July 11, 2016 No time busy with the open house I'll email when it's over but here is a pic July 5, 2016 Hey all great week and a baptism!! Sato San he is super awesome guy and so glad he decided to be baptized!! Other than that been working at the Sapporo temple for past couple of days!! It is so very wonderful for the amazing opportunity to be on a mission when a temple is being built and being able to work so closely with a bunch of church leaders! Hope you all have a great week love you all!! June 20, 2016 Hey friends and family! So sorry for the late absence of emails and again sorry for the short email again not that much time! Been so busy with things lately but had a pretty good couple of weeks Muto San has been moving a long nicely and we had a great time today! It's kinda sad had my transfer call and I'm going to Honbu again!! Pretty crazy but excited to work with President Nakatsuka so closely! Today was great and we went to Round 1 the sports place with Muto San and a recent convert Sister Kitagawa! It was pretty fun and then Muto San bought me some delicious rice and a pork cutlet, it's called katsu don but it was great! I love you and hope you all have a great week!! Luke 1:37 favorite scripture and a classic, read it love it believe it, and I promise God will pour the blessings and they won't stop!! May 15, 2016 Hey all its been a while but man it's been a great couple of busy weeks, but I won't bore you all with the small and specific details, but a couple of good highlights! First of all me and Elder Hishii will be companions for another transfer that makes us 3.5 transfer companions or 5 month companions!!! Woohoo!! Longest in the mission! In other transfer news I'm still a ZL but now our district had a DL so I don't have to do both hooray!!! Yesterday was church and we had 4 investigators come to church, I also gave a talk on the power of Prayer, it went great, I'm going to brag and be prideful for a second but dang that talk was beast!, compliments came left and right! Elder Stevens you are so amazing!! Hahaha just kidding back to reality we all know that everything good comes from the Lord!! Anyways just did a talk and here was the flow -hi I'm elder Stevens -topic power of prayer -purpose of prayer (Japanese scripture guide) similar to bible dictionary but different, made for Japanese people but from it simple translated, " The purpose of prayer isn't to change God's will, but to receive blessings for us and others that God has prepared and is ready to bless us with. And to obtain those blessings you must seek." "祈りの目的は，神の御心を�浃à毪长趣扦悉胜�，神がわたしたちに与えようとすでに�浃à皮�られる祝福を，自分のため，また人のために得ることである。しかし、それを得るには求めなさい。" -when I was a kid prayed everyday so I could fly still can't fly,,... I guess it wasn't God's will for me to fly. -emphasize "seek" to obtain the promised blessings -how and when to prayer Alma 37:36-37 Alma is talking to his Boy Helaman, earnestly pray always and council with the lord in all things, how earnestly, when always -alrighty now that we all know the simple and fundamentals of prayer but now for the stuff you have all been waiting for the Power of prayer, -what is the power of prayer, for me the power of prayer is the answer or the blessing received, when Joseph smith he sought out God through prayer, God answered and appeared to him. Powerful right. -although God might not appear to us directly, as I was studying for this talk, Elder Richard G. Scott's talk from oct. 1989 "Learning to Recognize Answers to Prayer" three ways that prayer comes. -the answer yes "When He answers yes, it is to give us confidence." Nephi 2:19- nephi prayed the lord said yes, Nephi 3:7 we all know this scripture, nephi had confidence to do anything and everything the Lord wanted him to do, when the Lord answers yes, we receive confidence. -the answer no, "When He answers no, it is to prevent error." Church teaches don't steady dating in High school, but I though well if it's Elder Stevens it okay right, plus the girl she is Beautiful, a good Mormon, lives my standards she is perfect... I prayed, the answer was,,, NO, God said no I obeyed, I was able to stay worthy and now am on a mission serving people. When God answers no he is protecting us. -for me the third is the most common but "When He withholds an answer, it is to have us grow through faith in Him, obedience to His commandments, and a willingness to act on truth." Shared experience about 2 brothers, medical problems, they went home early from mission, no direct answers, but now some have come, others are coming, and some won't be answered for a long time, from email "[Elder Stevens] you are still on a mission and I bet things don't always fall into play the way you want, but know that God is watching and knows what he is doing. You may not get answers today, this week, month, year, or ever in your life, but there is an answer and you'll eventually know." (By the way on a side note got this email two days before my talk and it was an answer to my prayers as to what to talk about thanks for follow the spirit man I love you!!) -relate to missionary work for myself, thought coming out I would receive answers as to where to go what to do everyday for every phase of the work.. Wrong, that number 3 answers is everyday, God doesn't answer so I can grow faith, obey and act on the truth he had given me. -testimony - in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Anyways that was the talk after 6 weeks we were finally able to meet that guy that didn't believe in God, but Elder Hishii and I stayed strong and he eventually let us in Sasaki San is his name if you are keeping track. He has been busy on business trips and then he has a wife in the Philippians and went there for "Golden week" a Japanese holiday, so he has been out of town we were able to talk to him a couple of times on the phone but finally we met and it was a good lesson, he said he would come to church too, we invited him cause I was talking but unfortunately he didn't come. Officially today only 4 months left on a mission, and at the rate I am emailing maybe 4 more emails home;) I love you all and hope you all have a great week!

