How’s it hanging all my party people!? Another week of miracles here in the amazing land of Japan. It’s been quite the ride and I’m loving every minute of it. This past week wasn’t real busy so we did a lot of finding. And hark the herald angels were singing above us, for behold, many miracles did we see.
This week started off not so usual as we had the opportunity to attend the Alex Boyé and Bless 4 concert in Kichijoji last week. I wasn’t really sure what to expect when the concert began with a opening hymn and prayer, but everything came together quite nicely. We started off with Bless 4 and it basically went straight into a rave party, so it was quite the transition from “Have I done any good in the world today” to “Let’s have a Party”. After Bless 4, Alex Boyé performed and it was awesome. Probably one of the hypest spiritual experiences I have had. There were some great songs performed and some powerful testimony shared. It was really a blessing to be able to attend.
After our party fiasco, it was out to work for the week. We have been going crazy visiting potential investigators, former investigators, current investigators, and everything in between. One big miracle that happens was on Friday night. We biked out to a station that is pretty far out and up the biggest mountain I ever biked in my life to visit a former investigator from several years ago. Despite the freezing temperatures, the beads of sweat were rolling and I thought I saw a glimpse of the end of my life as the fire burning in thighs nearly consumed my entire being. But we decided to do what any good missionaries would do and man up to the top of this Everest. Turns out, he wasn’t home so that was a little disappointing, but we decided to knock some doors in the area anyway. Got about five or six doors in, and a young mom comes out to the door to greet us. We introduced ourselves as missionaries and said that we were sharing a message for families about God and His plan for us. She was interested in learning more and we set a time to visit her again this coming Wednesday. No mountain will stop the work of the Lord.
Things have been great here recently and I feel blessed to be apart of it. Kohoku is doing good and Elder Low is pretty much the greatest. We'll being hitting the streets hard again this week and I am excited for the adventures that lie ahead. In case you were wandering about the title of this weekly, Peponi means “paradise” in Swahili. *Shout out to Alex Boyé* The Mission is the best and I’m feeling closer to paradise than I ever have before. Keep on keeping on. 愛しています!
