Hello everybody!!
How you all doing? I've heard
that the week was pretty slow for some of you back home and to be honest it was
for me as well! We are heading into the
rainy season here in Japan! And with
that, it is even worse because I am in the farthest east area in Japan right
next to the ocean. It rained so hard
these past couple days! The week started
of really well, we had some quick lessons with investigators (it's been one of
our finding techniques, talk to people and say that we are missionaries and we
are sharing a quick message of God or happiness or the Book of Mormon QUICK)
and finally were able to schedule a lesson with a Q that has been playing hide
and go seek with us. Aaannnddd the game
is not finished because he pulled a no show on us. Then it started to rain for almost 3 days
straight.
First of all we have rules that if it is raining at all
we can't ride our bikes. Elder Daniels
and I totaled on Wednesday alone, 10 miles of walking in the pouring rain! Got a good video and some pics it was
unbelievable!
Really cool experience this week, we found a new q and
had another lesson with her a couple days later. We gave her a plan of salvation pamphlet and
normally whenever we follow up the people haven't either read it or just won't
talk to us. But this time the woman had
read it 3 times over and was waiting for us to come over. She was so nice! Elder Daniels and I were surprised at how
prepared she was and just flat out nice!
We ran over the entire lesson with her and she wanted to learn more but
she is quite busy for some time. So the
best we could do is give her yet another pamphlet except this time about the
restoration. We will see her down the
road I am sure.
Two things from Friday that happened that I want to share
... An investigator of ours basically told us that because we were ALOT younger
than she is, that we shouldn't be teaching her!
Then we got advice from a member, we need to teach the gospel as if we
are teaching children because the gospel is that simple!
We had two Q'S at sacrament yesterday!! And we are helping our q with a date for
baptism and also a little girl in the branch!! Her baptism is at the end of
next month also at the end of the transfer!
At DTM we got trained on how we could use the Book of
Mormon better in dendou! What I took
away from it was that we had this training because the Book of Mormon CAN apply
to anyone! Again I bear my testimony of
the Book of Mormon! Everyone watch Elder
Hollands Oct 2009 conference address!
Another blessing is having people like that bear witness of the
truthfulness of the Book of Mormon!
