Konnichiwa! sorry this is going to be suuper short. (:

this week has been super cold hahha. It rains or snows every day and always freezes over which makes it really difficult to bike hahah. we fish tail a lot and if you try to brake on the ice your bike kinda collapses. It's definitely an adventure (:

my companion and I started to get frostbite on our toes but it's slowly going away. Pipers shimai's was a lot worse than mine but we got her some really warm socks today so hopefully we'll be okay? we had a CRAZYY thunder/lightening/hail storm here on saturday and while we were biking back to the apartment some lightening hit like 10 feet behind us. suuuuuper yabbai. (legit) but we were safe and definitely being watched over.

another cool thing that happened this week was with a new investigator named S san. she's 88 years old and had pancreatic cancer. she had surgery about 18 years ago but every day she has to drink this gross water/bits of stick looking things (she made me try it) and she has pain every day. but when we left she told us that while we were there she didn't feel any pain at all. She was so excited and so happy to set another appointment with us (: IT WAS SO AWESOME. Obviously it's not us but she could feel the Spirit of God through us and that alone blows my mind every time. IT IS THE BEST BEING A MISSIONARY. She's insanely precious. oh also i didn't understand anything else she said besides feeling power with us. and we brought a japanese member with us and she didn't understand anything either. it is going to be a miracle to teach her. I've never not understood anyone more than I can't understand her. But that's what relying on the Lord is all about, right?

I love you all! I'm always praying for you. thank you for the emails liz and jess (: I'm excited to get your letters. <3

love,

sister daniels
