Birthdays!

On Wednesday for our English conversation class we threw a birthday celebration for one of our students. We learned the week before that the next Wednesday it was going to be her birthday. She was very happy.

Reply to Sister Breksa

You are really into birthdays.  Is that just a Sister Breksa thing or direction from the president?

Answer

I guess a Sister Breksa thing. Sister W. and Sister B. are really into it as well. We have been compiling the birthdays onto a Calendar.- Visit those who don’t come to church making Happy Birthday house calls. It helps people feel loved, I think.

so what is behind them is what Sister Breksa sees each day as she leaves to bring happiness to others.

Letter Home: Dated April 14, 2014

Yesterday my companion and I went to the chapel to watch the Sunday Session of General Conference. We biked to the closest trolley station in the rain. Took 2 trolleys and rode with a member up the huge hill, jokingly referred to as The Hill of Faith. General Conference seemed so short! Luckily we were able to watch it in English with some other missionaries upstairs while the conference was shown downstairs in Japanese. 

On one of the trolley rides I felt prompted to study my Japanese flash cards, so I did. I then felt like I should approach this lady and ask her questions about Japanese. I got up from my seat, walked over to her and sat down right next to her. I asked her if I could ask her a question. She nodded happily. She answered my question. I had another one. We were talking, but it was approaching our stop. We said good bye. She seemed very happy. The people on the trolley were listening and watching.

I ask bold questions that my calling gives me the authority to ask.
