Shoveling snow

11 Feb 14

Well I didn't get transferred. It's a little weird that I'm staying in my first area this long but I like it here so I'm not complaining. What is really weird though is my current companion Elder Crain is getting transferred. But not only is he getting transferred but he's going to be with companions with Elder Quilter my MTC companion! My new companion’s name is Elder Huntsman. I don't think I've ever met him but he will get here Thursday so that's fairly soon.

So he had something special happen last week we got a referral from Mormon.org. Someone in Washington asked us to go visit their friend who lives in our area. I thought I would be lucky if I received one of these kinds of referrals my entire mission. It's awesome that I got one so early. So we went to go visit him on Saturday. Little did we know that Saturday would be the biggest snow storm that Tokyo’s received in 40 years. To us it didn't feel that big, but Tokyo definitely wasn't prepared for it. We got all the way to the apartment though, but no one was home. We guessed that the family was out making a snowman. We are going to try and visit them again today though. Also, Sunday turned into one huge service day. We spent almost the entire day shoveling snow for people. It was a lot of fun and we also met a lot of really good people. Including one person that I handed a free English flyer earlier that week, it was a bit of a coincidence.

Well that was kinda the big thing of the week. Love all of you a lot,

Elder Davies
