Konnichiwa!!
How was your week? Because ours was full of MIRACLES! It all started on
Thursday when I was able to meet with Michiko san, an old investigator I
had in Fukuoka! Since the areas are neighboring, she came in and met with
us! We went out and ate lunch, I just love her! Her English has gotten WAY
good, and my Japanese has improved, so communicating with her was a little
easier this time around! But she still calls me her American daughter, and
she is my Japanese mother, so she takes good care of me! Their was a big
thing with her and a Fukuoka ward member, so the bishop told the sisters in
Fukuoka to stop meeting her. She still reads the Book of Mormon, and after
we ate lunch, she asked if she could go see our church, so we walked to the
church, and gave her a tour. When we passed a room with a picture of Jesus,
she asked if she could go inside. She stood in front of it for a couple of
seconds, the Spirit was way strong, it was way cool. She says next time we
meet she wants to bring her Book of Mormon and read out of it together! I
am so excited. I feel so blessed to be in this area that is close to my
first area!!
We had exchanges with the STL's this week too! Just so happens, my STL is
Hawkins Shimai, who I lived with for 6 months in Kurume! So it was way fun,
but we had to go to Fukuoka and help some missionaries who are preparing to
go on missions. They had a big Mission Prep class where we each got a
companion who is preparing to go out on a mission, teach a lesson with them
and then go out streeting with them! My girl was just adorable and ended up
being my favorite Fukuoka ward members little sister from Kagoshima
(another area) It was fun, but made exchanges only 3 hours, where we taught
Yamamoto san the Word of Wisdom! He says if he wants to follow it, he can!
So that was a miracle!
But the true miracle comes on SUNDAY! So on Saturday night while we were
out teaching Yamamoto san, the other two sisters found TWO new
investigators! One of which wanted to come to church! So we went and walked
with him to church on Sunday, and Yamamoto san came to church as well! We
had two people! What a miracle! Yamamoto san even stayed for lunch after
church, then he left and we had some more meetings after church. We didn't
know about these meetings, so we had to change our streeting plans, decided
to go to a big street, but when we got there, there was like nobody there,
so we decided to go to an even bigger street, but we were stopped at a stop
light and there was a big road with people, we decided to go there, and
park our bikes at a store called GU, right then YAMAMOTO SAN walked out of
the store! He has been waiting for the perfect timing to tell his wife
about us, and introduce her to us, and just kept saying the timing must be
perfect. Well thanks to Heavenly Father, this was the time. We pretend to
shop (covering our badges..NO SHOPPING ON SUNDAY!) and he "stumbled" into
us and said, "oh, hello! these are my English teachers!" introduced us to
his wife and daughter, and it was such a big miracle. They were adorable,
and when they were done shopping we took a picture outside the store, and
when they were driving away the wife rolled down the windows, smiled really
big and waved goodbye with two hands. It was amazing. A perfect timing,
miracle! He even kept saying how much of a miracle it was! It was amazing!
I still love Fujjisaki and Doi Shimai, it is a great transfer so far!
Sorry this is so long, but the Lord's hand is in our lives! He loves all of
us so much! I love you so much! Have a great week!
Ai shite imasu!
