Heating up in Okinawa

Hola

Another awesome week in the books! Some crazy stuff happened this week! First we saw a car accident right before our eyes and I got to call the police!! Nobody got seriously hurt so it wasn't that bad. It was funny though, we ran up to the guy on the scooter who got hit by a car and I was like, are you okay!? He was okay so I was like, should we call the police or something? And in my mind I was expecting him to do it, but he just ran over to the lady in the car, cause she ended up driving into a wall so she was kinda messed up. At that moment, I realized that it was MY responsibility to call the police, so I was like oh shoot! And I called them haha way fun!

This week we also had bike problems. Elder Campbell's bike was making a funny sound when you turn the handlebars so we took it in and the ball bearing detained broke inside the handlebars. So we have to wait 10 days for new parts to come in. He can still ride it around though so it's not too bad.

Miracle this week! We were housing and met this 21 year old lady and already taught her twice and she came to church this week! Every lesson though I'm scratching my head cause she doesn't really talk much or ask questions so I'm not sure why she has interest haha! She like responds positively to everything and said she wants to come to church next week! We'll see what happens!

We're teaching this man named ooshiro! Probably mentioned before but we work in his field every Saturday then teach him. He never went to school so he can't really read. So we got a Walkman and some speakers at a second hand shop and he says he's been listening everyday! He's had a hard life and lives on his own so it's been awesome seeing how the light of Christ is changing his life. There's still a long road ahead but I have so much love for him! 

We're doing good and sweating a lot! I still love Okinawa!! 

Love

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
