Hello everyone!! How are you all?? It's cold here,
as in bone chilling. It was a numbing cold wind all week long and I can't
decide which is colder; the winters in Utah or the ones here because at home I
wasn't outside in the winter for about 7-8 hours a day. Now for all you
people in California, Peru, Australia be grateful for the sunshine and constant
warm weather!! This is what they say in Sendai...
The real scripture
D&C 121:34 Behold, there
are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen?
The Sendai mission scripture
Behold, there are many called,
but few are frozen. And why are they not Frozen? Answer: Cause they
didn't get called to Sendai!
The miracles started Monday night! We were housing
in a apartment complex that is near our apartment. We are knocking away
just getting kekko after kekko (NO). Finally we knock on the door of a
man named Miura san and he lets us in. We sit down around his kotatsu and
start by introducing ourselves and he goes on to tell us that he knows us,
received a BOM in the past, and had been to church to play ping pong with past
missionaries. We teach about God and he asks if he can pray. We
could have ended the lesson right then and there! Then we schedule a
another appointment for Wednesday which went really well. Sunday rolls
around and we had invited him to church but we didn't think he was going to
come..... but he shows up for sacrament meeting! We have a little meeting
with him and now he holds a bap date for the 25th of March! We met him
again that night which went great and we have a lesson scheduled tomorrow at
the church! It's looking good! He is praying and having a good time
at church!!
We also meet a guy from Vegas whose brother is Mormon but
he isn't religious but WAY NICE.... he told me that his brother was
Mormon and I almost said "your joking right??" Lolol.
Tuesday played some baseball with some kids from the
nearby high school. That took me back! In the morning we had a lesson
with our recent convert who is legit. He takes the lessons that we are
teaching, he likes to review the missionary lessons. We are going along
and he runs with it, starts talking and teaching us. At the end of those
lessons I get so much info and new insights it's just unbelievable. He
will probably be the next branch president!! #SUZUKIKYOUDAI2019!
I know that God lives and we are all His children!
Doesn't matter where you come from or what kinda background you have, we are
all still Brothers and SIsters! Book of Mormon is true and I love my
family!!
See you all next week!
