Week 22 - December 25, 2025

This week has been a roller coaster of miracles! I'm not sure I can adequetly express how much I've learned this week, but long story short Jesus is awesome! 

Highlights: 
-Moved to Koiwa! 
-I have the best companion! (Elder Kim from Las Vegas)
-Had an incredible Christmas party 
-Got to sing in our Ward choir! 
-Had so many incredible lessons! 
-Had a KFC Christmas Eve 
-Found 2 new inactive members to work with! 

READ THIS PART 
Christ lives! I can't think of any two words that have a greater impact on human history. Christ lives to heal, save, and guide you. Yes you individually! 

This week has been an undeniable witness to me that this is true. I know it! And my favorite part is that you can too! 

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone has the opportunity to spend time with their family and celebrate together. Family is such a crucial part of Heavenly Father's plan to become like Him! 

This may sound crazy, but I would love to invite you to spend a moment today (or whenever you read this) to pray to Heavenly Father together with your family, in-person or through technology. Pray to know that He is there. Pray to know how to help your family. Pray for guidance and protection. I know that God will listen to, and answer that prayer. I know it! 

I love all of you so much, and hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!

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
