Kids everywhere

(I just informed Drew that his grandfather died, only 9 months after his grandmother died.)

Dang grandpa too. Well I'm sure they're happy! He did eat a lot of hotdogs as in like every day and that probably isn't healthy but hey he's probably doing something on the other side besides watching TV! This is probably the busiest Grandpa has ever been, ever. And he can
walk and be free from the effects of oldness (it actually autocorrected to oddness. I don't think he can be free of that) and from the car accident he had a few years back. If he isn't busy, grandma is probably showing him the ropes and whipping him into shape. I wonder if they have tv screens in the spirit world. Baseball? I've actually grown to absolutely love baseball while I've been on my mission. I still can't play but it has become actually important to me ha. So , He might be an angel guy that reports on crimes and sins and is like a detective for other angel guys. They don't have a perfect knowledge yet either so they don't know! They might need guys like that. I wonder what the spirit world is like. I've read some stuff from prophets and their visions and they all are the same. Everybody is busy and has a "job" as in like a responsibility and it is so important and that there are so many things that happen there that we can't even comprehend that are important for the salvation of the soul
and hastening the work. Joseph Smith said something like even after we die, we still have to learn many things pertaining to our salvation before we are judged and exalted. I think that is super profound. Endure to the end doesn't just mean our mortal life, it means for
eternity. All the way until judgement (excluding the millennium I think because Satan will be bound) people, even saints, will have the ability to fall. We learn that even some of the elect will fall after the millennium,. Crazy stuff! Satan has real power and we really do
truly have to endure all the way until we are glorified beings with God, having received a fulness.

Anyways, enough of that and on to the good stuff. We didn't really get to teach that much this week. Akira San called us and said that he couldn't meet on Saturday because his work schedule changed and he wasn't sure if he would be able to come to church or not, and he was surprised and a little frustrated but he was able to come to church. We weren't able to teach him though and he said it will be like a week by week thing and he'll have to tell us. He works in construction or landscaping, and so when they have a project, that's what they do all day every day. So we will see. Next week is transfers and I have been here for almost six months, so I am almost guaranteed transferring next week. I will keep you updated on that too. Besides that, not much happened. Knocked on a lot of doors. Talked to a lot of people on the street. Was told quite a few times I am more Japanese than American. Don't have a problem with that. Oh, we went to a return appointment and there was this eight year old kid and he walked up and started talking to us and the return appointment was his friends house and he said he was just there and that the mom was home. Well, she didn't answer, so we talked to the kid again and we started playing catch, then soccer, then he grabbed his other friend and a soccer ball and played keep away, and then we did PKs too. Ben, or Elder Jenson would be so proud. I won in the PKs. That was about an hour and a half to fourty five minutes. Time flies when you're having fun! I'm sure they'll remember the time they played soccer in the street with a tall redhead and a Japanese guy with Jesus Christ on their nametags.

This week I've been thinking about prayer. It's so cool. But one specific thing is praying about your weaknesses, telling God what you're going to try and do and what you want from Him, and then going forth and doing your plan. AND THEN, being responsible, and taking
accountability every day, probably at night and telling God how you did. Why is this important? It shows God that you care. That you want to change. That you are trying. That you need His help. It shows God you are humble. It shows God that He can trust you. So everyone, find something you want to change, and then do your part, and God will do His! It may not be easy. It may take years, but you can all do it.
Love you all

 Elder Tschirki looking good. Got a new tie for a dollar (I have like
90. Most are from recycle shops for a dollar.) but this one is my
favourite.

The middle kid is the kid that first talked to us. 

 

A pretty sick breakdancer we found.

Nana chan. Nana means seven, so she's the seventh child. 
I completely forgot to talk about the Sakamoto family (8 kids family) 
but we  visited and it was way fun, as usual.

Go chan. She is the fifth child. Go means five. She's like three years old.

Our lovely branch when the Egans came. There are a couple people mission 
but this is the active members on Naze.
