Elder Wheeler

Hello!

What a week! First, Hisada and Sachiko passed their baptismal interviews! Hisada actually has to work this next weekend though, so she won't be getting baptized yet, but Sachiko will! I'm so happy for them!! 

So Wednesday morning I took a flight up to Fukuoka to pick up my New Missionary! We had a training and I met a lot of awesome missionaries in the mission. One of my past companions, Elder Johnson, is the new Assistant to the President, so it was way good to see him again! Then we met our new missionaries! My son! His name is Elder Wheeler from Bountiful Utah! 18 and fresh out of High School! I feel so old haha. He's way awesome! Way humble kid, excited for the work and ready to learn! Should be a fun transfer!

Thursday we flew back to our area and finally got back only to realize that we had left the apartment key with the zone leaders and they forgot to give it back to us. So I called them and they had left the keys in their apartment. So we had to take a bus and the monorail back up to Naha and walk to the Zone Leader's apartment to get the key, then bus back again. Great way to start out training haha!

So we went to go buy Elder Wheeler's bike Friday and they didn't have the right size for him so we had to order one. So we won't have our bikes this next week and we'll be on foot! We've been meeting so many awesome people though from walking around and housing close to the apartment! 

Not much else this week! I love this work and I LOVE these people!!

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
