Well this week was awesome we went to Sapporo For Zone Conference and learned about physical health and mental health stuff, That was a lot of fun I was able to see a lot of people from my (douki) the people who were in the MTC with me. Including my Companion it was awesome to talk to and hang out with him for a little bit. We watched MEET THE MORMONS and wow that movie was way good!! Missionary mom was my favorite everyone might have thought I would have like the football coach but all his did was make me want to play football hahah but dont worry i'm good now. We then had an amazing opportunity to go to Yuki Matsuri (snow Festival) and that was way cool.

Sunday I had the opportunity to teach a 5 minute lesson from the PMG for the the priesthood  it was way good I taught about Humility and used 2 Corinthians 12:9-10  9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest?upon me.

 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in?necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ?s sake: for?when I am weak, then am I strong.?

It was we good and this is a scripture that I found during Personal study and I really like it so I thought that I would share it my favorite line is 'Most Gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ my rest upon me.' We all have our problems in life right now and it is way tough to balance life but we should be so grateful that we can rely on Christ and his atonement, It really is true that we come closer to god through our trials and I know that.

All of this was great and fun but the Highlight of the week was definitely our lesson on Saturday we teach a free english program with the guy named Otani, he is about 21 years old, the lesson is about 30 min english 30 min gospel we taught about the spirit and prayer and reviewed the plan of salvation at the end we closed with a prayer and then he told us that he felt something we asked him if he could try to describe it and it took him a bit but he finally said I just felt like all of the bad feelings were gone. and I was just like :O   like the the spirit was so strong during that lesson that was the second lesson that I have taught him and Yamada has taught him like 4 times, but ya that was the real highlight of the week it was soo amazing!!

I love you all hope you all have a Great WEEK!!!!
