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 of the Holy Ghost, I felt something I had never felt before. I literally felt a burning in my chest, like a fire that I have felt before. The scriptures always talk about it and I would maybe say I kind of felt something like it before, but I usually never felt the spirit in such a literal way. The warmth spread to my entire body and I knew at that moment that God loved this child so much, and the spirit was manifesting to all of us that He is real, and that God does live. Now I know what it means when they say baptism by fire and the Holy Ghost. I know that this is God's church and only through proper priesthood authority can we receive this beautiful gift of the Holy Ghost.

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
