Happy Mother's Day! Today I had the wonderful opportunity to
talk to my parents for a bit. As usual, my parents are cooler than yours.
So this past week Elder Harrison and I have been having an absolute
blast. He's a real fun guy to be around and loves working hard. One of the
people we found this week is the reason for he title. While knocking on doors
we came across an apartment stacked with college students. This one really cool
dude answered the door, and before me stood a Japanese version of Jeff Spicoli.
(I'll give a 100-yen to whoever knows who Jeff Spicoli is.) But for those who
don't get the reference, it was a Japanese version of your classic beach bum
California surfer dude with long hair and no shirt on. He was stoked to see
missionaries, went to a Christian high school, believes in Christ, gladly took
a Book of Mormon, and will be meeting us again next Sunday. For sure; Party on
dude.
I got to translate again at Zone Meeting, it's fun, but
gracious it’s tiring. I'm pretty sure my brain is sore. Or I just have a
headache, one of the 2.
Last thing I want to talk about is love. Love is the driving
force behind everything good. Although it can sometimes be hard to express,
love makes the difference between truly serving, and just getting your hands
dirty. Doing good deeds is important, but more important is the motive behind
the good deed. When doing something for someone else, practice doing it out of
love. Plus it makes service that much more fun!
愛しています、
