the one where he went to a castle 🏰

"Boom you looking for this?"

Starting with Tuesday we went to a super cool castle! However it doesn't look like a traditional Japanese castle at all! It was also full of tons of optical illusions for taking pictures. It was a ton of fun though and probably the most fun P Day I've had in Japan!

Wednesday we had another party at Takuya's house and he taught us how to make Hiroshima style okonomiyaki and it was so good! After eating we played lots of card games and we taught him how to play Go Fish. I absolutely loved it and we played it like 4 or 5 times with him XD. 

Thursday we went to dinner with a member and we went to this really old place and he said he hadn't been there in 30 years so he couldnt guarantee the taste. We spent the entire dinner listening him to hate on everything he was given which was hilarious. Some food he said was ok at best and then other things he tried and said he wouldnt eat. We had almost 20 ぎょうざ which are like pot stickers and he tried one and said he wouldnt eat anymore so my comp and I had to down the rest.

Friday we spent a big chunck of the day helping other missionaries move someone in their ward which was a lot of fun! Now, you might think that I would finally move someone where there isn't cat hair everywhere because I haven't seen a single pet cat in Japan. However, you couldn't be more wrong. Yours truly is unable to move someone on the mission save they have cat hair on every inch of everything they own😐😑😐

On the bright side, we got free lunch and even though there was cat hair EVERYWHERE it was still fun and I really enjoy being able to serve and do things with my hands so it was good. To end the day, we played ping pong and card games at the church and had 5 of our friends show up! We've been doing it every friday and its been so great!

Spiritual Thought 

2 Nephi 27:23

For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith.

"Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see."

–C.S Lewis 

Ah yeah miracles are just the best...

God really does bless us in so many ways and he truly is a God of miracles. I know that God fills our lives with miracles all we have to do is look for them! This week I want to hear about the miracles in your guy's lives! So please look for the miracles that God puts into your life this week and send me an email with them! I REALLY want to hear from you guys!

Well that was my week and man did it fly by!! Having P day on Tuesday always makes the next week go by so fast! I hope to see your miracles this week!!

Enos 1:12 And it came to pass that after I had prayed and labored with all diligence,

the Lord said unto me:

I will grant unto thee according to thy desires, because of thy faith.

1 Nephi 1:1 I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents,

therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father;

and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days,

nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days;

yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God,

therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days.