 Hey everyone had another great week!! Some news, I was transferred to
Eniwa-Chitose I am excited to work here, and I will be with Elder
Hishii again, we were companions in Honbu, but I am so happy to be his
companion again! Basically spent the last week in Kushiro like any
other week lots of visiting but this time saying good bye it was
pretty sad but I am excited to work in Eniwa-Chitose!

First day of work here was so good, we went housing with the little
bit of time that we were giving and we knocked in this one door and a
guy came out, I went into our introduction on who we are and what we
are doing and he was like well God doesn't exist so there is no reason
for you to be out doing what you are doing and then I was like well
guess what God exists and he loves you and me and wants to help and
then he was like God doesn't exist there are wars death and bad stuff
so there is no way that there is a god!! And then I was like There is
a God, I know it and if you want to know too I would be happy to show
how you can know!! At this point I was kinda of thinking, uh oh this
is bad I'm about to throw down with the 40 year old man about the
reasons why God exists. But then he was like, oh um well I actually
like Christians ya know and you guys seem okay how about you come in
and we talk. Then we went in and talked about God and our church, he
asked about Baptism said that if he can would like to try and do it
some day, got his phone number and then we walked with him to the
train station because he was going out with some friends and we were
going to Sapporo for MLK (mission leader conference). But anyways
hooray for being Bold!! His name is Sasaki and I'm excited to get to
know him better and hopefully help him receive the saving ordinance of
baptism!! Anyways pretty cool miracle!

I haven't seen GC yet but excited to watch it this weekend, but
anyways before I left Kushiro we have these things called "To Become
Items" our mission has a motto
"To Become"
Obedience is the price
Faith is the power
Love is the motive
Spirit is the key
Christ is the reason
Joy is the reward
Thus we have "To Become Items" and in order to better achieve that we
pick a theme for a month and the we think of ways to help others learn
and achieve the mission motto. Our theme this last month was "why" we
had people think of the why of the things that we do in president
Uctdorf's "The why of the Priesthood" from the 2012 April GC
priesthood session he says "The what is important in our work, and we
need to attend to it. But it is in the why of priesthood service that
we discover the fire, passion, and power of the priesthood. The what
of priesthood service teaches us what to do. The why inspires our
souls. The what informs, but the why transforms." Although he relates
it to priesthood service, it works with anything, for example, the
what, I want to lose 10 pounds, the why I want to be healthier, I
wanna see my 6 pack and I want a Girl or a guy;) the what by itself is
not a bad thing, but with the why we receive the desire and the what
becomes an aspiration! In the church and in our callings there is a
bunch of what's like home teaching, a mission, going to church,
reading scriptures, and such but just like Uchtdorf says "
Understanding the why... will help us to see the divine purpose of all
of this." But if there are ever any questions on what you should do,
think of the why and everything becomes clear, the gospel is simple I
love it and I hope you all have a great week!!

March 28, 2016

Hey all, Happy Easter!!!

