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!!

Tokyo Revisited!

Hey Everyone! I'm back!  Yeah that's right, I'm back in the largest city in the world and having a blast.  My companion is awesome!  We get along so well!  We have the same sense of humor and he is almost as sarcastic as me. The past few days have been so fun just going on adventure after adventure in this huge city, talking to people, meeting with less actives and recent converts, and just laughing with each other.  I can definitely tell that this is going to be a sweet transfer.  His name is Faganello Choro and he is from Victoria, Canada.  I just keep working with people from everywhere but America. Our apartment is really cool as well.  We have Elder Nukaya from Idaho, who was in my zone when I was a zone leader in Tsukuba.  He is super hilarious as well, and at night we just joke around and tell old dendo stories.  It's really cool because we have a lot of old missionaries in our apartment right now.  I am transfer 15, Elder Johnson, who is Elder

MTC Provo,Utah

Eric entered the MTC on 17 July 2013 and has been having a wonderful time preparing to go to Tokyo, Japan.  We will include emails, pictures, and videos for friends and families to enjoy. Hi Everybody, Its time for my weekly update about my life here in the Lord's service.  Things are going very well here, I'm learning the language pretty well and I can now say a prayer, bare my testimony, read and write the hiragana fluently, and answer and ask simple everyday questions.  I just find it amazing that I am able to pick up on this really hard language so easily.  But I know that it's not because of just me. It's because the Lord is helping me every step of the way.  It rele is awesome to be able to feel the spirit all day every day.  This is a new feeling that I have never felt before and I love every second of it.  To answer some questions that I have gotten, unfortunately I dont see Dallin very often, he has a completely different time schedule than

Transfers!!

Hey everyone! Whats up?  Right now I am on a train to Tokyo so that we can go to the temple!  From Tsukuba where I am right now it takes about 2 hours by train to get there so we have a long ride ahead of us.  I'm really hoping to get some inspiration at the temple today for a big Christmas devotional that we are hosting this Friday.  It's really important because it's the meeting to start out our big Christmas miracle.  We are going to have 100 baptisms from now to Christmas. That's going to be huge!  But we need to make sure that the meeting goes well. So we just got our transfer calls yesterday and I am really surprised because I am actually staying.  My companion is leaving though to open a new area for Elders.  It's pretty exciting!  I will be getting a new companion named Elder Scoville!  He is from Sacramento, California and he is amazing!  He was actually one of the district leaders who I have been working with in the zone last transfer.  I
