Hello Family,

 

Wow....... I don't even recognize you people any more, haha!  iPhones, MacBook Air, what is going on!  I guess I was an anchor to this family and now you're floating away to Mac-land! (Elder Crandall is a die-hard PC guy!)

 

Suggestion for the "creature" under the house, Dave McMullan, my water polo coach and swim coach, is an exterminator.  He might be a good reference for what to do or who to call about the cat stuck under the house.  He lives right across the street from Ben's house, the very first house in that neighborhood.  You could stop on by or google his company or something. 

 

Man, what a way crazy week in America! I've been hearing a lot about the election from members and random people on the street.  Economically, Japan wants Obama to win because Japan and China are profiting off of America's bad economy.  They want America to decrease because America's economy is correlated to theirs.  I hope Romney wins, I really do.  It already is making an impression on Missionary work world wide.  People have been just a little bit more open to hearing about our church because of Romney.  Their curiosity is increasing little by little. 

 

This past week, we had a few lessons taught to investigators and they went really well.  I went on splits with my district leader's companion and we had a great time in Kawasaki.  We taught 3 lessons that day to various people and got Dominos Pizza that night.  Pizza is incredibly expensive in Japan.  Dominos had a buy one get one free deal so that's why we went.  It is 2500 yen for one medium size pizza.  That's like 30 bucks for a medium pizza.  It's absolutely insane. 

 

We had 3 mogis to members this week (visits to members where they pretended to be investigators).  We did a lot of teaching this week which was really good.  Although they might not have been very interested or even investigators for that matter, teaching is good.  It makes us better missionaries.  Elder Anderson and I get along great, honestly.  It is way way fun living with him and working and serving with him.  Our teaching style is progressively getting more and more unified.   We have become fairly effective teachers, now we just need to find prepared people to teach.  We teach when we find and we find when we teach (PMG)  and we are able to teach a lot on the street.  But we need to find prepared people, we call them kinjin, which means golden people.  People that have interest find they have need.  It's hard work, mathematically, 1 / 5000 people we talk to on the streets or in their houses will get baptized.  But that is not how the Lord works.  We can either talk to people all day and the last person we talk to have interest (which is a test of our faith) or we can show our faith and have the Lord trust us enough to deliver the prepared people quickly.  I don't know, either way, we still talk to as many people as possible, haha. 

 

It is really starting to get cold here.  Like way, way, way cold.  No one ever warned me that Japan is bitterly cold in the winter!  I am going to go to a store called Uniclo and buy things called heat tech which are basically these thermal under wear things that are perfect for missionaries in Japan.  It will only be like 30 or 40 dollars.  Did I mention that I bought an electronic Dictionary, finally?!  It has a kanji pad so I can write down words I don't know, which is basically all kanji, and it will pull up definitions.  It was only 180 which is a way good deal cause it is usually 300-ish.  Japan is crazy expensive.  I'm sorry mom and dad, but I'm currently serving in the second most expensive mission in the world.  Please do not forget how blessed we are to only have to pay 400 a month.  The housing bill every month is at least a few thousand, then we spend another 400 on food and transportation alone.  As long as we keep paying tithing and fast offerings, the Lord will bless us for sure. 

 

Today, we had a Zone P-day!!!!  It was way fun!  We had a giant pancake breakfast at our church, which is the stake center, and then went to a park that is next to it and played football and frisbee for a few hours.  But now I'm super sore!!  My back is way tight and I can't move my neck, haha.  It's a combination of sleeping on the ground and riding hunched over on a bike that's slowly killing me.  But my legs are getting way big now, haha.  I've put on about 18 pounds since I left home and it's all gone to my legs, haha.  My area is probably the most hilly area in the whole mission, and since I've been here in the area the longest, I'm like the most conditioned missionary in the whole mission. ;)

 

Kobayashi San has a baptismal date for the 11 of November, but he probably is not going to make it.  He still is having a hard time understanding the BOM and how to apply things into his life.  But he has a desire to get baptized and to follow Christ.  Other than him, we do not have very many committal people or progressing people. 

