Quick note....

Dear Mother, Father, Sisters, Brothers, Family, and Friends

Well, I`m back in my first area, Fushimi. Everything is also going haywire. Lol, I love my life, full of excitement and adventure.

Let`s just say that I love Fushimi, 2 of my old investigators that I had when I was here over a year and a half ago are still around. 1 has been going to church constantly since I left, even sang at the stake conference on Sunday with the YSA. Everyone seems pretty excited to see me back and way surprised that I can actually speak Japanese now. It`s been loads of fun seeing everyone again and I`m excited to be working here again.

My companion is currently sick and we have spent all of Preperation Day in the apartment. He looks like he`s about to die still, but we came out just to let everyone know that we are still alive. His name is Elder Toyosato from Okinawa. He`s on his last stretch as a missionary and goes home on the 18th of December. He`s sick, so I spent my whole day watching some church videos at the apartment. Including the Joseph Smith Movie. Yea, our washer is also broken so we haven`t been able to wash clothes. Life is fun, full of adventure!

Elder Tateishi`s Gospel Message of the Week

D&C101:16 "Be still and know that I am God."

Being still? Yep.....

Know that God is? Yep!

"Be still my soul, thy God doth undertake to guide the future as he has the past. Thy Hope, thy Confidence, let nothing shake. All now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still my soul, the winds and waves still know his voice who ruled them while he dwelt below." (Hymn 124; "Be still my Soul.")

Amen.
