Week 1 - July 26, 2025 - At home MTC


At-home MTC has been phenomenal! I have the best district and teachers! It definitely took some time to get used to staring at a computer screen all day, but I've been able to feel the Spirit so strongly. I get to study, talk, and testify of Christ everyday! 

Nothing too crazy has happened while everything is online, but I did find out that one of my MTC teachers is in a lot of church films, and my other MTC teacher has a brother in the other district they are teaching, and he's going to my mission! My comp is also super cool, and always has an amazing thought to share. 

Spiritual Thought:

As I've been studying Preach My Gospel, it has repeatedly testified to me that it has been written by prophets! Heavenly Father truly knows every one of us and He wants the Japanese people to return to Him. Prophets have given us the resources to be able to preach His gospel!

What a crazy week! Time is short, so forgive the short email! Highlights: -my new district is awesome -met some awesome people -being humbled -stake sports day! READ THIS PART  One of our teaching friends shared with us some questions he had about the Plan of Salvation, and then gave one of the best explanations of the three kingdoms I have ever heard! He described the kingdoms almost like "A" "B" "C" levels of happy or like 100%, 50% or 10%, but then pointed out that for the people living there, it is there own personal, "100%" happy! Just how in Alma 42 it describes how we are restored to our natural frame, and it would be unnatural to restore an unhappy person to happiness, people who have never lived a "celestial" life will not comprehend that is is the true "100%" happy. Just how someone living in America might say that their living space is joyful, someone living in Bermuda can also say their living space is joyful. One ...

This week was incredible and incredibly hard. I love it! Highlights:  -Zone conference! -President interviews -Sakura! -concert in Tokyo! READ THIS PART  I love the Savior! I love Easter. Because of Jesus Christ my furnace of affliction becomes bearable, and joyful! I can rejoice in my afflictions because they help me understand the Savior. He is supporting me through all that I experience and he is closer to me than I can understand.  This applies to you too!  And you can know for yourself! John 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. 3 Nephi 13:7 Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. I love you guys!  Elder Wardle Aquarium trip for P-day Sakura! Zone Conference

Week 30! - February 17, 2026 - Koiwa

Time is short... but missionary work is the best even when it rips me apart! Ive definitely been trying to apply the "when you feel like 10%, give 100% of your 10%" I wish I could accurately give credit to whoever said that because it is awesome. Highlights: -Awesome DCM -incredible lessons  -met with Hao before he moves! -saw some many miracles despite our weakness -Temple P-day This week has lead to to think a lot about humility and comparison. Particularly the humility to talk to everyone. The humility to submit to God's will even when I think I know "better" (I really don't)  I highly reccomend this talk:  https://speeches.byu.edu/ talks/j-b-haws/wrestling-with- comparisons/?highlight= Wrestling+with+comparisons Love you guys!  Elder Wardle
