I LOVE Being a Missionary

Hello!

This week was way awesome! We saw a ton of miracles! So probably the biggest miracle was that we visited this former investigator in our area book and invited her to church, and she actually came!! I was totally not expecting her to come cause she had never come before, and when I invited her she was kind of hesitant and said that if she could go she would. But miracles happen! She ended up having a WAY good time and said she wanted to come again! This branch is tiny, but they are very good at including people! Also we visited this less active member on Saturday and invited him to church and he came! It's cool seeing how just inviting people can bring results. The most important thing is the invitation!

Another awesome miracle is we went to a high school sports festival! It was so much fun!! So we we just hit up our Go Eigo mission school student up on Line and was like, hey how's it going? and she was like I'm getting ready for my sports festival on Saturday, wanna come?? and we were like, yeah! So we go to this festival and it was LIT🔥🔥 During the lunch break she came up to us with all her friends and introduced us and was like hey these are my super cool gaijin Eikaiwa teachers! so we met lots of sick high school students! she was also like, hey their Eikaiwa is free too so you should come! and she also introduced her teachers to us too and said that. It was super awesome! Also I talked to this guy I sat next to about missionary work for like an hour. ALSO I had a chance to talk about the church with the PRINCIPAL. She was like an old Japanese nun cause it was a Christian school so that was super cool too. 
I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!! ðŸ˜Ž

We also had an Easter party for English class and it was a way good turn out! There were tons of kids and we had them dye eggs and hunt for eggs around the room! Lastly we shared a message about the meaning of Easter and it went way well! We also performed I know that my redeemer lives and the spirit was way strong!

Last miracle! So this member calls us and tells us about this young mom she's been talking to about the gospel and so she asked if she would be interested in "helping the missionaries with their Japanese" and doing a "role play lesson" and she said yes! So we meet and the lesson ends up turning into a real lesson cause she's asking all these great questions. Then our member who jointed and is also less active ended up bearing a way powerfully testimony! Member work is the best!!

That's it for this week!

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
