HAPPY Holidays!!!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️

 Hello Everyone!

Here is my top 10 from this week.

Teaching my companion how to ride a bike. There were a couple grannies that nearly got whiped out. My comps a big 6'4" Polynesian guy from Australia. It would have done some damage....🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

One of the other churches held a Chrismaa Concert. I sang in the choir. A famous comedian came and they broadcasted it on the radio! 

My friend that I met online came to church and brought me a big bag of Mochi!👨‍🎤👨‍🎤

The ward here blessed us with Christmas Presents! I have so much food and candy! 🍬 🍫 🍭 

We ate all you can eat Shabuyo(Hotpot) on Christmas! It was awesome.

All the missionaries went carolling on Chirstmas! Singing christmas hymns in Japanese is super cool!

I hit a 3-4 second wheely while streeting. 🚲 It resulted in contact information......

We had a huge YSA party at a members house and made pizzas. (They rock hotdogs, eggs, potatoes, corn, and all sorts of whacky stiff) 🥹😿

Receiving gifts and messages from everyone at home! Thankyou all so much! 


The best thing was having the opportunity to truly learn about Christmas as a missionary!

Just like Mary I was far from my home. (Riding my bike) 😄🤷‍♂️

Just like the the angels I was able to share messages of Good tidings and great joy!

Just like the the Wiseman I had opportunities to share my gifts. 

And most significantly this Christmas I was able to make a small sacrifice . I think all missionaries around the world would love to be home with their family's, watching Christmas movies, and opening presents. I missed all my family traditions. But, to put my wants and desires aside and to serve and Minster to others, made me understand a little bit more fully the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for me. A sacrife that was made out of love for us! A sacrifice that was made so we could feel joy!  I am so far from Jesus Christ as a person, but this Christmas I felt like I was able to represent him more. This year I have been able to understand what the Christmas Story is about. I have learned more about who Jesus Christ is. And I can confidently say that this was the most memberable and joyfilled Christmas's of my entire life. 🎄🎅

He wasn't only born, but He also lives! 

Happy Holidays Everyone

-Love Elder Pohlman!

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. 🔒
