FUNBUN to FUKUOKA

June 26, 2016

Hello loved ones!

I don't want to write much this week, I instead just want to share a quote from conference. It was from this past conference by Gerrit w Gong entitled 'Always remember Him.' It reads, 'Sometimes that strength is not within us, but it can be found in remembering the Atonement of our Savior, Jesus Christ.' We taught the relief society lesson yesterday on this talk and afterward a sister pulled me aside and pointed out this sentence and we talked about it. Im so thankful for that brief moment we had together to be reminded of the reach of the Savior's atonement. We are so weak as humans. In every way. It truly is only through the Savior's atonement that we can receive the strength we need.

I won't go too much farther into the quote, because I want everyone to take it as they may. I do encourage everyone to read the talk though. It's incredible.

The Savior lives and He loves us, and I'm thankful for this time to get to serve Him. I'm thankful he works through us and through our weaknesses. This is the one true church.

All my love, Sundell Shimai

Finally encountering the infamous Japanese spiders I've heard about. After this experience I felt so much sympathy for Ron Weasley and his traumatic giant spider attacks. In an attempt to get the spider away from the door we rolled a rock at it but instead of running away it ATTACKED the rock. Yeah we didn't end up ringing those peoples doorbell. Their salvation will have to come a different day.
