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!

MTC #4: So Little Time

Sorry, I have run out of time again!! not on the email time, but today was just full. Elder De Menezes had a Lumbar Puncture (ouch!) yesterday. The neurologist thinks that his problem might be rooted in Multiple Sclerosis or something stroke-related. I'm hoping it's nothing that serious. He had a tumor a few years ago that squashed the nerves on the right side of his face. All this information!! So little time to write it!

Anyway, I came to an awesome realization this week. I've been thinking way too much about myself and what I want. The hardest moments were when I was consumed with myself. Then all of a sudden, I started trying to stop focusing on myself and life was BEAUTIFUL! I'm still kind of nervous for teaching on Thursday, but I think this week will be better!
Thank you so much for the prayers, packages, letters, and that AWESOME article!!! It made me so excited for my after-mission career pursuit!!

More coming next week, sorry!! I love you!

"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!
