Elder Raia Needs A New Suit!

Here is the latest from Elder Raia. He sounds like he is doing good. He is keeping busy, sounds like he has his hands full being Zone Leader.

"On Monday we went to Sendai and had zone leader council. It was really good. This transfer we're focusing on our purpose as missionaries. I'm really glad were focusing on this. Its a pretty broad subject if you go through all of Preach My Gospel but on page 1 it explains it really well. 'My purpose is to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end.' The Zone leader council was really spiritual! I really enjoyed it.

Last week I bought a new suit. It was around 8000 yen or 80 bucks I think. My old ones are falling apart pretty well"

He says things are pretty stressful. Their Mission President is making some changes, and it is his companions last transfer, so he is going home soon. But he did say that every Sunday 4 or 5 of their investigators have been coming to church, so that is great! He sounds a bit homesick, so I think he could use some prayers and some letters!
