Happy Mother's Day!

What a week!

So first off we had exchanges with the Kumamoto elders and it was way fun working with them! We went to institute and I was able to meet a lot of awesome members! The next day we had interviews with President!

Biggest thing that happened this week is that we went to a festival with some potential investigators and less actives! It was so much fun and there were so many cool presentations! So it's like a 3 day march where people walk around the city for 3 days haha. We also were able to run into so many people that we haven't been able to meet for awhile there! We were also able to talk to a lot of people at the event about who we are and what we do! Hopefully get some new people from it!

So this week one of our investigators grandmother died so we weren't able to meet, but we were able to see them at the event and set up another appointment! Super awesome miracle. Also they have these famous salt tomatoes here that we tried and they were SO GOOD! They were like super sweet! I recommend! I also tried a cheese dog which was way good..

This week our investigator Imamura came to church again this week! 3 weeks in a row now! We visited her with a member on Friday and she was like, please teach me more about Jesus Christ! So of course we took her up on the offer and taught her before church on Sunday. She is so prepared! It's crazy how much her heart has changed to finally accept the gospel now. She first met missionaries 10 years ago and regularly was visited by them for 10 years. and this is her first time actually coming to church and receiving lessons. It just goes to show that we should never give up!!

It was hard coming and adjusting to this place, but it's finally starting to feel more like home! It's also heating up here and I got burned again!!

Love you all!

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
