Here is his email from Dec. 21, 2014
Another Great week I say that
a lot but it really is true every week is great, this week we got to do
some snow shoveling missionary work I was so freaking excited we asked
this dude if he wanted help and he actually said yes we ask all the time
and even when it is a grandma in like her 70's who can hardly even walk
they say no it just blows my mind, but anyways he said yes so we helped
him he was a little hesitant at first because he thought that he would
have to come and join our church if we helped him but we just told him
that we wanted to help, it was good to go that direction because he was
so greatful and then afterwards we got his phone number and told him to
call us if he ever wanted help with the snow again but also he said we
are going to go to a ramen shop and eat with him sometime so that is
really good hopefully we can talk a little bit about the gospel during
our lunch thing.
On wednesday the Weather was
so bad that we were stuck in the appartment all day sometimes you think
that would be an awesome thing but it was the longest day since I have
been on my mission every minute went by so slow!!! We called some people
but after that and all our studies we had like nothing to do for like 8
hours so we read some more scriptures and liahonas and we even got to
play a game of Monopoly but it was just 1v1 so it wasnt that great,
finally at about 7 we decided to just watch some church movies we
watched Gordan B. Hinkley's Biography and his funeral, then the
District, when you watch the district for fun you know you are a
missionary! haha but ya that was about it every other day was pretty
normal

We did get to call Jarek on Christmas Eve here, Christmas Day in Japan. Got to talk to him about 45 min. It was great to hear his voice. He is doing very well. Sounds like he is focused and enjoying the work at hand which is wonderful.
We sent him a package which he said he did receive and like a good boy didn't open it at all til Christmas morning.

Hey everyone!! Hope you all
had a great Christmas and new year's! Had a lot of fun these past two
weeks about everyday until Last saturday we had a dinner at a members
house had a lot of different and delicious foods our first meal was
sushi and chicken and taco rice, I loved the chicken it was really good I
even ate some of the sushi still don't like it but ya I ate some, the
next one was yakisoba which was really good probably my favorite then we
had a couple days in a row of taco rice and finished with some
Hamburgurs they were so small it was so cute!! hahah anyways we had a
lot of fun at these dinners! We had dinner with an investigator last
night and he had us cook our own meals and he is like a professional
chef so it was super nerve racking to be making food in front of him but
we did it and it wasn't terrible so that was good!!
We
didn't have a lot of time to go and do missionary work these past
couple of weeks with all the dinners plus on the 31st 1st and 2nd were
days where we werent suppose to go out the 31st was a day where we read
the Book of Mormon all day 1st was a P-day and we did our district
activity that day we went to a place called round 1 it is just a place
where you get to play all these different sports and games all day there
was basketball, baseball(cages), badmitton, tenis volleyball, Golf,
Ping pong, darts, a mechanical bull, and that was just a couple of the
fun things my favorite was bubble soccer you get in these huge bubbles
and run into each other it was funny because I basically destroyed
everyone that I ran into and that ran into me. And finally on the 1st it
was an all day cleaning day which was good you would be suprised at
what missionaries leave and recieve. A couple of days before that we
went to a gym as well and played some Bball with and investigator, but
while we were playing a bunch of other guys came and played and we
invited them to english class 2 of them seemed really interested so I
hope that they come!!
Anyways those are some of the highlights talk to you guys next week!!!!
