GREAT WEEK,  SHORT EMAIL!

Dearest Family and Friends,

This past week was great. We were able to teach 21 lessons and find 4 new investigators. Our area is really doing well and we have been hugely blessed lately. Kosuke is doing really well still, please keep praying for him. I am loving working with Elder Higashi and being in Narita. Life is good. I was recently reading in Alma and had some cool insights. I really like how in Alma 17:10 the Spirit tells the sons of Mosiah to be comforted and then it specifies that they were comforted. I think a lot of times we feel the Spirit comfort us and are comforted momentarily, but then forget what we felt and stress or are sad again. It's important to accept and remember what the Spirit tells us. Life is so good! Have a wonderful week!

Love,

Elder Calhoun

 This is indo curry.  It's so good.  I'm praying it's in America.

 This is Kosuke!  He's the best.  The woman is Sister Tabuchi, the stake president's wife.  She has crazy fire for the work and is the best.  She helps us so much.

 Yu Oto!  He's a recent convert that I've heard a ton about but met for the first time last week.  He always does the pose I'm doing in this picture (except for this one I guess).

 Sato Kyoudai asked us to help him buy some plants for his garden.  He didn't really need our help though and just ended up helping us take this big bag of carrots home.  He's too nice.  I really like this photo, though I;m not entirely sure why.

 This is Ayumu, one of our investigators, and Elder Higashi.  Elder Higashi asked Ayumu if he wanted to retake this photo as his eyes were closed, but they were open lol.  He's so kind.

One of the new investigators we found is this guy, Tanaka San!  He's 91 and a WWII vet.  He said he's looking for truth and had met missionaries previously.  In between the time they met him and we met him, he read the whole Book of Mormon!  Super interesting guy.  He's about to start working again so he can make more money.
