Becoming More United

Good morning!

This week was way awesome! I've been practicing the guitar and I can play like one song now! I love learning new things!
Highlights for this week!
So we had interviews with President this week and before it started I got the whole zone together and we filmed a video that kind of advertises these six activities that we are focused on doing as missionaries and members. For example English class or family history etc. The goal is to get the members more excited and also explain what we do as missionaries. So I've been working on editing that all week so that's kinda taken up a lot of time! It's my first time trying to make a real video with a real editing software so I hope it turns out OK 😅
I got to do exchanges with the Assistants this week! It was way awesome to just work with some amazing missionaries and also reminisce about Yamaguchi days cause the other assistant was one of the missionaries in my district when I was in Hofu.
We had a ton of less active members come to church which was a way cool miracle! It's so awesome having more people come to church! Also we gave a presentation to the ward and had a ministering fireside. That was way fun and we've been able to unify a lot more with the ward!
So update on Owen, the kid were teaching. So his baptism is coming up soon so we went over the bap questions with him and he's ready to get interviewed and baptized!! Just got to get permission from his dad so please pray for him!
We're going to go have a meal with some less active members today and I'm going to teach them how to make banana lumpia so that should be fun!
Also it's finally Sakura season so be ready for some cool flower pictures Next week!

That's it for now!
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
