So this week we went HIKING in the mountians for Pday! It was so fun! I will show a bunch of pictures. We also saw the Hanami or cherryblossoms. they were out this past  week! Beautiful!

We had 3 investigators come to Sacrament meeting yesterday! What! Fasting brings miracles.

I just wanted to talk for a sec about fasting. When we fast, we should have a good attitude and a purpose for our fast and EXPECT blessings　to come! Heavenly Father blesses us according to our faith. Expect Miracles and they will come! 

Have faith in Fasting and fasting will become fun! (maybe not fun, but at least you can look forward to your life getting better!)

We　had a great lesson with Nozomi about the plan of salvation. She came to church again and loved it! the ward did a great job of fellowshipping her. We had a...not so great lesson with Minrin. first of all he is viatnamese and speaks not very fluent japanese so its a little bit of a struggle to teach him. But he came finding with us after pday- it was fun and he saw how much this means to us. He is also catholic so he was a little confused with some things like why we dont worship Marry and how God is our Heavenly Father, Jesus is Gods Son, and the Holy Ghost is a spirit. But he hasnt ever read the bible so we are still trying to get a knowlege of his religious background. We felt like we may have pushed him a little to fast and didnt follow the spirit very well　so we felt awful after his lesson. But we fasted and prayed for him and HE CAME TO CHURCH AND LOVED IT! Even though he cant understand everything, he can feel the spirit. One of my favorite quotes is from Jeffry R. Holland and says 

Preach the Gospel, and if necessary, use words. 

Guess what? I dont have to be fluent to preach the Gospel! 

We had a fun dinner appointment with a member of the Stake presidency and his family. Their family is part member but it was so fun and they had such a good spirit in their house. Even though not everybody was a member, they didnt shy away from doing the things that are important and commandments from god, like praying as a family. I learned a lot from them and I want to have a cute family like them someday! He is 30 and is in the stake presidency. WOW. That is a big responsibility but he is so happy about it! his attitude is a great example to me. So is his wifes, she totally supports him! something funny- the elders put them on the list for less actives becasue he is not in Chikushino very often for church because he travels from ward to ward! haha but he is actually VERY active. They thought it was hillarious. 

We have to cover a lot more area in Chikushino- everything is way more spread apart then Ube so we bike a lot. but its fine. 

I am eating pretty much the same stuff- although my goal is to try melon bread this week- apparently its way good! I also LOVE curry. and Naan! If you want a good new recipie- I suggest spinnach and chicken curry with brocoli, onions and whatever other vegitables you want with NAAN! NAAN is the best!!!!!!!!!!! Also pumpkin curry is way good. I have no idea where you buy curry in america. maybe Schnucks? thats my osusume (suggestion)

Love you all! Remember what you learned in Conference! Dont forget to hand out your invitiations!
