Konnichiwa Minasan!!

Hey, we had a very long week this week.  Elder C... is super cool, and he works really hard.  We seriously had no breaks at all this week and we even had to skip a lot of lunches and dinners cuz we were working so hard.  Hopefully we won't have to do that again cuz I seriously was super hungry all week.  But the work paid off.  We got the most lessons that I have ever seen in a week on my mission this week.  We started off with nothing and we are now leading the zone in lessons taught, baptismal dates, and new investigators.  We have really seen miracles.  Togane is super cool, and warm!  Which is awesome.  The ward is really nice and we have a big long list of people that want to feed us every week.  Oh and good news we get the ipads this Wednesday!  How sweet is that!?  The only downside is that we have to give back our wifi walkers when we get the iPads, so we will have to bike 30 min to the church to be able to use the Internet.  
 
In other news I got my violin back.  When Sister Budge heard that I played the violin, she had the Niigata elders send it to me so that I could play the violin with Elder C....  We haven't had a chance to play any duets yet but hopefully soon. 
Well that's all the time I have now.  Elder C... wants to do some finding again so we may have to skip dinner again.  lol  Love yah!!

The End Of Sakura:(

Hello Everyone, This is another report from yours truly Elder Stevens. Japan hasn't changed much this week except that all of the cherry blossoms or Sakura have died. :(  It was very sad but I am glad that I was able to see them. How have all of your weeks been? We officially got transfer calls this morning and guess what, Elder Cannon is leaving.  I will miss playing music with him. We met with another Chinese person yesterday named W... He is super nice and is getting baptized on the 11th of May. He is really good friends with K... and T...so I think this is going to go by very smoothly. Fingers Crossed. We set the baptismal date with him yesterday when we were teaching him with K... I think that this helped K... a lot because he asked us what would happen if he couldn't get baptized because of his parents. I think that it probably put baptism in the front of his mind again. Yes! We haven't had any baptisms yet this month or since T...

A Palace Adventure...

Hey everyone! How's it going?  Well another week has come and gone with a lot of sweet adventures.  I would like to talk about 2 of them in this email. As some of you have probably noticed on my Facebook page, we went with one of our investigators to tour the Imperial Palace and it was so sweet!  It's in the middle of Tokyo and it is so weird when you first see it because it's just a big forest and lawns in the middle of these huge skyscrapers.  They showed us some of the old guard towers as well as the old Imperial Tower where the emperor lived in a long time ago. Unfortunately, it had been burned down so only the foundation remains today.  What I loved most about the tour however was all of the old stories that they told us.  The first one was about 47 Samurai warriors.  Their master was a warlord but he offended the Emperor by trying to kill another warlord who hurt his honor.  The Emperor commanded the other warlord to comm...

    Hello everybody!   It's nice to finally be able to email you from Japan!  First off I'd just like to answer some questions.  I got mom's letter on friday and it was so cool to get a letter!  Thanks a lot!  I am sending a letter out today so hopefully you will receive it in 10ish days.  We can't wait to get your care package because they don't have american candy here at all!  Its terrible. my companions nearly mobbed me when they found out I had some jolly ranchers left over from the flight. lol  Thank you so much for all of your emails.  Its soo good to hear from all of you and I hope that you enjoy reading my emails as much as I enjoy reading yours.  Well now to the good stuff.   Well first off, I was assigned to one of the 2 english speaking areas in all of Japan.  I guess the Lord was reading the last email I sent that said I would miss singing hymns in English. lol At...
