Australians, Donuts, and More! (Week 35)

By
皆さんこんにちは! Hope everyone had a great week! I can't believe it's already Monday again! It seems like I just wrote home and now here we are again. Elder Ramos and I have been way busy this week with following up with all our new investigator friends and trying to find more new ones. A lot happened but I don't have a whole lot of time to write this week so I'll share one of the many miracles we were able to see. Last Wednesday, we had a appointment scheduled to go to dinner andteach a lesson with one of our friends who was found several weeks ago. We showed up to the place where we were supposed to meet and ended getting stood up. So our friend didn't show up, but we decided to do a little bit of Streeting around the area to make the most of time. As we were Streeting, we found some friendly college students who obviously weren't Japanese. Turns out, they were from Australia but they are studying at a near by college for several months. We introduced ourselves as missionaries (in English of course) and shared a little bit of our message. They politely declined and said they were not interested in religion and too busy even if they did have interest. We then decided to share a little personal testimony. At that moment, the entire environment changed. The spirit was able to testify of the things we were saying and open the hearts of those three college students. They then invited us to go get donuts with them right then so we could share our message with them. We will meet with them again this Wednesday. We see miracles every day and I am so thankful for the opportunity I have to be a missionary.

It's been a great week. So thankful for the chance to Skype the family back home this morning. Glad to see everyone is doing well and so good to hear all of your voices. I love you all so much! Until next week!
愛しています!

Thinking Out Loud 🎸 ⛩ (Week 54)

By
Hello! How was everyone's week? This past week was a blast here in Yokosuka. With everything from bowling to basically swimming through the rain. The missionary life is great and I wouldn't have it any other way! For all those who aren't missionaries out there, I would recommend! It's been the best year of my life so far and things are looking greater and greater all the time. This past week, we did a lot, but I'll share a couple of our adventures. Last Monday, we decided to go bowling on base again. I didn't play nearly as well as the previous week, but it was fun haha. In the evening, we had a lesson planned with our investigator Manuel. Long story short, the lesson fell through, so we hit the streets. Talked to some way cool people and made some good contacts. Tuesday was lots of Streeting and Japanese Class. Fun stuff. On Wednesday , we did a lot of Streeting during the day and had dinner with the Cribb family. They took us out to Chili's in base and ...
