We received the excellent news this week that the travel department has sent in our passports to receive our visa. This is a good sign that things are moving in the right direction. Yay!! We feel our time is short in Salt Lake City.
The MTC finally stopped my Japanese lessons after 1 year and 5 months. I am so grateful for the language lessons that I have received. Most of the time I was taking lessons twice a week. I continue to study at least an hour a day. Fred and I try to speak in Japanese on our walks. Shortly after our arrival in Japan, we anticipate young missionaries that have been waiting like us to come to Japan. We will be busy setting up apartments, moving furniture, and running the office while the President will be very busy with these new missionaries. We still have a year left on our mission. Keep your fingers crossed and your prayers coming. We have high hopes that we will make it this time.
In the meantime, we continue to count our blessings. We attend the temple weekly. We see our parents every weekend. We enjoy lunches at the COB (Church Office Building) where a brother plays piano music every day. We enjoy walks in the canyon and around the capital. We have a comfortable apartment, albeit small. We just received General Conference tickets for the upcoming conference. We have service that we can give that keeps us engaged and busy. We started teaching English to our Japanese missionaries which allow us to be more involved with our missionaries in Japan. We are able to participate in important family events. We are blessed "Be content with such things as ye have." Hebrews 13:5

10 more days--Our mission is coming to a close

10 more days-- our mission is coming to a close. What an amazing experience this has been!! We have seen God's hand in our life in so many ways. We feel the windows of heaven have been opened to us that there is not even room to receive it. We have grown closer to each other and closer to the Lord. We arrived when the sakura trees were blooming. Now, they are blooming again. Walking under the blossoms gives you a sacred feeling that you are somewhere very special. This is my favorite walking path. There is a lady who cares for these flower boxes every day. I have enjoyed seeing them on my way to the river walk. Today, I saw a miracle with the ward choir. They asked me to lead the choir when we first arrived. I have sang in many choirs, all of my life. I have never led a choir. We started out just singing hymns but eventually added more and more difficult music.  I wanted to sing "Let Us All Press On". This is a difficult piece sung by the Choir at Temple Square. I had hig

Enjoying our time here...

We decided last P-day to go to Universal City. It was a fun and memorable day. The weather cooperated with a beautiful spring day. The adventure started even before we arrived by riding the train and then subway in Osaka. It was packed body to body, a full contact sport. When we got in the subway, we were jam packed. I was wondering if the door would close. Then we stopped at another station. An additional 5 people got on the train. We were absolutely smashed together. The people at Universal City all wore crazy hats. It seems the more outlandish the hat the more they enjoyed them. I loved seeing these little cuties. Our favorite spot was the Harry Potter castle and village. They have really strived to recreate the book. You walk through a forest before arriving at the village. We saw the flying blue car, Mirror of Erised, the talking pictures on the walls, the Fat Lady guarding the door, the Sorting Hat, Dumbledore's office and many more.  We would have bought some butterbeer but

Daruma Doll

Image
President and Sister Halvorson gave the missionaries a Daruma doll for New Years.  The Daruma doll is rich in symbolism and is a sign of good luck for the new year. The eyes are blank. Once you determine your goal,  you color in the first eye. At the end of the year, you complete your goal and finish the other eye. The Daruma doll wobbles but won't stay down. If you tip it on it's side, it uprights itself. This is symbolic of perseverance in striving toward your goal. You may falter but just pick yourself up and keep trying. President Russell M. Nelson, the prophet gave us a New Year's Message for 2023... Be Patient... Be Persistent.. Be Prayerful...
