BAPTISM - The Worth of Souls

Wow, I don't even know where to begin. One of the best weeks of my mission. THE best week! First off, our investigator, NAGAYAMA GOT BAPTIZED!!! I can't put into words the joy and love I feel for this humble man. God has prepared him and blessed me to be a part of his conversion. We honestly did nothing. It's all God and the spirit teaching, and Nagayama acting on it. I'm so grateful and I know that being a member of God's church brings eternal joy. Nagayama has changed so much and grown so much love for the Savior. He is so much happier. The Ward members are also so great. Fellowshipped him right away and got him a ministering brother on the spot.

Saturday we actually had a typhoon in the morning, so we had to cancel the baptism and move it to Sunday, at first I was really frustrated, but Sunday turned out great. Really humbling experience for me haha. 

Another awesome miracle this week! We were on companion splits with the Yonabaru Elders and we streeted this 18 year old kid. Way nice, way golden. Just really absorbed everything and agreed to meet again. Me and Elder Barlow met him again and we set a baptismal date with him! He actually lives in another area so we have to pass him to Shuri sisters, but he has so much potential!! Also randomly, an English class student randomly showed up to church! So many miracles this week!

I don't have much time because my email wasn't working at first, but it's good now! Love you all!

Happy Easter!! I have never appreciated Easter more in my life! Even though I didn't get much candy this year! However the meaning has never meant more to me than ever before! I am truly grateful for Christ and His Hand in my life. Without Him, I would be lost. I hope that as you all celebrate Easter today, you remember the true meaning of Easter and utilize the precious gift of the atonement as much as you can! It's kinda sad cause in Japan they don't really celebrate Easter so it wasn't too big, but it was a beautiful day and we were able to share the special video the church made with lots of people! This week has been full of miracles.It's crazy seeing all the many miracles that happen each day! Every day I come home amazed at all the things that happened throughout the day! It's been such a blessing! I think I have been able to listen to the spirit a lot better now. We were able to stop people in the streets that I know were prepared by the Lord and h...

Japanese Hippies

Hello! This week was so awesome!! Some cool miracles: We visited these former investigators that Elder Barlow told me to try visiting and it was so awesome! They are such a nice young family with a lot of potential! They remembered elder Barlow and a lot of what they were taught before! We were able to exchange contact information and we ended up going to a Brazilian jazz concert with the father! I've never seen so many Japanese hippies in one place.. Or a Japanese hippie in general but the concert hall was full of them! Haha way interesting experience.. I had exchanges with the zone leaders this week and I got to dendo with elder Murata! He was one of the district leaders in Hiroshima when I was zone leader so it was fun working with him again! I learned a ton from him and we had a lot of fun! We didn't have bikes so we walked everywhere and we made a goal to make 15 people smile while walking and we realized that just smiling and saying hi wasn't enough to make so...

Hey!  Transfers were this week and...  I'm getting a son!! For those of you who don't know mission lingo, I'm training a new missionary!  I'm also staying in Itoman so that's awesome. Elder Campbell is transferring to the beautiful island of Amami and going senior there! I'm so excited for him! I'm sad he's going to miss the baptism of Hisada and Sachiko though.  This week was a little bit slow, Elder Campbell got sick and so we had to stay in a couple days. But the work is still moving!  So at church last week, there was this girl that came that I never saw before, so I said hi and it turns out she wasn't a member, she was the sister of a girl who got baptized a few years ago. The mom is also a member. So we visit their house one night and had a way awesome talk with the member sister. She really wants her sister to get baptized so we made a plan to start teaching her! We'll see what happens! Pretty much the fir...