We had a nice week were able to make a new baptismal date with a new
person, Yamada, he has some cool Tattoos, in Japan it is really rare
for someone to have tattoos so I thought it was pretty cool! We taught
about the plan of salvation and what happens when we die and I have
never seen anyone that wanted to go to the Celestial kingdom so much
in my life, so I am pretty excited for him! We have been sending a
scripture to Masato every day I feel like it has helped a lot he is
super busy and we weren't able to meet on Sunday so that kinda sucked
but sounds like he is making a little bit of progress with his family,
would love some extra prayers for him! Nitona we taught him with the
young men at an activity about prayer so that was pretty good for him.
We met 4 other college students this week for the first time and they
seem to have some after we introduced the gospel so we have
appointments with them this week. And one of the Less actives we are
visiting with came to church this week and she had a wonderful time!
We were also able to meet with a bunch of our other investigators this
week so it was a nice week!

This week is the transfer week so we will see what happens, also we
have Mission leader Conference (MLK) this weekend so I am excited for
that!!

All ya alls in America are so freaking lucky you get to watch General
Conference this weekend!! I have to wait for a whole week!:0 If you
haven't  had a chance President Eyrings message in the April Liahona
is inspiring, I love this part though "We who listen to and watch the
messages of general conference sometimes think afterward, 'What do I
remember best?' The Lord?fs hope for each of us is that our answer
will be: 'I will never forget the moments when I felt the voice of the
Spirit in my mind and heart telling me what I could do to please my
Heavenly Father and the Savior.'" If we just watch and hope to learn
we hear inspiring words from some wise old dudes. If we prepare
whether it be questions, prayer, reviewing old talks, it then becomes,
old dudes inspiring words to personal treasures of revelation from
God's messengers of truth here on Earth! Wow right?! Watching General
Conference = a cool story or two from some apostles. Preparation and
watching General Conference = revelation, answers everything that God
wants you to know, and everything you need to help you with anything
that you might be struggling with. The difference is too big to not
put preparation in.

It's Easter and I would like to take that opportunity to let you all
know I Love Jesus and his sacrifice for me and you, he has "descended
below all things" so that we can, with him, ascend and return to our
Father in heaven with our families forever!

Whats up everyone!? Another week gone just like that time flies right!? Anyways this week was full of miracles! Just a lot of really good missionary work this week! Lots of finding and Lesson teaching and we even went on a walk with a Less active member it was kinda awkward she is an 60 year old grandma but we were talking about her wanting to buy a new house and move and such but then she is like umm there is another less active member near by lets go and visit her, so we went but she wasnt home, so we stopped in a park and we showed her the new Easter video HALLELUJAH, and then she was like I felt the spirit it was so good, next time you come over I want you to teach my Husband! That was a nice little miracle to a wonderful week of missionary work!!

We were able to visit with Masato as well he had a baptism date for the 27th of this month but we talked yesterday and we decided that it might be better that we push it back a little bit it was pretty sad for myself but the lesson went really well and it was easy to recognize that it was better off that push that date back a little bit, he is going to pray about it and talk to his parents with his Girlfriend, so it should go well and we are going to send him a scripture daily to help with his Spiritual strength.

Also Nitona came back from Vietnam and we were able to do a lesson with him after an activity, and it was a really good lesson and he has a good friend in the branch now so we are very excited for him.

I Started the Book of Mormon again this transfer and I am in Alma and was able to read chapter 26 when Ammon Glories in the Lord, and all of the success he had while he was doing missionary work in Land of the Lamanites verses 35-37 stood out to me this time, but reading this '...God, who has been mindful of this people, who are a branch of Israel, and has been lost from its body in a strange land;' This is Japan a strange land who is still a part of branch of Israel who has just been lost, he goes on 'yea, I say blessed be the name of God, who has been mindful of us, wanderers in a strange land.' God is mindful of both his Missionaries and his lost sheep in Japan and he will guide us in all we do as long as we are open and ready for the spirit and blessings that he is always pouring over us. It is always cool to make connections and remember things that we are taught as we reread the words of God, I love it!!

I love you all and hope you alls have a great week!!

