As I look at the road ahead, I know I have much to learn, and I\u2019m certainly far from perfect. This blog is an attempt to document my personal journey of working towards my goal of bringing souls unto Christ in the beautiful country of Japan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to bear my testimony that I know God lives. I have seen God\u2019s hand in my life\u2014molding me through His mercy. I know the importance of taking a step back and aligning myself with God\u2019s will. In my life there have been times that I have wanted to pick and choose parts of the gospel of Christ that will benefit me the most in any given situation. Yet, through my biggest trials I have discovered that it is when I serve Him with my whole heart and soul that our Father in Heaven pours out His greatest blessings. The gospel that I have come to love is one of such incredible hope. I\u2019ve come to discover the joy that comes with repentance. I testify that God\u2019s plan is perfect at making us perfect. He loves us all so much that He sent His only begotten Son to come and die for us so that He may atone for our sins and in turn we can be with Him eternally. I testify that the powers of His priesthood are on Earth today, and this amazing gift is available to all who commit themselves to Him and will use it righteously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for taking this journey with me. I love each of you and am so grateful for your support!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elder.son.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cropped-cropped-cropped-Screenshot-2025-10-08-at-4.19.16-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everyone!
