Hey Friends and Family!

This week has been crazy! You may have heard that the Sendai and Tokyo missionaries have been all evacuated. We got a call on Wednesday afternoon saying that the next day 41 missionaries from Tokyo were coming into our mission. It was crazy busy here. But, I am happy to say that it all went smoothly. On Thursday night, we had a pretty fun night and we all slept at the Fukuoka church building. By Friday, every missionary was in an area. I also have an extra new companion. Now it is me, Elder Ecchu, and Elder Kretly. He is from Brazil! But, he speaks English perfectly. It is way fun. It is such a huge blessing to have all of these new missionaries here. Also, I really feel like it is a blessing that I have been able to stay here in Japan. The missionaries that were in the MTC with me that went to Tokyo were sent home a few days ago. I feel so blessed that the Lord gave me this extra time to serve Him and the people of Japan. Through this earthquake experience and prayer I have been able to come to the knowledge that Christ lives and through Him we will all be resurrected. I know that it is my calling to testify of Him and I will do it for the time I have left here in Japan and I will do it for the rest of my life. I love you all so much. I'm sorry this is such a short e-mail. But, it is way busy at the mission home and my companions need to use the computer. I love you all so much. I will keep you updated on everything as I know it. Love ya
