An Update on the Mission from President Rasmussen, 2/9/2014

The Japan Sendai Mission is being so blessed right now with baptisms. 

We had four baptisms in December, four in January, and have already had four in February with two more scheduled. 

We had three baptisms on Saturday (two days ago)--one in Miyako and two in Misawa.
We are getting closer to our monthly goal of 8 or 9 baptisms. 

We are on track to more than double 2013 baptisms.

It is happening throughout the mission. 

Members and missionaries are linking arms to hasten the Lord's work. 

Thank you for your faith, sacrifice, obedience and the love you have for the people of Tohoku and for the Lord.

This weekend we were also blessed with much snow. 

The Sendai missionaries learned first-hand what other missionaries already knew--that through yukikaki [snow shoveling], we can serve and naturally talk with many people.

The Japan Sendai Mission is a great place to serve.

It is an honor to serve with you.

Love,
President and Sister Rasmussen
