(The preceding text was Japanese for "It's been a while!")
Greetings fellow earthlings; my apologies for the lack of posts over the last few weeks. Life is just as busy as ever (if not even more so). School has been going well, except for the fact that I always procrastinate my homework and leave it till the very last second (curses!!!). . .
Anyhoo, I thought I would give an update on my current plans and happenings:
The mission papers are in and "Ready for Assignment"! I had my final interview with the Stake President a few weeks ago, and he finally got the papers submitted to Salt Lake City on Thursday. I should hopefully have a mission call within the next couple of weeks. Feel free to comment and post a guess as to where I'll get sent. Whoever has the closest guess gets a candy bar (or something else a bit more exciting, we'll see. . .)
For those of you who don't know, I am in the Hale Center Theater Orem's production of A Christmas Carol, as a Tenor in the caroling choir. It's been pretty nice so far, and the show is going to be awesome! There are a lot of talented people involved this year. Reserve your tickets now! ;)
Changing to the Japan Fukuoka Mission
In February of 2010, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints published this statement to let its members know of changes happening in the Mission Field. Paul's mission, the Japan Hiroshima Mission, was one of the missions affected by this change. This is another article about the change to his mission. As of the first of July 2010, he is a part of the Japan Fukuoka Mission.
*As a side note, I stumbled upon Paul's new Mission President's blog where they have pictures of their missionaries. I don't know if there are any pictures of Paul, but I thought it was neat to see his mission from a different perspective!

"Lord of the Rings" Relates to Missionary Work
J.R.R. Tolkien, in The Fellowship of the Rings, wrote this:"The road must be trod, but it will be very
hard. And neither strength nor wisdom will
carry us far upon it. This quest may be
attempted by the weak with as much hope as
the strong. Yet it is oft the course of deeds
that move the wheels of the world: Small hands
do them because they must, while the eyes of
the great are elsewhere."
Alma 37:6 -- "Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness
in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple
things are great things brought to pass; and small means
in many instances doth confound the wise."
By small and simple efforts, the young missionaries of the
church really can "confound the wise" and help the kingdom
roll forth!
