This week has been another one for the
books. All week the unexpected happened. For example, a split that
was supposed to happen but didn’t, my bike breaking twice, and a lot of other
things that I recorded in my journal.
This week I’ve had fun teaching although
teaching opportunities have been scarce. However, we taught a bunch of
seven, five, and three year olds about God and taught an investigator about God
and the book of mormon. Lastly, we taught another investigator about the
Book of Mormon but this time we taught directly from the B of M stories
book (the one that is for children, thanks Mom). I gave it to him
cause the actually book is too hard for him and his children to
understand. This made all the difference to them and I was grateful I had
the book to share. Anyway, he is a funny guy and fun to teach. Always
has something to say that is random.
Another highlight this week was that I was
blessed with the chance to have an interview with the man, President
Smith. He is incredible, I look up to him so much and in so many
ways. He gave me some great counsel on how to press on and encouraged me
to always try to bring the spirit into my life which can be done by being a
Christ-like example for others so they can see and feel the Holy Ghost
presence. kaicho is honestly the best.
Saturday and Sunday were all about stake
conference. The Sendai stake has a goal to have a temple built in the
next 10 years. We are going to need a miracle but I definitely can see it
happening if the members and the missionaries work together a little more.
Had a lot of eye opening experiences this week
and I'd like to share one of those. When I was waiting for the interviews
to be over, I was talking to kuroda shimai and she told me that a lady Elder
Kudo and I met while housing a couple months ago in Miyako is now an
investigator of the sisters in Morioka. The cool thing is that she remembers
that time we meet her and received something from us. It made an
impression on her and she looked until she found the sister’s in Morioka.
I testify that God really does guide everyone to the prepared or the prepared
to the missionaries. His ways are higher than our ways, we may not
understand it all the time but he is always looking over us and has a plan for
all. I am grateful for this knowledge and I know the church is true.
Love you all!
