Kinzin!!

Hey!

This week was another week full of teaching!! I don't think I've ever taught more in my mission before. Just running from appointment to appointment! It's been truly a blessing. We had a lesson with Kota! The kid from eikaiwa! He only had like 5 minutes after Eikaiwa (English Class) and so I just busted out a super fast and simple Restoration haha didn't even talk about the Book of Mormon. But after when we were leaving he started asking questions about it and I was like uh, "Do you want one?" and he's like yeah! Haha way awesome. He also said he wants to go to BYU for college! Way Kinzin!! We also taught one of the most spiritual lessons to the Lady we found housing last week. We got to baptism and we're just able to testify so strongly about it and how it's just the start of the path to following God.

This week we met President Mack! The new mission president! He is so much different from president Egan so far haha! Way more chill, and his wife has got that super excited new missionary vibe to her! I got a very powerful confirmation by the spirit when I first saw them that they were called of God to be here. They taught us a lot about self conversion and change within ourselves before trying to teach others. Way powerful and I learned a lot. I realized that being a missionary doesn't change you, but rather doing missionary things does. Not only that, just normal things we are commanded to do like daily scripture study and sincere prayer. That's why obedience is so important. 

We also had a training on missionary work and family history and how they're related. Also how we can use it as a tool in missionary work. Something I'm still not good at, but is a really useful tool. We had Brother Rockwood from the MTC Skype in, way nostalgic haha! Anyways, it's interesting how easy it is to share the gospel through family history! I challenge everyone to try it out and tell me some experiences you had! 

Things are going good and it's heating up down here!! Gotta love it!! Love you all!

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
