Japanese Hippies

Hello!

This week was so awesome!!

Some cool miracles:

We visited these former investigators that Elder Barlow told me to try visiting and it was so awesome! They are such a nice young family with a lot of potential! They remembered elder Barlow and a lot of what they were taught before! We were able to exchange contact information and we ended up going to a Brazilian jazz concert with the father! I've never seen so many Japanese hippies in one place.. Or a Japanese hippie in general but the concert hall was full of them! Haha way interesting experience..

I had exchanges with the zone leaders this week and I got to dendo with elder Murata! He was one of the district leaders in Hiroshima when I was zone leader so it was fun working with him again! I learned a ton from him and we had a lot of fun! We didn't have bikes so we walked everywhere and we made a goal to make 15 people smile while walking and we realized that just smiling and saying hi wasn't enough to make someone smile, so we picked some flowers by the side of the road and gave it to some cute grandmas and we were able to accomplish our goal! It was so fun haha! We also visited this cute part Member family! The mom is not a member but the father and daughter is. We were able to bear our testimonies about eternal families to the mom and challenged her to have family home evening with her family! She said she might try doing it! Way awesome experience!

On Sunday we had a ton of miracles! One of our investigators called and said she wasn't feeling well so she wasn't able to come to church and so we were bummed. However right after I got that call, I less active member we've been visiting regularly called and said she was coming to church today and she came! It's been years since she came! Also another investigator that we haven't been able to teach in awhile, came after church and partipated in our service activity with the members! She also has the cutest daughter that is so fun! So it was so much fun! Then we taught her a lesson after church and it went well!

That's about it! We're having a district pday today and celebrating Sister Welker's, sister senior missionary in our districts, birthday!

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
