Do you float on?

 Hello everyone! I've gotta send my email a little weird this week. However, things are going great! Right now I am on a train headed for Tokyo. Me and my zone get to go to the temple today and do an endowment session. Afterwards we will split into 2 groups and go to Tokyo station and another huge station and all street. It should be super sweet. After we get to stay in the temple housing which is located underneath the temple I believe. So I am pretty excited as this opportunity comes to few haha. Anyways this last week was crazy, full of unexpected things and changes, but through it all we were able to see progression. In short my beloved Brazilian companion had to go to Maebashi due to the bike accident so I am now with another elder. Really really sad. Elder Deholanda got pretty teary eyed as this was his first transfer having to get ripped away from so much. However when actual transfers happen in 2 weeks we are hopping for him to come back and run 1 more together in Kiryu. However, who knows.

This week a lot of stuff happened. However, I feel adequate to just share about someone we are teaching named Kagari San. We were finally able to teach her with a member and it went so well. Then she came to church 2 days later for sacrament meeting and absolutely loved it and felt the spirit at church. It was just 1 hour which was perfect because I was able to introduce her to my family, the Matsunmas (my Japan family). As I introduced her to my older and younger sister they quickly put together a plan and we all went to their house later at 5 and had a good lesson and meal with them and another family in our ward with 4 daughters and it was perfect. She is now praying about baptism and we are praying that she gets an answer! We weren't able to meet Kan San this week sadly, but we did find a Brazilian that is very interested and coming to church on Sunday. So me and Deholanda 長老 will be able to run an exchange on Saturday and Sunday which I am very excited for. 

I was able to listen to the Saturday morning session of conference and loved the talk by Allen D. Haynie about listening to the Prophet's guidance which is very important. I know Russell M Nelson and his apostles are true and directed directly by Jesus Christ.

Till next time - Elder Parker
