It's been a crazy week in shinks...
Thursday night my comp and I were riding home from γ¨γγγ, I was singing a song about how cold my toes were and we were crossing a street and a car came out of no where and HIT MY COMPANION!!!!! He didn't even stop and just kept pushing her bike into the middle of a busy road, ran it over then finally decided to pull over. He got out and picked up her bike then said it was too cold, jumped in his car and drove away!!! We went to the police station and sorted everything out and they tracked down the guy and it's all γ γγγγΆ now. But my companion is pretty beat up so we haven't been able to dendo the past few days.
Still got to break out the snow boots and parka this week!! Woohoo! Working in snowstorms is cold but I just pretend I'm hiking Everest and it's a lot of fun.
Yesterday we had ZTM and something the Zone Leaders said that I loved was that Satan knows our fears and he knows how to take those small fears and turn them into something big. But if we have confidence and trust in God we will realize we have no reason to fear.
Being a missionary is really hard. I'm pretty sure I'm homesick everyday, I'm so far out of my comfort zone, I'm learning the hardest language in the world in the coldest mission in the word and some days 14 more months feels like an eternity. But the strengthening power of the Atonement is so real. I wouldn't have been able to make it through the past 4 months with out it. I'm seeing my weakness turn to strengths and I'm becoming the person I want to be. Change is hard but when you just let go and trust God, he really will make more out of you than you can ever make out of yourself. So as hard as it is, I'm so grateful to be a "frozen chosen" in the best mission in the world, Sapporo Japan. π»π☃⛩π
