How did everyone`s Halloween go? I hope
you had a blast! Because we celebrated Halloween last week nothing
really happened on Halloween. We even tried to go to McDonalds to try
and get the Halloween burger on the 30th, and they had already gotten
rid of it! It wasn`t even Halloween yet and they got rid of it to bring
some other burger out. I was furious! The burger was purple and it had
Squid Ink for ketchup! So I used it as a conversation topic in Eikaiwa
and everybody thought it was hilarious!
Other
news this week is transfers and I will most likely be staying here for
another transfer. But if I become a trainer (which I dont plan on
happening) I will get a call some time today. And plus, we will be
getting a new gaijin AP and it might be my trainer, Elder Mecham! But we
really don`t know yet. On Tuesday
I got a lucky privilege to go on a split with Elder Inoue! I was his
last split ever! He goes home this week and I was able to learn a lot
from him.
This week I was able to start
reading Acts for the first time all the way through. And I love it. The
apostles and those brave Christians after the ascension of Christ
suffered a lot for the His name`s sake. But what I love most is the
change wrought about in these people and their lives. Peter, a man who
denied the Savior 3 times, turns around and will say nothing but His
name, suffering through torture and death, but still praising God. Saul,
killing the saints, throwing them in jail, and destroying the church of
God, changes and becomes one of the greatest missionaries of all time.
And the Gentiles, not knowing of Christ, turning unto Him, received
baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost, and speaking with cloven tongues
of fire. All of these miracles and people, are in the restored church. I
am not saying Peter himself is hear, but Prophets and apostles with the
same authority lead and guide our church today. How wonderful is that!
I love you all and please read Acts. It is my favorite book of scripture now:)
