Rocks, trees, sticks...spike

Konbanwa!!!!!!!!!

This week was amazing. So we have been doing so much finding this week its crazy. but we really wanted a few new investigators so we prayed specifically for specific things in investigators. we were out housing and found people that met our exact quallifications that said we could come back!!!!!! miracle number one.

Then on wednesday night we streeted into this lady and taught her a totzuzen lesson about the restoration. She called us a few days later and said she was coming to church!!!!!!!!! so we fasted on saturday that she would come. And she didnt... except for right as relief society got over we were summoned to the hallway because she did come!!!!!!!!!!! wahoo! even though church was over, she got to meet the bishop and said that she wants to learn more. what the heck so cool. She had trouble finding the building. I know that there is a reason for her not to come to the actual meeting, and I am trusting in the Lord to help us help her come to know the truth of the gospel. 

There are so many beautifiul farms and tress and I love it! I will try to take some good pics today. we are going to visit a buddhist temple later.

We worked really hard this week and met all of our standards of execellence a day early! I also passed off some lesson masteries, so that is good too. 

We are trying to incorporate more family history stuff to try to pique peoples interest. If anybody has some good nelson or doman family stories I would love to read them!

I might have the opportunity to sing some beethoven- there is a choir who is working on some symphony who needs more people so I am going to try to turn that into a gospel opportunity. 

We have been so blessed to get so much food from people! We always say that people accept us when they give us food.

For example yestderday we met the cutest nihonjin girl who was like 21 and she was so happy to recieve the book of mormon and to know that somebody else believed in god. She was awesome.  of course, she lives in yamaguchi, not ube. Zan nen. (too bad.) She was so happy that she gave us some treas she had just bought. they were the best dounuts and danishes. seriously japanese baked goods are so good. 

I did meet an interesting man who believed in riencarnation...hmm. that was a fun convorsation. 


THis week I really have been studying the plan of salvation. 2 Nephi 2 is the best chapter ever. It really just outlines everything. the atonment, the reason for the fall, and the purpose of life. Adam fell that men might be, men are that they might have joy.

I just want everybody to know that! 

This week in our lesson with izumi san she said she wanted to be baptized!!!wahoo! except she has a difficult relationship with her husband which is making it hard for her to accept a date and come to church. but I know that if god brings you to it- he will bring you through it. (thanks mom). and everything will be okay.

love you all- have a great week hope the weather is cool!
This past week was ATSUI! (hot) and humid but its cooling down now.

Be a missionary today! The Lord needs everybody! you rock!