Hello everyone!! Had a wonderful week, last week we went to Sapporo to have Mission Tour with Elder Choi, he is the man, I love him he was so good! Learned so much and had a bunch of answers answered! Hmmm, maybe some of the highlights PMG stands for Preach My Gospel, Elder Choi taught us another Meaning Perfect Marriage Guidance, made me pretty Trunky hehe, Just kidding but he told us how this book helps us not only on the mission but it is a guidance for us throughout our lives and how we need to not just only know the things that are written in the book but to be Experts of the PMG. The next thing that I loved that he said was a combination of two quotes that he shared but they were ?No Fears, No doubts, Today I obey, and Tomorrow I understand.` I like that and it is going to be my quote for the rest of my mission probably, it doesnt matter what we do as long as we are obedient and faithful today it doesnt matter what happens because we wont understand why all this happens until far down the road of life and eternity.

Hmm, other Highlights for the week we had a couple of good lessons with a couple of investigators and did splits in Obihiro but that was basically it for the week half of it was on the bus traveling but still were able to get some good progress in the area!

Anyways I hope you all have a great week Love you all and thanks  for all you prayers!!

Dear Family and Friends!

Hey had a wonderful week here in Kushiro, last P day we had a Zone Activity we played scripture Jeopardy and it went pretty well and everyone seemed to have a pretty good time!! Then we had ZTM on Tuesday, ZTM went great and we did a 2 workshops the first one was on the why of the Missionary work? it went really well and we really tried to focus on the WHY of baptisms and how to try to help everyone see some more success. The next was on setting goals and the importance of not only setting goals but also to set goals that will stretch but not discourage, I feel like we did a really good job and that the zone got a lot from it! 

The rest of the week was really hard,.. we worked so hard and had a lot of goals this week to see a lot of progress, but literally no one was home and we ended up finding a lot of the week and in that finding there was really no one who wanted to listen, I have never had a week were I have worked so hard to see no success, but by Sunday we had a couple of New investigators and we were able to meet with 2 progressing investigators that week, and we felt pretty good going into Sunday, we felt like we had put the work in and that we would have people at church, and then no one came to church, at that point I was pretty frustrated, and during sacrament I thought back at my whole mission I felt like I have worked so hard everyday no sick days, always housing, always working but still no real huge success, I just asked the Lord "why we worked so hard and we tried so hard and we saw nothing why" as I was thinking this I was pretty discouraged and I thought it was because I had missed the opportunity and that the golden investigator I missed.. I was humbled after sacrament meeting we asked about one of the members about Masato san, I think I talked about him a couple of emails ago, but we have been working with him a lot and he has progressed so much, but he hadn't been to church in a while and we haven't been able to meet for the past 2 weeks because he was busy with work, but after talking with the member, we were able to make an appointment for Sunday evening, and in that lesson we talked about his worries and doubts but in the end we talked about goals and we wanted him to make a goal, he told us that he wanted to receive baptism this month or the next, and after that we tried just a little more to get a specific goal and after talking about goals for a little bit he made the date 3/27 I was humbled through out the week working hard and seeing nothing, but because of it I have a stronger testimony and know that sometimes we don't see the immediate goals but success will follow and sometimes you just need to hit that concrete block each time you hit it you may see a little chip here and there but what you don't see is the inside getting weaker and weaker until finally "pop" it finally bursts, and this week we were able to break the concrete block for the week and a nice big hit in the goal of Masato san receiving baptism, we don't see the immediate but God helps us push forward until we can all break our personal concrete blocks. I love being a missionary it is the greatest and time is short but I am so grateful for this opportunity to be out here serving the people of Japan!!

I Love you all and hope that you all have a great week and see lots of miracles!!

 February 28, 2016

Hey everyone, we have zone activity this week so not a lot of time to email, and I have not pics so.. Sorry but love ya all and hope y'all have a great week! Nitona came to church and we had a great week of missionary work! Here is a good talk this week!

"First, you are called of God. The Lord knows you. He knows whom He would have serve in every position in His Church. He chose you. He has prepared a way so that He could issue your call.

 The person who called you did not issue the call simply because he learned by interviewing you that you were worthy and willing to serve. He prayed to know the Lord?s will for you.

You are called to represent the Savior. Your voice to testify becomes the same as His voice, your hands to lift the same as His hands.

Your call has eternal consequences for others and for you. In the world to come, thousands may call your name blessed, even more than the people you serve here.