 

I got recruited by NuSkin yesterday.  They approached me while I was handing out English class fliers and they started grilling me about my education and what I'm doing in Japan. After a while I told them I was Mormon and they started freaking out since their CEO is a well renown Mormon.  They got really excited and wanted me to check out their home office in Shin Yokohama, but I kind of blew them off.  But today, they emailed me and are trying to follow up with me.  Now, I realized that they did the exact same thing to me that I try to do to people everyday, haha.  They approached me on the street, asked about my background, taught me about their company, took my information, and are trying to set up an appointment with me, haha.  They are like missionaries for Nuskin.  Way weird, but now I know what it feels like to be an investigator. :)

 

This last Friday, we had a giant surprise birthday party for one of the sister missionaries in our area.  We had a lot of members and investigators come and we made homemade pizza and cookies.  It was way delicious, like, we were able to make American pizza's with Japanese ingredients!  Which reminds me, could you send me the recipes for biscuits and gravy and Chinese Sundaes? That would be awesome!

 

I hope you guys have a great, great, great week and have lots of fun and maybe do even a little bit of missionary work on your own.  I thought of some ideas for you guys... 

Dad- Read the Spanish BOM, physical copy, on the days you are not the person driving to work in your car pool.  People might ask you why you are reading it in Spanish, you can say cause your fluent!, and then maybe share some mission stories and explain what you did.  I know it maybe is a little bit tempting just to sleep during that time, but don't you think that the Lord wold bless you with whatever you stand in need of that day if you were sacrificing sleep for study?

 

Mom- You are kind of in a very interesting situation, my mother.  You don't really have a whole lot of close friends that are not Mormon, but maybe, you could contact some of your old high school and college friends that are not Mormon and just check up on them and see how they are doing.  Just find one person on Facebook or something like that and ask them about their life and kids and what not.  Then, they will ask you about your kids, and you can talk about me and give a simple explanation about missions.  I can guarantee that they will be amazing at exactly what missionaries do.  They will think about it, and just a simple testimony about missions can plant great seeds of potential. 

 

Kyle- Date Mormon girls, hahahaha!  It sounds like it's been way easier for you to do that than for me.  Good job, having a lot of girl friends that are Mormon.  High school can totally suck sometimes.  I bet, especially now that the church is getting a lot more publicity because of the election, the church is being brought up a lot in school.  If there is ever an opportunity where a teacher or a student stands in need of correction of a gospel principle, simply say that you're Mormon and this is what we believe... Especially teachers, they will say a lot of things that are skewed in some way to be against what we believe.  Correct them; simply and kindly.  I don't know how missionary-ish you are feeling, but if an opportunity arises where you can simply share a basic overview of what we believe with your whole class, do it!  You're in mission prep right? You can use the PMG and just give a simple lesson overview.  I've heard a lot of stories of students who have born their testimonies to their classes and people have been baptized because of it.  Just a thought...

 

Connor- I can guarantee you, Connor, that there will come a time in your near future where the people that you interact with at school will bring up religion in general and you will be asked what you believe.  My challenge to you is to take courage and to declare that you are Mormon.  But more importantly, I challenge you to be a good example and live our religion in such a way that the people will not be surprised that you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  They will not be surprised, it will seem like a normal thing to them.  That is my challenge, to be firm in the faith and to stand as a witness at all times, in all things, in all places.  Kinda cliche, but a good principle, desho. 

 

Tuxedo's challenge - to not be stupid and to be around still by the time that I get back.

 

Kelsie's challenge - to get married and to write me!!!!!

 

I love you all dearly and I can assure you that I pray for you as much as you do for me :)

Hey Family,

 

Sorry I am emailing a little bit earlier than normal, but today we are going to SKY TREE!!!!!!! If you don't know what it is, google it cause it's gonna be awesome. We are leaving in like a hour or two.  I bet that you guys are writing me and emailing while I'm writing this one. 

 

This week was pretty good, but yesterday was not so great for us. We worked hard all week and got 3 lessons set up for yesterday. One of them was for sure going to come to church, but he didn't and now we can't get ahold of him. The other guy forgot that we had planned a lesson after church so he bailed.  And Kobayashi, never called us back to set up a specific time so he ended up falling through. So 3 lessons fell through. It was a real bummer for sure. So we just dendo-ed for like 3 hours instead, but we didn't find anyone. Not from a lack of conversations though, people were very willing to listen last night. We had like 20 good conversations, but no one had interest in religion. Sometimes it's hard being white in Japan. Sometimes people don't take us seriously. They are like,"ahhhh how cute, they are trying to speak Japanese". Or they are super suprised that we know Japanese, but they can't get over the fact that we are from America so they don't whole-heartedly listen to our message. 

