(Elder S.) Christmas cake and KFC



Hey everybody! Life is going great here in Japan. It's the Christmas
season, so Japanese people actually feel the Christmas spirit and get
some interest in Christ. The Christmas tradition in Japan is to eat
Christmas Cake and KFC. Why? I don't know but that's just what they
do. They think that's what happens in America! It's pretty funny and
that's what every Japanese person says they do when you ask them what
they do for Christmas.

So our investigator Kaito was not baptized on Saturday. He's still
100% gold, but his parents say he's not allowed to pay tithing. He
said that he wants to respect his parents and so he won't get baptized
until he is able to keep all the commandments. But, we'll be going to
talk to them with Bishop Fukawa and trying to help them realize what
tithing is and help them be okay with it. Takano still has a date for
Christmas! Right now he's looking about 50/50 on making his date. Pray
for him!

My companion Elder Hugo is doing great. He's working super hard and
trying his best with everything. I've already been back out 6 months,
so almost 10 months total. Crazy! I'm almost over the hill already..

I'm so glad to be here in Japan serving these people! There's nowhere
else I should be. It's amazing seeing the hand of God daily as you
seek His guidance. I love sharing the gospel with everyone and seeing
how it changes lives. Love you guys!

Love
スナイダー長老
