Kuwana gave a training on relaxing and showing your companion love. So I handed everyone out a mint and said sometimes we gotta just take a chill pill! And we had all these pieces of paper that said different things like make your comp a romantic poem or a dance with a song or a rap! Let's just say it got real, real... Real fast! Hahahahah it was so great! The biggest reason why this was the best zone meeting was because in our zone there are 18 people... In a couple days 5 of them go home! So they all talked to us about what they have learned on their missions. You can just feel a difference in these experienced missionaries. They just get it! We all felt the spirit so strong and it motivated us a ton! BEST. ZONE MEETING. EVER! Way sad though cuz our zone is changing a ton this transfer!

We had dinner with Yasuzawa. We followed up with his praying and he says he does it just about every night! Cept when he's tired... Can't blame the guy! Haha but I asked him how he felt when he prayed... He was quiet for a second and he finally said... It's a feeling like no words can describe!! What!? That's crazy! We're still trying to see what exactly he wants. He's way timid and shy but he tells us through email how happy he is. He told us that he gets bullied  everywhere and the people at the church are so nice to him and make him feel apart of the group. I don't think he has ever had at in his life. He mailed us something personal that he is dealing with and yeah... Dude has such a good heart! He came to the stake conference and he said it was pretty good! I'm hoping and praying we can help him out more! 

We had Elder Nelson come talk to Saitama Stake on Sunday! It was too cute he had all the primary kids stand up and sing I am a child of God! It was a really cool experience! Their message was centered around families and it was way good! He had us stand up too and told them to have their kids look to these elders and sister as their examples. That really hit me... These kids are watching us like crazy we need to make sure we are a good example. He also said we teach for free what the savior gave us for free. We get to hear from him on Wednesday and the south mission is coming! Hopefully I get to see Elder Critter this time... Haha 

Challenge! 

Go change something! Yep.... Just go do that... :) the only thing constant is change :)
