Naha for three days!

So this week we were rarely even in our own area because of exchanges and what not. We went up to Naha for three days to go with the sisters over there and we had a blast! That area was just made back to a 4 sister apartment, so there were 6 of us there, and it was a lot of fun! I was able to go out with Sister Kitchen who has just been out for 3 weeks, and Sister Komatsu who has been out for 9 weeks now! It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot from those girls! We saw tons of miracles! I love going out with new missionaries!! They have so much fire and their intentions are so good! The tiredness hasn't fully kicked in just yet! But guess what? Sister Kitchen is from Farmington, UT but her grandparents have a house across from Wally's in the valley!! So we talked all about Logandale, and the res, and it was really really weird that she knew all about it! Like super weird. Plus, we got a new senior coupld from St. George and they know tons of people from the valley! I still don't understand how famous Logandale is! 

We saw a lot of miracles this week. Since we were in another area for 3 days, we didn't have a lot of time to spend finding in our own area. By Friday we had 0 contacts, but because of our AWESOME ward members we had 3 new investigators!! We got 3 referrals this week! That is insane! We are so excited to teach them and they already have those member friends!! 

So one of those referrals was a girl named Chantelle, we gave her a tour of our beautiful church building and then taught a lesson 1 in the nursery while her 4 year old and 1 year old played. She was so prepared we set a date right there!! May 30!! Can you believe it? So she is on schedule to be baptized by the 30!! That seems so fast! 

We also have Rea chan, who just turned 8 this week on schedule for May 10! Her interview is tomorrow and she is just the cutest little thing you will ever meet! She is our best friend now, and she is just so pure, how could she NOT get baptized?

We also taught a member's daughter-in-law who is not member but just had a baby, and so they blessed the baby on Sunday and we taught her a lesson. Her name is Rie san, so it is kind of hard with Rea and Rie, but she is 24 and has 3 kids, and super nice and quiet, so we are excited to continue teaching her.

Today we had a really fun zone p-day. Since our building is blessed to have a GYM the two zones on the island came and we played sports, and then had a playdough competition to see who could sculpt shisaw the best, they are an Okinawan thing where they look like lions/dogs and they keep the good spirits in and scare the evil spirits out. I actually bought some today...so you will see them sometime. It was a lot of fun! We have a great group of missionaries on the island that I love to death. 

Welp I hope you all have a fantastic week! We are going to go eat at the chaplain's house tonight for dinner, so we are excited to eat American food! yay! I love you!

Ai shite imasu yo!
