Elder Watkins Japan Nagoya Mission: Doctor who?!

Hat in the store

We had the most spiritual doctors appointment ever this week haha! Doctor Hansen and Doctor Graham and their wives came down to speak about physical, mental, and spiritual health. They are the mission doctors in Tokyo who we call when we're not feeling well. I think we called him when I had pink eye, but I don't remember. The training was really engaging and fun, I really enjoyed it and learned how doing simple things can help us feel the spirit. Cleaning, exercise, proper sleep, saying kind things, those actually have a bigger impact than we'd thought.

I also did a kokan with Elder Tanner's new bean chan Elder Dana (Daynah) from Arizona. It was my first time kokaning with a week 2 brand new elder. I got to help him get his bike and go on his first ride around Nonami. We also taught an investigator (my only investigator right now) and a recent convert lesson. It was really fun getting to teach. Being with a bean I realized a few things, he doesn't know but a little Japanese, and he doesn't know much about dendo yet, but he has just begun the adventure of a lifetime. I remember those days for me, they were tough, but they were my favorite days. There was so much excitement being in japan and being a missionary. It's all pretty normal to me now, but I still have a while to go on my adventure. So where's the excitement?

Elder Moulten came to spend the night for Doctors Conference!

I looked back at some old pictures from my past areas up to now and realized, again, how unusual this is for anyone back home and not a missionary. Everything we do is an exciting and fun adventure. We struggle, and its not easy, but it is exciting. Being a missionary is cool!

Well next month Elder M. Russell Ballard is coming to speak to the whole mission. We are all looking forward to that. Lot's of fun things are going to happen soon, but no matter if it's an awesome day or a slow day, It is important to enjoy life especially this special mission life. So enjoy life guys! Have a great week and watch some Bible Videos today!

Love,
