| Sister Sakuma and me with Coco-like holding water! |
I am now in my dream place, Hiroshima.
For the four-hour bus ride from Fukuoka to Hiroshima, I was sitting next to Sister Bradford who would be my upcoming sister training leader in the area. As we saw the city lights jump out against the dark night sky, Sister Bradford said, "This is all yours."
In a moment, across the bridge, all the lights and the tall buildings were passing around us. The city was alive. I gazed out at what what would now be my new home and found myself thinking, "Haven't I been here before?" I was overwhelmed by a fleeting sense of familiarity. I couldn't see anything through the tears except the street lamps that looked like stars. I am so grateful to be here now.
Let's light the world this Christmas season!
The kanji for light is å…‰ (hikari). The bottom half of this kanji means "human legs." (ninnyou). The light is within us. There are people everywhere that need our light.
My new companion is Sister Sakuma. She is wonderful! She is from Osaka and before the mission, she attended BYU for a year (her dad is a professor there), taught English in Japan, and was an editor in Tokyo. She reminds me a lot of one of my previous companions, Sister Sakamoto. She has a bright light!
I love you all! Thank you for your support and love. It means a lot to me.
