Hey Everyone!

                  This week was so great! We got in contact with Watanabe San again, and he came to church and a baptismal service with us yesterday! He's doing really well. He wants to be baptized but isn't very sure he'll be able to stop smoking. But he's praying every day to be able to stop and we gave him a priesthood blessing so I think he'll be able to stop. It may take some time but he can do it. We also had a 23 year old man come to church yesterday because he saw the sign for English class in front of our church. He looked it up and found out more about the Church and decided he wanted to go. He seemed to enjoy it, he said he's going to come to English class on Tuesday and church again next Sunday, and we gave him a Book of Mormon and taught him about prayer and he said he likes reading so he might read the whole Book of Mormon before Tuesday! I'm really excited to meet him again and start teaching him.

                  We had some other great things happen, we had another lesson that went well with Goto San, a member's husband, and we met a lady on the street who said she'll come to church next Sunday. We also have an appointment with the Yamada family next week, that's the family I mentioned before where the dad has ALS. We're excited to meet with them again. We're also building better relationships with members and the ward is becoming more unified.

                  Also, we got transfer calls this week and Elder Lalo and I are staying together in Shiroishi! We're both way happy. But, a lot of the zones and districts changed so although we're in the same area we're in a different district, the one with the zone leaders so that'll be fun. Also, we went to the Snow festival last week! But I forgot to get the pictures off my camera so I'll send them next week. I love you all! The Church is true! Have a great week!

Love,

Elder Burton
