Transferred to Yatsushiro

Right when you feel at home and love the people the most, is when you suddenly get transferred!!! I have to admit I am pretty bummed. But excited for what the Lord has in store for me next!
So me and Elder Kimura are both transferring out! I'll be heading to Kumamoto zone, yatsushiro area. It was one of my past companions previous areas and I heard a lot about it. One of the most rural areas in the mission! So out of the city, back to Rice fields and a tiny branch! It's gonna be a hard adjustment because I really grew to love this place and the people. My next companion is a new missionary just 1 transfer old in the field. Never met him but I heard he's from the Philippines and his name is Elder Balut

This last week in Hiroshima has been one of the best. OWEN IS GETTING BAPTIZED! The 11 year old kid we've been teaching finally got permission from his dad and he's getting baptized on Sunday! I'm so happy for him! Way sad I'm gonna miss it cause I'm leaving on Wednesday, he wanted me to perform the baptism too.

So Monday we had a combined zone pday and so we walked to Hiroshima castle and these way nice gardens and it was way sick. I invited the girl that came to church with a member last Sunday and I ended up teaching her the restoration and giving her a Book of Mormon on the spot! Then at night we had a zone blitz and we had a family home evening for the members that are single and don't have families and non members who don't do family home evening! Not too many people ended up coming, but it was way fun and a non member family came! The missionaries in the zone I feel like also grew really close and had a fun time so that was a huge success!

General conference this week was awesome! I still have to watch most of it again in English, but I felt the spirit so much especially watching President Nelson's talk. I know that he truly is a prophet of God and if we heed his guidance and counsel, we can grow ever closer to our father in heaven.
Also we got a less active member that hasn't come to church in years to finally come this last Sunday!! Way awesome miracle

It's been very hard saying goodbye to everyone and I'm going to kiss this place sooo much!!

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
