Week 7 Kakogawa

Hello everybody!

It is so crazy that another week has just flown by. I can’t believe how fast it is all going. How is everybody? Well so here in Japan it is supposed to be the rainy season but it hasn’t rained very much.... Really weird... But unfortunately it is very, very hot and humid. It is like a sauna every day. oh well. Free sauna =) So this past week an investigator took us out to eat at a sushi restaurant.  It was a top of the line sushi restaurant! It was so good. And he has so much money, he just paid for it all. It was about $40 per person. So crazy!  I guess you get what you pay for =)
Also this week on Saturday and Sunday we had steak conference in Kobe. It takes about 1 hour by train. But It was really good. On Saturday they talked about hastening the work of salvation. They asked what has changed since the big broadcast last year. The stake president asked everybody if they thought the work has sped up or not. Me personally I truly believe it has, but I also believe it needs to speed up so much more. Every Soul needs and deserves to hear the gospel. As they talked about it, it made me reflect on the actual program itself. It was such a blessing to be able to attend that broadcast in person. The spirit was so strong there. I significantly remember thinking that it was truly the will of the Lord for the work to hasten. I do believe that it will excel to a rate we as mortal humans could never imagine. This is the power of God! 
Then on Sunday they had a broadcast for all of Japan and Elder Christopherson and the presiding bishop spoke it was super good. They spoke on how can we stay strong to what we believe when everything is fighting against it. I truly do admire the Japanese members. It is so hard to be a member in Japan. It goes against a lot of their culture and common practices. But yet within this hardship it allows the power of God and the power of faith to be shown. I love Japan!
Yep so that was the week love you all and remember you are always in my prayers =9

Love Elder Goff
