Week 2 - August 2, 2025 - MTC

 Well arriving at the MTC has been crazy!


Highlights:
-Our group that arrived is the largest in MTC history with 1000 missionaries!
-Found out that the largest group of missionaries means for terrible lines at meal time
-Had some incredible language and gospel classes
-Found out my companion doesn't like chocolate milk :(

As I've been starting at the MTC it has been really stressful and frustrating with a plethora of different problems, but the coolest part of it all is that this is where the Lord wants me to be! I've still been able to feel the Spirit and grow closer to Christ amidst the craziness. My district is probably the best in history (sorry everyone else) and I can already tell that we're going to do some amazing things as missionaries. 

Spiritual Thought:
The Lord loves and cares for you! He wants you to experience His goodness and be able to return to his loving embrace. This becomes real and evident to us as we read the Book of Mormon, and have the faith to act on its principles. I promise that as you read the Book of Mormon that it will connect you to Christ and Heavenly Father! And through that connection you will have access to His eternal peace, joy, guidence, and goodness. It has been witnessed to me in unforgettable ways that this is a divine book that has been gifted to us to bring us to a knowledge of our Savior!

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
