  Hello everyone! Sorry for another voice message. This week was awesome! Please listen! Love you all -elder Pohlman  Konichiwa, minna-san. Um, Elder Pullman here. I'm gonna be sending a voice message today out of lack of time. But thank you for listening. This week was insane. Um, today we went fishing on P-day. Uh, zero fish caught, one canceled lesson. Those were our stats, so. an average day on the river. Um, this week was really cool though. We saw a lot of, like, insane miracles. at the beginning of the week, our zone leader, like, challenged us to do, like make ultra-specific, like, plans and goals. so Wednesday morning, I was, like, was kinda joking, but I was like, "Let's find a lady in a purple sweatshirt and, like, baptize her." And so we're like, "Okay, we'll do it." And, like, at first I was, like doubting it, I'm like, "There's no way that happens," 'cause we'll talk to a hundred people and, like, no one...

 Hello Everyone!!!! Thankyou for falling for my clickbait title. It is really hard for me to take time to send emails here. A lot of people dream of coming go kyoto. On p days we basically explore the whole city.lol The work here is difficult. There are a lot of people that are somewhat interested, but are too busy to actually try their faith. The hardest part of the work is when people open up to you about trials or things they are dealing with, but then won't take the time to be healed by our savior. (Also i just hit 3 months today and I am not used to waking up at 6:30 every day. 🙃) HIGHLIGHT! BIKES 🏍  When streeting we were talking to a guy that was interested but he said he was super busy. (He didn't want go meet with us again). I thought to myself, how could I use my talents to help him. My first thought that came to mind was to talk to him about sports(shohei san ⚾️🧢). But that wasnt good enought. My next thought was genuous. A massive wheelie!! We have been practici...

  Hello everyone! I am doing genki(well).  I just went to 7-11 and got fried chicken, onagiri (kinda sushi thing), and an insane waffle ice cream thing. It was all like 2 dollars. Awesome sauce! We had zone conference on Thursday and it was electric. There are a lot of really good diligent missionaries that were super fun to hear from. My mission President is the best too. He is so funny and exciting, but he also is very serious with the expecting of who he wants us to be as missionaries! We found some more insane japanese temples and shrines.  This place really is amazing. The work here is a grind, but so fun and rewarding. On Thursday my comp found a sign for our english class. As a joke he put it up in front of the church. We had a Chinese friend see it and come to english class and church yesterday! It was awesome. Crazy miracle. Our friends name is Kramer. He loves the Chinese BOM!!! We also had a friend that we showed the baptismal font to and as we were talking abo...

Transcribed voice memo Hello, everybody. I am sending a voice message today.So sorry about that if you like to read, but voice messages are fun, I feel like.Um, Pohlman Shoto here. I'm in Kyoto, Japan. It's so sick.I got Elder Strong as my trainer. We have been going to work. It's been a really fun time. We're opening a new area, so we have no, like, friends. So we've been doing a lot of streeting. Um, that's my favorite part by far is just streeting, 'cause like, I don't know, there's a... We live, in our area, there's a couple th- uh, daigakus, some colleges. So there's a lot of college kids, and they're a lot more eager to, like, listen to us. And so basically we'll just, like, sit on the street corners and walk around, and, "Hey, I'm an idiot from America. Can I talk to you?" And they'll be like, "Oh. Go ahead.”And so, we'll talk to them for a little bit, and there's a lot of rejection. Lots of peo...
