Love From Japan: Hello!!

Hello!!

I am so happy you made corokke!!!!!! its so good!!!!! I actually made it this week too! haha. Its also really good if you substitute the meat for pumpkin!

Okay so today we went to this awesome bakery and It was so good- this is what I ate! A spinnach asiago roll thing that I made into a pesto and egg and spinnach sandwaich and a chocolate eclair- I think I just gained 25 pounds because im pretty sure they just put butter as the frosting. SO good.

sorry I just had to put in a pic, it was so good! I miss wheat bread though, they dont really have it here. Well they do but is not like normal wheat bread its like white bread with wheat kernels in it... its good though!

Ps I love this scarf!

Okay so this week was awesome! but first I have a question about D&C 130 v. 12. Did that already happen yet??? (Grandpa, if you would kindly shed some light... :] )

Well our investigators are doing well- We had a great lesson with Yoshioka san! She is such a great listener. She just listened to the Restoration lesson and I was like do you think this really happened about the first vision and she was like yeah definitely- and then she was like I love praying because I get to have a conversation with God and he listens to me. We dont do that in the SGI religion. She is awesome. Ps. she has a baptism date!! Miracles! We invited her to be baptized at the end of the lesson and she accepted!! We have this fun thing where we pray with her every night over the phone. Her prayers are so powerful! 2 nights ago lasted five minutes! and it was mostly things she was thankful for! What a good example!

Tsugumi san is a nutball- we had a good lesson with her about the BOM and prayer. The next time we were supposed to meet she canceled bc she was busy so we went out to Onoda which is a 45 minute bike ride. Well she calls and is like where are you guys, im at the church! and I was like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you said you couldnt meet!!!! so I said okay give us 30 minutes and then meet us at the church (she lives like 2 seconds away from the church) so we BOOKED it back to the church in 30 mintues - I prayed so hard for green lights and we only had one red light! (there are probably at least 30 stoplights on the way). MIRACLE. We watched the 1st half of the testamaents movie with her. She really loves learning about Jesus.

Ami is doing so well- I could talk about her for ever but I dont think its okay to discuss her personal life. All I can say is I am so proud of her. We have a fun scripture study every week. Its nice to teach in english sometimes.

We ride on the train about once a week. But ive never taken the bus while ive been in Ube. THis week we took the train to do family night with a member. At the end of our lesson the mom was like so there is a half an hour between now and your train. do you want to look at pictures from my mission, or dendo? it was really funny. We looked at the pictures...sorry if I am a wamp.

We had our last lesson with Hayashi san- he just wasnt progressing and refused to pray or keep commitments (well he read the bom assignments but without the right intent so it was kind of like nulled out.) but we left on really good terms. he said I want to appeal for peace! in english bc he thought we were mad at him. haha hes funny.

We found a cute new investigator last night who said she has been searching for the true church! She said she didnt know how to pray so we taught her. It was way awesome.

We had the rich ladies lunch this week. I will include a picture of yeezma.

We had fun heart attacking several of our ward leaders houses- we got to be super sneaky it was fun! It is also so cold. It snowed on tuesday and I couldnt see anything when we were biking! But today was pretty warm.

Here are some pictures from this week!

Love you all!!!

Thanks for your letters and stuff!!!
