Jarrett Weekly Letter 6.1.2014

Dear Family,
 
I am sorry I don't have much time to write this week but it was a pretty dang good week.
 
So to start of Elder Christofferson of the quorum of the 12 apostles came and visited our mission. We were privileged to hear from him Wednesday morning, and he was absolutely amazing. He asked if we had any questions and he freakin used the spirit for every question as he answered them and he used the scriptures for every answer that was really cool.  Then for the last part he told us that we really need to work with NA and that will help us boost up our numbers. He said in Hokkaido over 70 percent of the members are NA and not coming to church. That really struck a cord with me and how I really haven't been focusing on them at all so I really want to start changing that. So that was a really cool experience.
 
Then next was yesterday. SO it was the last day of the week and our numbers were really bad. We didn't have one lesson to count for the week and really  just wanted to teach a lesson. Well within the first 20 minutes we taught one lesson. Then also another miracle, we housed about 4 apartment complexes. And after the 3rd one nobody in all of the apartments didn't answer their door. Well we get to this next one and me and my companion were both saying how we should be just skip it because it is a waste of our time, because nobody is home. Well we both had the feeling that we needed to do it. Well the LAST apartment door we pinged a guy came out and we taught him a really good lesson that was a really cool experience and he really wants us to come back next week. After that we went streeting at the park. The a last contact of the night we talked to was a 19 year old kid who wants to be a professional photographer and it was so sick to talk to him! He is going to Tokyo to go take some pictures for a couple of weeks and then he is coming back! So that is going to be so dope to teach him he is pretty interested and totally got is phone number and everything! So a couple of miracles for the last day of the week which really felt nice!
 
Well that is all from me!
 
Love you guys!
 
Love, Elder Nielsen
