Japan Sapporo Mission -- The Frozen Chosen

Week 51-54

Week 51-54 - 名寄->網走 - hard reset.

Its been a while. I’m sorry. Looking at the Google photos is probably better than this email though still because it’s hard to describe a lot of the stuff that’s happening. I had a few questions from mom and dad. Sorry if I missed any: Did you make it to Abashiri with your mixer and your flour? Yeah, I made it to Abashiri safely with the mixer and the flour but both of them I couldn’t ship because there wasn’t enough room in my bags.

Week 48/49/50

Week 48/49/50 - 名寄 - Long time no see

Well, According to mother I have not sent an email since April. Which is maybe/almost true. So i guess I’m supposed to tell everyone I’m alive and breathing. Either that or what Elder Wight always says which is upright and mobile. I suppose for him its different because he is 70. Qs from mom: What did you end up making with your chopped garlic? I… I don’t remember. But I made Japanese fried chicken the other day and put it on the Google photos and it was so good.

Is there someone in your life who could use your words of encouragement or advice? Old or young, you know something they don’t or can encourage them in a way they can’t do themselves because none of us know everything or can do everything yourself. Go encourage that someone and grow their light a little more this week. Anyway. This week you got it, get back into the swing of things, make strides to change to be who you want to be.