 

But other than those few small things, Life is Good!!! Japan is way awesome! It's starting to get cold here, like 21-25 degress all the time (celcius). And man, it gets cold in Japan! It's very very humid here and so it's like a bone chilling cold kinda feel, ya know. Anyway, this week, we had a giant Fall Festival that the ward put on. We had tons of non members show up to it and we played lots of games, had a way good talent show, and then took everyone on a church tour. It was way good for all of the inestigators to get a very calm and easy feeling about church. Most of them already come to English class and kids English class every week, but they usually are not able to see anything other than the gym. 

 

Okay, so I just read your letter and I was dying laughing! "The District", hahahaha. We are required to watch and study The District in the MTC and out here in the field.  I've seen all of the episodes like 10 times so far, hahaha.  That's so cool that you guys get to watch and study The District just like me! My favorite investigator is Manny. He's way cool and I've met people that have changed their lives very similar to the way he changed his. Have you watched the Law of Chastity one yet?? It's a huge joke among all missionaries world wide, haha. I've met most of the people from The District. They are teachers at the MTC. Actually, funny story, Clark Sensei is pretty good friends with Sister Boils? I think is how you spell it, anyway, he called her in the middle of class one time and put her on speaker phone and we all said hi to her, haha. Have you guys seen The District 1 as well? That's the one that follows the people in Texas. 

 

My email might be pretty short too, kinda low on time and not whole lot happened this week.

 

We usually make our own meals everyday, or we go out a few times a week.  The members just drop off a lot of little things every week in a Fruit Basket of sorts. I love Okonomiaki and Curry Rice and Indian Curry and Sushi and Maborofu and Hayashi and Taco rice and Yakiniku and Yakisoba and tons and tons of food that you have no idea what it is, :) haha! There are no Teriyaki shops in Japan, haha. Only in America do they use the word Teriyaki. Usually restaurants or the food is called Yaki (grilled) then the name of the food like Tori (Bird/chicken), Yakitori or Yakiniku (grilled meat). I'm actually getting pretty good at cooking Japanese food so get ready for a house full odd Asian-ness when I get back! When we eat at members houses, they usually make American-ish food for us. They think it's American, but it's not really, it's just not Japanese food, haha. But for sure we eat rice in just about everything. Always, always rice and it is super expensive to buy rice in Japan! It's insane, like maybe more expensive than America. We have been trying to go to Costco for a few weeks now, but we need a car and a member in order to go. We strated a tradition in our house, 500 yen Fridays! At our local grocery store, they have 500 yen pizza's, Japanese pizzas, so they are really weird and kinda gross, but they are way cheap and we buy them at like 8 at night so they are 30% off. In reality they are like 320 yen so it's a pretty good deal. But everything is smaller in Japan, like a large or extra large pizza in Japan is a medium in America, and Dominos costs like 25-30 dollars here. Way crazy!

 

These past few weeks, we have been trying really hard to find very prepared people to teach.  It's easy for us to get phone numbers and maybe sketchy investigators and appointments, but to find really prepared people who will apply the gospel is very hard.  One of the attributes we look for (and Bishop Doutre mentioned this in his letter to me), is humility. Are they too prideful to listen to a message about church? Are they too guiltful of their sinful consience to want to change their lives or admit that what they do is universally wrong? Will they put us and the gospel on their priority list or are they too busy, too engulfed in the world to make time for us? It's hard filtering for the right people. Sometimes I feel like an old prospecter panning for gold in a dirty river. But luckily, I've got all the right tools, a treasure map, and I personally know the person who hid the gold! All is not well, but all is do-able, fixable. 

"Shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethern; and on, on to the victory! Let your hearts rejoice and be exceedingly glad."

D&C 128:22  - that is our mission theme!

 

Have a great week! I will for sure! I love you guys and will think about if I need anything and I will get back to you!

 

Love,

Elder Crandall

Buenos Dias mis amigos!

