Zone Conference

Hey fam and friends! This week was awesome! Every week is awesome but this one was way awesome! So some highlights! We had zone conference this week and I got so much Revelation! We had some members come and we talked about how we can work better with members and what the members want missionaries to do. It really opened my eyes and I feel like we've been able to work with members a lot better. We went and played basketball on Friday night and there are a lot of less active kids and former investigators there. I've been able to make really good relationships with them over the last few weeks! I talked to one of the kids and I asked him why he never got baptized and he said he was just busy, but he still wants to get baptized! He's busy on Sundays though but we'll be trying to meet with him again! Saturday we had a meal with a less active members and her daughter. It was way awesome and I'm super determined on getting them back to church! They are such amazing

Powerful Experiences

This week was another busy week! It's crazy how fast it goes. Never enough time!! Some highlights this week! We had Mission Leadership Conference on Tuesday and that was good, got a lot of Revelation and ideas on how to improve! On Wednesday we had a lesson with our Chinese investigator! She had a problem with one of the commandments but our member joint was way powerful and was able to explain the purpose of commandments super well and by the end she was able to understand and agree with it! It all comes down to the spirit though and once the spirit entered the lesson, it was hard to deny the truth. I know that these teachings are true because of the special spirit you can feel when teaching and testifying of it. This week I also had one of the most Spiritually powerful experiences of my life! So last week this 12 year old girl got baptized and yesterday she was confirmed and I was able to join in the confirmation. When the brother who confirmed her blessed her with the gift

No place I'd rather be

What an awesome week! Kinda busy with transfers going on and everything, but still got a lot done! One of the girls in a part member family that all have the missionaries have been focusing on and the sister missionaries have been teaching, got baptized!! It was such a special baptismal service. The spirit was so strong, her family that is not active also came and we were able to build a way good relationship with them! I also was reminded of Sachiko's baptism and the special spirit that was there. It's so amazing being able to be a part of such a special event in someone's life. There's no place I'd rather be and nothing else I'd rather be doing. I know that this is God's work and he is mindful of His children. Another cool thing that happened is that we had a random fireside with the Asia north area presidency and the general relief society and primary presidency. Way cool meeting general officers from church headquarters! I'm not sure why they came, b

Homerun!

Transfer calls came annnndddd.... I'm staying in Hikari with Elder Kimura!! Glad I have more time to work in Hikari! Things are starting to look up! This week we saw a ton of miracles! One of the biggest crazy miracles this week: So I just got done bearing my testimony at the end of testimony meeting and the ward mission leader taps me on the shoulder as I sit down and he says that he has a friend coming to church right now and he wanted me to teach her right then! So we went and taught her for the second hour with our ward mission leader! Apparently they randomly met on the way to China in the airport, and he talked about how he goes to church every Sunday and she said she wanted to come check it out! She missed sacrament meeting, but she agreed to meet with us again and take all the lessons! It's been awhile since I've taught someone from the beginning so it was a lot of fun. Another cool thing that happened was that we had a cooking party at the church and some less

Minister Everyday

Not a lot of time this week so I'll keep it short and sweet! Miracle! So we have been meaning to visit this less active member who has a 10 year old son who hasn't been baptized yet. But they leave SUPER far. And it's all uphill to get there. But Sunday we decided to go! It was a good exercise! Haha luckily she was home and we were able to meet her kids and sister who is also less active! They were way nice and she wants her son to get baptized so she's going to make more of an effort to make it to church! However it's been crazy especially since she has a mentally handicapped son. She said she wants help from the ward, but so far hasn't had any. That's why ministering is so important!!! It makes me sad when I talk to someone and they say they haven't done any of their ministering. It's so important! This is not a church where you go two hours a week and call it good. This is a lifestyle of everyday striving to be like Christ and helping t
