Sorry, It's a holiday! The City Center was closed, and this place only gives us 30 minutes. Ah!
But hey, this week was pretty awesome!
We had Zone Conference this week at Okayama again. Wow, it took 60 dollars for there and back from Izumo, but now it's just 4 dollars each way on the train! We headed up Tuesday night to stay at the Zone Leaders' flat right by the church (I've stayed the night there every single time so far!) I have made some really good friends here.
Isa Kaicho is amazing! Once again, I heard things that I needed to hear; and some things weren't even spoken by the speakers, but I heard them nevertheless!
So, we saw Santa Claus a few weeks ago on a random street corner. And then we met him again Saturday night, and actually had a good conversation with him. Jim Whiff, from Sydney Australia - "Australia's Famous Sydney Santa!" He gave us his business card. Cool. Showed him your picture dad, but he didn't recognize you ;) Hah, that would have been cool.
We had dinner with an awesome couple last night! I love these wonderful new ward members! Life is great!
We have a lot of appointments this week, so things are going to be pretty busy!
OH I love you so much!!! Thank you so much for everything, for your words, and inspired guidance.
Ah, so much to say! I promise to write more next week!
Love you all so much!

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!
