Happiness 😊

In all honesty this was probably one of the hardest weeks of my life. This is what I have learned.

D&C 29 39  for if they never should have bitter they could not know the sweet—

I am so grateful for the bitterness and challenges of the mission this week. It has helped me see the sweetest and most glorious thing of all. I have better learned 2 things that I think will change my life forever.

1. God truly loves us.

2. Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer.

I know this are true. Because during the most bitter times of my week, when feeling hopeless, being unable to communicate with others, feeling regret for my shortcomings and wanting to give up, I would go into the my small closet and pray. As I pour my heart out to the lord, I have never felt such an overwhelming sense of hope and happiness. It is a sweetness that is only offered because God loves us, and he send his Son to save us. 

I am in tears writing this email because of how grateful I am to know my Savior Jesus Christ. 

Every morning I am overwhelmed with excitement to put his name over my chest and serve him. 

I love you all!!!
I am so happy to be here in Japan! 
There is no better joy the helping others feel the sweetness of Jesus Christ! 😊😊😊😊

Mtc Week 1..... (goated)

  What's up everyone!!!!! Saturday is my P-day at the Mtc so here is my first email. Its going to be short and sweet.😃 The MTC is awesome. I genuinely had a great first couple days. My district is awesome and I landed eagle on my kendama. It was genki. 😆 I have had 6 aloha plates in 3 days.... (it's mobettahs but not quite as good). I'm hoping I don't get sick of them.  I am known in my district for making the shimais (sisters) smile.  All jokes aside it's been fun to lock in and focus on the work. The spirit is everywhere and it's fun to be so intune with it. I feel like I have learned a lot already. Japanese will be a challenge but I'm stoked to start learning more. There are thousands of missionaries going all over the world. It's a cool sight.  Jesus lives. Love you all -Pohlman Chourou Your weekly Japanese learning: Shu shu shyouze It means lock in. 🔒
