So today I might have not a lot of time cause I am going
to Sendai today at 2 o'clock to attend a training meeting tomorrow. I am becoming the district leader in
Miyako. My new comp is Elder Kudo, he is
from Osaka and Elder Daniels is going to Aizuwakamatsu. This week was amazing!
On Saturday we had a baptism of an investigator and I was
awesome! I'll remember it for many
reasons, first of all it was way spiritual and even though most of the branch
was in Tokyo for a temple trip, there was still a big turn out! The service was way spiritual and way
fun! But the actual baptism was the most
stressful thing to watch. Apparently,
the investigator didn't get the whole concept of going completely under the
water cause it took about 10 times. I
was watching it and all the members are giving pointers to the youngest
missionary in the area and the investigator was just as confused as the
missionary. They tried standing, then
one kneeling and one standing, then both
kneeling. It was a sight to see indeed
(to be honest I was thinking that this baptism might not happen)πππ!
Well after 10 or so tries she finally went all the way
under and everyone started to cheer. idk
if that is appropriate or not but a win is a win I guess. After the baptism, since nobody was home
because they are partying at the festival, we all went to the party as
well. It was a blast! Imagine, seeing a baptism and then party like
the Japanese! They had a ton of shops
and culture celebrations that we are participated in!
Sunday was the same too!
Woke up early and saw a baptism in the ocean! It all happened in Nakanohama in Miyako. This time it was a members daughter that was
getting dunked. She was so happy. It's hard to describe how brightly she was
smiling before and after the service!
I love you all and I know that this church is true and
through the gates of baptism, one can return to the glory of our Heavenly
Father once more!
Love you all and have a good week!
Again sorry I am writing this on the fly!