 

I've used a lot of Spanish over the past few days, haha.  We have a less active member who is Mexican, a family from Bolivia had us over for dinner a few days ago, and the other elders that we live with have an investigator from Peru.  But I've basically forgotten all of my Spanish, haha.  If I try to speak a different language, I pronounce everything Japanese-ish and I think in the Japanese grammar order, so my Spanish sound like a drunk old mans Spanish, haha. 

 

General Conference as a missionary is awesome!!!! Man, it was like watching the super bowl, haha!  But honestly, it was awesome getting to see the announcement from President Monson and everyone in the room was cheering, haha. My top three favorite talks were Elder Christofferson (I've really taken a liking to him recently, I've read a lot of his stuff over the past few months), then Elder Oaks, and then Elder Holland (he went hard in the paint for sure! it was awesome and we are going to suggest it to some of our less active RM's). It was way fun watching GC with everyone in our zone. We were all huddled in a class room on the second floor of our stake center while the rest of the stake watched it in Japanese downstairs. The translators do not carry over the tone of voice or excitement or any rhetorical devices that make talks powerful and interesting. Thus, in Japanese, it's really boring and they don't really take a whole lot out of it. But man, this was such a great conference and I took a lot out of it. A few weeks ago, our Sister missionaries gave us cards to write a question that we wanted to get answered at conference on.  I was wondering how I could better help the people that I talk to on the streets feel the spirit.  I had forotten that I wrote this question down and stuck it in my white handbook until like the second to last session.  But from the whole GC, I concluded that the key to helping people that you don't know feel the spirit is Love. As cliche as that sounds, honestly, love is the most effective spiritual tool that we have. If we impress upon random people that we love them, they will be drawn to our message becuase they will feel the Love of Christ flowing through us; that love is subsequently carried by the Holy Ghost to their hearts. We pray to find prepared people, we pray that when we meet them, we will know what to say and do, and we DO meet these people. But God will only prepare as many people as we can handle and that number is correlated to our faith.  In missionary work, and in life, we measure our faith by our actions. And if our actions are full of love, then everything that we do is going to be awesome :)

 

This past week, we found two new investigators! One of them was from Ekaiwa (English class) and the other was from streeting in the far corner of our area. We have lessons with them this next Sunday and I will tell you more about them if things go good, haha. One of them is 50ish and the other guy is about 20. I'm way excited about it though :)

 

Elder Anderson and I get along great! We have very similar personalities, we are both very deep people and we have great studies together. He is completely fluent in Japanese, like way way fluent.  It's nice having someone so good at it because we can be more personal with our ward members and investigators, and I think people just like us better when we are more fluent, haha. He is a way hard worker and we see a lot of miralces and things have been working out in our favor more often than not :) We were able to meet with two of our less active members, both very tama tama (by chance) but we shared very good messages with them and were able to more fully descern their needs and figure out why they are not coming to church.  Honestly, both of them have weak testimonies of Christ, He is not their focus and they are getting distracted with other things. Like the prophets always say, if everyone was to build a solid foundation on Christ and always put Him at the center of their lives, there would be no wavering and falling. 

 

This next week, we have a giant fall festival and it's kinda Halloween themed.  Kids get kinda into Halloween in Japan, but I dont think that they go trick or treating or anything.  But we are not allowed to wear costumes of course, kinda, I think, haha.

 

Tell Connor that in seventh grade I took english, science, pre algebra, gym, band, social studies, I think..... I don't remember too well but I remember feeling really scared but really cool for not being in elementary school :) Tell him that he should do leadership and video classes if he gets the opportunity. 

 

I laughed really hard at the "I own a car in Utah" phrase that Dad said to Kelsie, hahahaha. That's what's up. Kelsie getting told off by the parents, haha!

 

I hope you guys have a good week and I am attaching Grandpa Crandall's blessing for Dad.

I Love you guys and tell Kelsie and Tuxedo that I say hi!

 

クランダル長老 (Elder Crandall)

October 9th, 2012

Dear Family,

Hello Hello! Wow, what an exciting week for sure.  A lot of ups and downs on both of our ends. 

