Truth and Gravity

Gravity is there whether you like it or not. If you try to go against

it, it hurts. If you know the rules of gravity, you can do amazing

things, like acrobatics, or lunar landings. The same is with spiritual

truths. When we go against eternal truths, it hurts, which we call

guilt. That pain doesn't go away until you align yourself with truth.

Once you know the rules, you too, can do much more than you ever could

imagine.

My scripture of the week is Mosiah 24:15 "And now it came to pass that

the burdens which were laid upon Alma and his brethren were made

light; yea, the Lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their

burdens with ease, and they did submit cheerfully and with patience to

all the will of the Lord."

Alex didn't send any photos this time so I found two online of the area where he is

Kanji of the week is: 磁石 pronounced "Jee-shock" and means magnet.

Monday was good, but not too much to write about in the day time. At

night we visited a less active that was really receptive to the

message that we had to share with him, and it was so awesome to see

the Spirit work in him and see him want to change.

Tuesday was a lot of finding, but not much luck. We also had a lesson

with our recent convert. It was good, because we learned a lot about

his conversion story. We didn't have anything else happen after that.

Wednesday we went and biked far away. It was really good, because we

found a less active that was really nice, and that listened to us. He

hasn't come to church in a long time, and didn't know where the new

church building was. Hopefully he starts coming again. English class

was fun.

Thursday was weekly, and after that we did more finding, but not much

else happened according to my remembrance.

Friday was Zone Training Meeting, and we had a great time there. It

was very spiritual, and I was glad that we could learn from great

leaders and missionaries. Then we went back to Aizu and it rained for

a long time. Not much else happened.

Saturday was splits with Elder Mathews. It was fun, although not too

much happened. We did get some good conversations with people on the

street though. Our lesson in the evening with our recent convert was

great, especially because we had a member come and fellowship him.

Sunday was great, and I always love learning about the Gospel and

about Jesus. It was a good day, and we ran into a nice man while

housing. A lot of time went to district leader things.

That's my week. I hope that you all had and will have good weeks! Love you all!

Love,

Elder
