Smack Upside the Head

Hey!

This week was full of miracles! I had a very humbling experience! So I was feeling pretty disappointed that all our investigators were gone, and I was pretty faithless. However, as my dad would always say, I got a spiritual "smack upside the head." Wednesday our investigator randomly called and was like hey let's meet! So we met him and he's still golden! He had just had some stuff going on with his phone, that's why we couldn't contact him. And he accidentally slept in Sunday so he didn't come to church. Anyways Saturday he passed his baptismal interview and if all goes well, we're going to see a baptism this Saturday!! I learned a huge lesson on just really trusting God and recognizing his hand in the work, even when it seems that he has abandoned us.

Last Pday was so fun! They have so many cool fishes! I'll send pics. This P-Day is zone P-Day so I guess we're all going to play sports! Should be fun! 

This week I had a pretty sick bike crash. This car almost hit me so I slammed on my brakes and I popped a front wheelie for like 2 seconds! Then I fell forward haha. Somehow landed on my feet though. 

Another investigator we got this week is a guy we found housing. He lived in Utah a few years ago and went to church every week for two years but never got baptized. He has a testimony and everything. He has been to general  conference twice. He just doesn't think he can get baptized as an oldest son. Also he ownes a shop and it's hard for him to get Sundays off. But he has so much potential! Way awesome and nice guy, we started teaching him every Wednesday. 

This week we had our final interview and conference with the mission president before he finishes his mission. It's super sad! I'm gonna miss him a lot, but I'm excited to see what things the next mission president will bring! 

Love everyone!

Breaking Records!

What a week!! Things have been crazy lately! After finally telling people that I'm going home we've been way busy with appointments! We also had a goodbye party at the church cause next week not everyone can come. Also this week at church was AMAZING! So a less active's wife and 4 kids (who are all active) finally returned home from America and it was so awesome having a full family at church!! Also a family from Aichi came and visited for obon. And then also a less active member came for the first time since moving to yatsushiro branch! All in all I think we had about 21 members at church!! That's a record by far! It was so fun! Also this week we made these sick notebooks for the members to use when they study the Scriptures! There's also a lot of questions that are in the Come Follow Me text that they can write in them. Scripture study is way important so we're hoping that they will all use the notebooks to enrich their studies! This week was also crazy

Happy Halloween

Hello! What a week! They fly by faster and faster! It's still pretty warm down here in Okinawa so we're way blessed! This week was transfer week, but luckily we didn't transfer so nothing too crazy on our end. But the Oroku Elders are both new and it's been fun working with such great Elders. Everyone is from Utah haha!  So this week we weren't able to meet with any investigators. We've actually kind of had to put them all on the shelf and start fresh again. Our main focus right now is contacting less actives and visiting members. We've seen a ton of miracles from doing so! There are a ton of lessons actives here. We met this one old lady who didn't even know she was a member! She was like, "oh yeah I was baptized but I don't really go to church or anything, like husband was a member though!" it's pretty funny to see, that's back before they had a baptismal interview and requirements haha.  We did meet with one potential

Wait the Extra Hour

Ola This week was awesome!! We were able to set a new baptismal date with another investigator! Her name is Riyo, from Osaka! We met her housing last week. We pressed the intercom on her door and at first she quickly said no to us, but then as we were leaving, she said wait! And asked if we were the American missionaries that teaches free English class. We said we were and so she was like, "I'm in the middle of work, come back tomorrow." so we go back the next day and she's not there, but we sit on her apartment stairs and drink drinks from a nearby vending machine cause it was pday, and we going to start housing the area at 6. It was 5pm and we didn't really have time to go home so we just decided to sit and wait. I stood up at 6 so start going and she walks up the stairs right at that time! She forgot and thought the appointment was at 6! She turns out to be way awesome and we are able to teach her the restoration and she agreed to meet again. We taught
