Watashi no ai suru kazoku, konichiwa. im still in hakodate and elder endlsey is still my companion! SO HAPPY! All is going well with our investigators. We had THREE come to church yesterday. BANZAI! It was truely a great day. All of our investigators are going strong and we couldn't be happier about that. A lot of people are wanting to change their lives and it's a beautiful thing to see. I'm glad that moms surgery went well. We were praying hard. I know that you're doing hard work staying cheerful right now mom but it is worth it to be a source of relief rather than a burden of negativity. Times are tough but they always have a way of working out. I still love it here and even on my rough days I work hard to be genki and cheerful. I'm on my 6th transfer only 10 more to go. Each transfer goes faster and the end seems closer. Sometimes it feels like the end is right around the corner and others like it couldn't be further. But it's almost been a year, crazy huh. Being on a mission is so much fun. I love it. Lots of good times. I feel very content with life. I hope the feeling is mutual. Please stay strong in all things. Talk to you next week! I love you all and pray for you every night. Love, Sims Shimai
