Email May 21, 2018 – Elder Jackson Kunzler Burton

Hey Everyone!

                  This week was awesome! We had a mission conference with Elder Rendlund, it was amazing! It was my first time shaking hands with an Apostle and it was really cool. He taught us some really cool things. One thing was about the importance of both effort and attitude. If you only have effort but not a good attitude, you work hard but without any joy, without any belief in yourself, without any faith in God. But if you have only a good attitude but no effort, you just talk the talk but don't actually get anything done. If we have both, miracles can happen. Elder Rendlund was really fun to listen to, he's really funny and easygoing but he also had such a powerful spirit about him. After that, we had some good lessons with investigators, we were given Costco pizza by a less active lady, and we ate at the ward mission leader's house. His house and everything in it looks more American than anywhere I've been in Japan, it was awesome! Now I'm in Asahikawa for zone conference, we just had zone activity where we played soccer and frisbee, it was way fun but now the whole zone is sunburned haha. First day of the year spending a lot of time in the sun is always pretty bad. But it was fun! Anyway, that's about it for this week, it was great! Have a great week everyone!

Love,

Elder Burton