Happy Birthday, DAD!!! Wasn't this your 50th or something like that?? Man, over the hill, one foot in the grave or should I say vase (they cremate everyone in Japan).  It's good to hear that he is still young enough to believe that he can still golf ;)

Well, I'm still in Kohoku, but I got a new Companion!!! Elder Gallacher was awesome, but I'm way excited about my followup trainer.  Elder Gallacher was my Dad, and now my new companion is referred to as my Mom, haha.  His name is Elder Anderson and he is half Japanese.  His dad serves in the air force so he has lived all over the place, including Olympia, but most recently he lived in Virginia; actually most recently, he lived in Japan....

He is on transfer 11 and he is a boss.  Man, I'm on transfer 3 now.  I'm almost 1/4 of the way done with my stay in Japan!!!! AHhhhh time is flying by.  Elder Anderson has had mostly Japanese companions his whole mission and he is way way good at Japanese.  He is shorter, wears glasses, looks very Japanese, and is a way cool guy.  He went to BYU for a year as well and he stayed one building over from my building.  He is a great guy, we get along great, and he is way exited to be here in Kohoku. 

One of the Zone leaders that I live with, Elder Cook, finished his mission yesterday.  He was such a cool guy.  His parents came to Japan to pick him up and they are touring the area for two weeks.  He was sad to see it end, but he said it didn't feel like anything was changing.  It hadn't hit him yet that it was over.  I talked to him for a while because we went on splits on Saturday and he told me how weird it is trying to imagine something other than missionary work.  This is his life.  He has become Japanese and missionary work is his Job, his purpose in life, or so it seems.  I am starting to relate to that, haha.  I don't know what else I would do if I wasn't a missionary.  THIS IS MY LIFE!!! This is my job, my hobby, everything that I do in life.  It's way, way crazy cool. 

Here is the thing, I've never really been a fan of the Japanese language.  It's always been way difficult when things are suppose to be easy in English, there are like 100,000 different kanji in the world, and the people talk at like a billion meters an hour.  The grammar is completely backwards from English and all of the vocab sounds the same, but has different kanji meaning to it.  Taihen for sure.  But, ever since I came to Japan, I've been able to immerse myself in the culture and now I think like Japanese people do.  They think differently than the rest of the world, and now that I'm thinking like them, I understand the Japanese and how to speak and read like them.  Elder Cook said that now that his Japanese is like as good as you can get, there is nothing more fun for him than speaking in Japanese, haha.  I'm starting to feel that way a little, but I'm way way far away from fluent.  I'm about as good as the average 5 or 6 transfer missionary at Japanese, a little above the curve at understanding. 

So a few crazy things happened to us this week.  We had two investigators come to church! It was kinda random and we didn't think that they were 100% set on coming, but they did and it was a great week for Elder Gallacher to end on and a great week for the ward to see us working hard and bringing people to church.  We were also able to help Kobayashi get a little bit closer to Baptism, but he is still far away from that point.  He doesn't understand repentance and that is kinda totally key for baptism, haha.  Repentance in Japanese is kuiaratame (koo-e-ar-ah-ta-mae).  Say that 5 times fast!

The guy who bought us the really expensive sushi a few transfers ago moved to the top of Japan a few weeks ago.  We said goodbye to him and wished him luck, it was kinda sad.  Well, this last week, we were dendoing in the middle of a giant city far away from our apartment and we ran into him!! It was crazy, totally by chance, perfect coincidence. Then, later that week, we were in an area at the top of our map, in a random tiny little town, and we ran into him again! He was visiting a friend and we happened to walk into him.  I don't know why we were suppose to run into him so many times, but I'm glad we did cause he is totally awesome and he gave us some great advice and counsel for the ward. 

I haven't been able to watch General Conference yet.  We have to wait a week for it to get translated into Japanese, then we will all watch it together in English and Japanese at the stake center this week end.  I'm way excited though and I love the new missionary age rule!!!!!! It's great that young men don't have to wait around and do nothing for a year if they really want to serve.  And it's great that sisters can serve much younger now too! We need more sister missionaries, honestly, they are much better at missionary work than us guys, haha, especially in Japan! It's a great decision and it will be a great help to all missions world wide!

Well, we are going to go hit the streets hard this week and really try to help the ward become more self dendo sufficient.  If they didn't have missionaries serving in the ward, this ward would probably not have any convert baptisms.  Our ward has had 5 baptisms in the past year and a half and only one of those people still comes to our ward.  That's not real growth, this ward needs a family that lives in the area and that is friends with the ward members to join the church.  That is real growth, families stay in the ward, families grow where they are planted. So wish us luck in helping the ward members convert their friends.  We are having a giant stake party this month and it's going to be a great dendo opportunity!

