96th week in Japan
6/12/2017
It has come to an end...

Dear Family and Friends,

I wish I knew what to say in this final email, but in all honesty I
don't have any idea. It has been an amazing two years full of great
change and greater understanding of the truthfulness of the gospel. It
has been an absolute blast and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
I have loved the mission and I have grown a great love for my Father
in Heaven. If I had to say the biggest thing that I have learned on my
mission it would be the principle of putting Heavenly Father first. Obedience to his will brings blessings. I love being a missionary. The gospel is true. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Questions:

Do you know if Elder Busby will be staying in Nara?

1. I believe that he will be, but I am not certain.

Has it hit the rainy season there in Japan yet?

2. Yes, but lately the weather has been great!

What kinds of cars have you seen there most? Trucks, SUVs, cars?

3. Cars, but a lot of them are oddly shaped in Japan.

When you go back to visit Japan sometime where would you want to visit most?

4. Kyoto is great. Nara is also a very touristy area.

We just took a trip to Salt Lake and saw several huge flags flying by the freeway.  Do they fly the Japanese flag there much? 

5. I see it sometimes, but not that much.

What is the worst health problem you have had to deal with there in Japan?

6. I have been blessed with great health. I got sick once with my
first trainer and that's about it.

Besides seeing everyone what are you looking forward to most when you get home?

7. Changing my life, living an active lifestyle, learning, studying,
going to church.

I love you all.

Elder Hirschi