If someone rejects the Savior?s invitation because you did not do all you could have done, their sorrow will be yours. You see, there are no small callings to represent the Lord. Your call carries grave responsibility. But you need not fear, because with your call come great promises.

The Lord will guide you by revelation just as He called you.

Just as God called you and will guide you, He will magnify you.

If I only think of my own performance, my sadness deepens. But when I remember that the Lord promised that His power would go with me, I begin to look for evidence of what He has done in the lives of the people I am to serve. I pray to see with spiritual eyes the effects of His power. All He asks is that you give your best effort and your whole heart. Do it cheerfully and with the prayer of faith."

Elder Henry B. Eyring "Rise to your Call"

These are the parts I liked in this talk it is wonderful but this part is my favorite "If I only think of my own performance, my sadness deepens. But when I remember that the Lord promised that His power would go with me, I begin to look for evidence of what He has done in the lives of the people I am to serve. I pray to see with spiritual eyes the effects of His power. All He asks is that you give your best effort and your whole heart. Do it cheerfully and with the prayer of faith" God is everything and through him we perform miracles, I love you all!!

 February 21, 2016

What's up everyone?!! Its been a while since I have done a good email back home but, as a new transfer goal I am going to try and do a good email every week this transfer! Hooray!! Anyways this week said goodbye to some of my favorite missionaries so that was pretty sad but they are all in America and having a blast so its all good!! We also entered a new transfer and I am going to be with Elder Day, he was the AP last transfer so he is basically the greatest missionary ever! I am really excited to work with him, we have gone on splits before, but I like him he is pretty funny and sarcastic so it will be a fun transfer. Some of his hobbies, well actually the only one he says he has is playing the Violin but he is really good at it so maybe someday I will send a video of it?.. anyways this week was fun week we were able to meet a lot of people and we had a 15 year old come to church his name is Nitona but he seemed to enjoy the youth and the young mens teacher so I have some high hopes for him!

We also made a Baptismal date with Yamane it was a pretty good lesson but right now his biggest worries is that if he gets baptized he changes from being a Buddhist to a Christian so hopefully we can get over this worry and get him eternal salvation! I love being a missionary and it is so awesome to be here in Kushiro, we see miracles everyday, and I am so excited to work with Elder Day and we are hoping to see a lot of success over  the next 6 weeks!!

I was reading the White Handbook this week for those of you who don't know what the White Hand Book is it is a book with standards for missionaries to follow, but anyways in the beginning of the book it talks a little bit about the calling and the importance of the calling of a missionary, but anyways I have been reading this book my whole mission but this week I was reading from the beginning again and there is a paragraph that I really liked `When you accepted you call , you promised to live by these standards. You are accountable to the Lord and to the leaders of Church for how well you honor this promise. Always keep in mind the importance of your calling. Strive constantly to magnify it.` I really liked this sentence because it works for any calling that we receive in the church whether it is primary teacher or Bishop, we are `accountable to the Lord and leaders of the Church for how well we honor this promise`, and after reading this I really thought of the remaining time for myself on the mission, but we all have our different callings in the church right now, and our time is limited, sometimes we don't know when it will end, so we need to do everything we can at all times. I love this gospel, we have one lifetime, but in that time we have the amazing opportunity to discover and rediscover the simple truths the gospel, and more importantly we all have the calling to share it with others! I love you all so much thanks you for all your emails and prayers and support! I hope you all have a great week!!!

Hey everyone sorry for not getting an email out last week, we were super busy and we didnt have a lot of time to email, but anyways a couple of updates, I got transferred to a city called Kushiro, there are six missionaries, there names are Elder Nakashima, Elder Sakihara, Elder Tokuzawa(he is my companion) Sister Cooper, and Sister Peters, and then there are two elders in the a city called Nemuro but they are also in our district, Elder Tomioka, and Elder Wajima. Its pretty great all the Elders in my District are Japanese, and in our zone the only Japanese missionaries are in my district, so I feel pretty blessed. I was also called to be a Zone Leader, which is cool I guess, but this week we had Zone Training meeting and we did 2 workshops on how to better recognize the spirit and help investigators understand it as well, and then the other one was on mission culture and what kind of culture do we think that this mission has and what kind of culture that we want to have. It was pretty fun and I was super nervous too, and for the end of the second one President Nakatsuka came but it was good the 2nd workshop was really good and I think that it really helped everyone notice the potential that we all had and it also got everyone super excited to get out and do missionary work!

