皆さんこんにちは！I can't believe it's already p-day again! The time has flown by this week. Elder Dowdle and I have been working hard so I guess it gets pretty easy to lose track of time. This past week, was definitely one of dendo (missionary work). We did splits with members almost every day. The members that we went out with are preparing to serve missions and will sometime this spring. That means when we were on splits, I was the senior companion. It was really tough trying to set a good example of missionary work and talking to everyone, especially when I can't understand Japanese. It was a great experience though, we talked to tons of people and saw miracles every time we opened our mouths. People would listen to us and a few became investigators. It was great! A week full of dendo!
As of today, I've been in Japan longer than I was in the MTC. Now that's crazy to think about! My MTC experience seemed like it lasted a while, but time here in Japan has flown by. It feels like I just arrived last week, but in reality it has been 2 months! Elder Dowdle and I come home exhausted everyday, but when we realize that another day is gone, it just inspires us to work harder! It's like an endless cycle, lol.
As for experiences this week, there have been some pretty great ones. We received a new investigator from some missionaries in Tokyo last week and have met with him several times already. He is a way smart guy and uses way difficult Japanese, but he asks us some really great questions, but sometimes they are hard to answer. We never teach him without the help of a Japanese church member lol. He is way great, and he has a baptismal date set for February 11. We are super excited for him! His faith is really developing and he wants to receive baptism. It is truly amazing to watch and help someone's faith develop like that. I have been beyond blessed to have this opportunity to serve a mission. I have had amazing experiences and learned so much. Through it all, I think I will end up being my biggest investigator! Isn't it funny how that works?
Anyway, another great week in Japan down! I am looking forward to this week and all that lies ahead. To everyone at home, I love you so much! Thank you for the the love and support, it means everything to me! Have a great week!
