First
week in Japan!
Hey
everyone!
I love Japan so much! When we got to the
airport in Sapporo President McClure took us to get ramen, and it was
delicious! Pretty much all the food I've had so far is delicious, although I
haven't had sushi yet surprisingly. It's cold, but not too bad, it hasn't
snowed yet. We got to go to the temple on our first day! It was so amazing! The
Sapporo temple is the most beautiful temple I've ever seen. I've been assigned
to the Eniwa area, it's a city just south of Sapporo. My trainer is an Elder
from Meridian Idaho named Elder Hess. He's an amazing missionary. This is his
last transfer, which is sad, but he's got a lot of experience and we work
really well together. Working here has been so awesome, I get so excited every
time we have any sort of success, like handing out a Book of Mormon. I just
know that if they'll open up their hearts to the message it will bless their
lives so much! I need tons of work in the language, I feel pretty incompetent
most of the time, but I know through Christ I can do all things. Today we went
to the airport for P-day, they have a lot of cool stuff there, including a
chocolate museum which was pretty cool. I'll send some of the pictures from
this week, some of them are on my camera though, and I can't get them off it
yet. Until it snows I'm just using an old bike that's been left at the church
for forever since it could start snowing at any time and once there's snow we
won't be able to bike. I don't have much time left, there's not nearly as much time to email as I
had at the MTC. Something we learned during training from President McClure is
that faith is a principle of action and power. If you truly have faith, it will
lead you to some sort of action, and then you will have power. Remember that
through faith anything is possible. God will support you through all trials.
But it takes action on our part. I love
you all! Have a great week!
Love,
Elder
Burton