Other than that there has been so many people that we have met and taught lessons with this week, but one of them was Masato, he is probably the closest to baptism right when I came he had a baptism date and interview all set up but a small slip up and it got postponed for a little bit but he still wants to get baptized so I am excited!! And then there is another person called Nakajima, we found her this week and she was pretty excited to see us and she also was like I love to talk about church stuff, so we are excited for her! And then one more Highlight was Paul he is a Russian we found, he invited us in and then we taught about God and Pray and Church simply in English, then he said that he wants to come to the church and here more about this message, it was a super good and spiritual lesson, I am excited for him and a lot of people here in Kushiro!

This weeks Ponderize is a nice and simple one but a great one Jacob 2:18 `But before ye seek for riches, seek ye for the kingdom of God.`

Anyways that is all I got for this week and I am so excited for the next week got splits with the Assistants and also with some of our members in the Zone. I love you all have a great week!!! 

January 3, 2016

Well hello everyone I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas break and
New Years because here in Hakodate we saw tons of miracles... Wow I
sound so lame but really, lots of big things happened, but probably
the biggest is that my companion went home he had an irregular heart
beat and he is getting it check out by the doctor now but he should be
back in like less than six weeks so everyone please pray for Elder
Mccreary and his family. And because of that big thing that happened
we became a threesome companionship and we saw a lot of miracles these
past couple of weeks. One of our investigators named Ryu he is pretty
cool he was a little bit sick this past week but we were still able to
meet with him a couple of times and he was in bed one day reading the
gospel library because he was bored and he was reading the preach my
gospel, by the way he is 18 and been investigating the church for
about a year so he knows quite a bit, but anyways he was reading it
and he was like hey what should I read in this book, and we told him
chapter 4 and 6 and then if you got time 3 but since coming to
Hakodate again it is crazy to see the huge change in him from my first
time to right now, one thing he said last week was he wishes that he
had started studying the gospel when he was younger so that he could
know more now.
Among our other progressing investigators hikaru, kusumoto, and JJ, we
were able to meet and taught them all there respected lessons but
really other than that it was pretty normal taught about Jesus, and
his atonement a lot this week!! Those are the focused people and then
we have other people we visited but aren't really focusing.
Some fun stuff we did, we woke up and 4:00 in the morning to hike the
Hakodate Mountain in the snow to see sunrise, we also had to walk the
10 kilometers to get to the mountain. Then we went to round 1 I don't
know if you all remember it but it is basically a huge sports place
and it is super fun!!

Was rereading talks from conference and when I read Elder Hales then
end of it was super good when he says
Ask yourself: ?gWhat areas of my life do I want to strengthen so that
I can strengthen others? Where do I want to be a year from now? two
years from now? What choices do I need to make to get there??h Right
now I am on a mission and everyday that I get to serve the lord I get
to become the closer to the person he needs me to be, and I also get
to help everyone strengthen their lives as I come closer to the lord
as well, it also reminds me of how far I need to work in order to
become the person I want to be by the end of my mission and also in 2
years from now, I loved that we had New Years and the opportunity to
make goals for the year. I love goals and know that through goals that
we are able to progress and achieve and reach our potential!

Had an all day Book of Mormon reading day but during that I found my
ponderize scripture: 2 nephi 3:24
24 And there shall rise up one mighty among them, who shall do much
good, both in word and in deed, being an instrument in the hands of
God, with exceeding faith, to work mighty wonders, and do that thing
which is great in the sight of God, unto the bringing to pass much
restoration unto the house of Israel, and unto the seed of thy
brethren.
It talks about Joseph smith but I think we should all be striving to
be the one that is described in this verse, I can't really say it
better than the scriptures but, we should all be the missionary tool
for God in all times and in all places because "after all that has
been said and done the most important duty is that you preach the
gospel"

Every have a wonderful week I love you all!!
