Hey.
Here is the happenings of this week.
- Elder Yamashita of the Seventy came and we had a Mission
conference. We got to have an MLC with him which was cool. He has a lot of
energy.

- It rained more ☔
- Weather report says it won’t be raining this week. Big win
for the A Team.
- We found some really cool people. One of them works an
office position for Heineken. We’re curious as to how he’ll take The Word of
Wisdom if he gets to that point.
- We always knew our bishop did some type of
chiropractic/physical therapy type work but we never really knew exactly what
it was. Well my companion and I got a free adjustment from him today. Before
adjusting my companion Bishop Takeuchi looked at me dead in the eyes and said,
“You ever seen WWE?” Then puts Elder Schow into a hurricane twist. It was a
sight to see. Then he offered to see if anything was wrong with me. I felt
pretty okay but after a professional evaluation it turned out my right leg was
slightly longer than my left leg. I got adjusted and I’ll be honest, I feel
great. But unlike a chiropractor there’s no popping or anything. He would twist
my leg in a funny direction and then massage, stretch, and twist the muscles.
Turns out it’s a Japanese form of physical therapy that originated from the
Martial Art of Judo. So the literal translation of what he does from Japanese
is, “Judo Therapy”. My Bishop went to college, got a degree, and became a Judo
Therapist. That’s a guy I can hang with.

| This made me laugh. I'm sorry if you can't read it (and that I'm still a child), but it gives a detailed on different forms and colors of poop. According to the title, poop is the barometer of health. Who knew? |
I had a couple bad days this week. The reason I say that is
because, in all honesty, they’re rare. I would say that almost everyday is a
good day. But I got kind’ve whiny. I was letting circumstance get the best of
my attitude. But it caused some reflection. In that reflection, I had a chance
to try and direct feelings of gratitude towards those things that were making
me unhappy and found out that even things that suck at first have room to be
something positive. It was cool to feel that. There’s a poem I remembered
reading called “Invictus”. Forgive if I’m wording it wrong but the last few
lines say something like, “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my
soul”. I love that, just like how we have the power to choose which flavor I’ve
ice cream we want at Baskin Robbins, God gave us the same power to choose our
attitude, and how we react to the things that go on in life. Other than that
things have been pretty peachy. Hope everyone has an awesome week!