Have a great week! I love you!

October 2nd, 2012

Hello Everyone!

Well we had another great week in Kohoku.  This upcoming Friday we hear about our transfer calls and odds are that my companion will get transferred and for sure the other Elder we live with will be transferred, well Elder Cook for sure because he is going home, but you never know with transfers, haha. 

This week was a great finding week for us. We found a few new potential investigators and we are trying to set up lessons and what not with them so we can help them learn the gospel! A few university students, a middle aged guy, and then a family! We handed out a total of 4 Book of Mormons this week, we tried to do one a day but some days we had none, and one day we had two.  Japanese people don’t like to take things.  They feel obligated to give back in return.  So it’s definitely a miracle every time we get one out, haha.  But how we found the family was an absolute miracle and a way cool story.  Before I share it though, it’s totally becoming Fall in Japan.  The leaves are starting to change and you can feel it in the air.  It’s becoming Halloween season!  Also, I don’t know if you guys heard or not, but this last Sunday, we had a massive typhoon hit us, haha.  A massive hurricane came from the south and swept up the entire island.  It had winds of about 50m/s which is like 100-110 miles per hour.  Crazy wind storm , but Japan is built to withstand typhoons and it didn’t do any damage. 

So, on Saturday morning, we had a lesson with our progressing investigator, Kobayashi San, and that went really well.  I guess I should mention that the day before I had been praying really hard that we would find a family to teach.  Right before the lesson started, we got a call from some random guy and he said that he wanted to meet up with us and meet his family and take us out to lunch.  His name is Tad Bekku, a Japanese guy who speaks perfect English, completely random, never met him before or anything.  So we agree and set up a time for that afternoon.  We met him at the train station and he asked if we were hungry.  No introductions or anything, just kinda hey, I’m Tad, let’s go eat!  He is about 65 and looks like the most stereotypical Japanese guy.  He took us out to a really fancy American steak restaurant and dropped like 80 bucks on lunch.  We were so confused and amazed at what was going on, it was so random, but such a blessing.  At the restaurant, he told us an amazing story about his family.  Thirty years ago, the wife and their three kids ages,10, 5, 3, moved to Manti, Utah.  At the time, they didn’t know any English, they had no friends in America, and the wife started to attend Snow College in order to learn English and get a teaching degree. It was very hard for them at first, but as soon as they moved into the neighborhood, their Mormon neighbors befriended them and took very good care of them. They would take them to school, to church, various activities, bring food over, and helped them learn English. They were only in Manti for a year and then they moved back to Hiroshima, but they were eternally grateful for the charity that they received from these Latter-day Saints. When they got back to Japan, they hunted down the missionaries in Hiroshima and gave them tons of food and treated them very well. And they have been doing that to missionaries for over 30 years. They have a stack of over 40 missionary cards. They are not members yet, but all of their friends are Mormon. They house many LDS people that come to visit Japan and love everything about us. They had not visited missionaries for over 3 years, but Saturday morning, they woke up and felt like they wanted to give us a call and introduce themselves.  We met up with his wife and they took us to a giant elementary school field day and we watched Japanese children chicken fights.  After that, they took us to their house and fed us like 40 bucks worth of ice cream, haha.  They have a ton of Mormon friends, but they all live in the states and so our plan is to introduce them to the members here.  We are making cookies for them and we are going to try to teach them this week.  They don’t have a lot of gospel interest, but they love Mormons! And heck, that’s good enough for us, haha.  I know that the Lord answered my prayer to find a family to teach, and I’m so grateful that we were able to find them in such a miraculous way! They found us!  

Kobayashi is one step closer to baptism but we need to make sure that he is truly converted to the gospel and that he is having a true change of heart. 

This next week is going to be a good one, and BTW, the mission went to the temple together today and so that is why the emails are a day late, haha.  I finished the BOM all the way through.  I started when I challenged Kyle, where is he at in the BOM?

Have a great next week and I know that the Lord blesses you each day, more than you know :)  I’ve seen it in my mission life and I know it’s the same in real life.

Love you so much Family!
