TRANSFER

Well, It's a transfer- and just like it's been my whole mission, I can't stay in a place more than 2 or 3 transfers. 
So, I'm going to Odate. And I'm going to be companions with Elder Hill. (Not the one in my apartment right now, the other one). So, it should be cool and stuff. 
I've heard two things about Odate so far 
1. The is a TON of snow. 雪はすごいねって言われている
2. There are only about 7 active members in the branch.

So it should be fun. :) I love Japan. 




Here's something. Sorry, this week is busy. 

"I think transfers are a good opportunity to reflect on how the area and you have changed over the past couple of months. 
I've become a better person because of Hachinohe, but I was also able to see quite a bit of growth since I've come here. 
I don't attribute it to myself or any sort of work ethic, though we are working hard, but rather whenever we find an investigator it seems to come randomly from the grace of God. 
When I started here there was only one investigator, and now we have seven. 
We'd work hard, and people would just show up out of the blue to church, or people asking questions about the bible would appear on the street. 
The whole time I just thought how blessed I am, and how truly this work is in the hands of the Lord. 
If we're not worthy, then we don't qualify for the Spirit, and are like rats in a maze; just wandering around aimlessly for some sort of sign. 
That's one of the deepest lessons that I've learned on my mission- we're useless unless we're moved by the hand of the Lord. "

Love ya'll 
Elder Wheelwright
