We are safe!

Hi!

We are safe! Dont worry the storm was way not even bad. We just had to stay inside all day so we did some weekly planning that was way overdue and made some cookies for all of our people and Translated some music. Me and Elder Malcolm are singing the Prayer on Sundayand we needed to translate it into Japanese so we worked on that. Over the phone, dont worry the elders were not in our appartment. It was fun. I was really suprised we were allowed to sing that in Sacrament meeting, but when we were practicing for fun the other day, the Stake President came in and was like when are you singing this? Its great! So now we are doing it for real! 

Yamaguchi San came to Conference! He said he was so impressed and that the things that were said really helped him to understand what he was reading in the Book of Mormon. He loved the music too. Also he read the first half of the Gospel principles book...all the way up to fasting. And then he was like  yeah Im great at that- I was homeless for a year! OH my gosh he is my favorite person ever! We taught him about the plan of salvation and he was like how could you not believe this? and he just has the cutest smile ever and just smiles all the time and wears this cute hat to church and I seriously just get so happy whenever I see him! The light of Christ is literally shining out of his entire being! Also the other day when we were teaching him, he said, you know what the hardest part about being homeless was? Typhoon season. 

How sad! we say Kawaiso! it means like pathetic in a cute sort of way. Like oh, you poor dear kind of thing. 

Conference was GREAT! I had so much personal revelation...but here is the thing- a lot of it came after conference when I was studying my scriptures and Patriarchal Blessing. It was a really neat experience and I feel really great about my future, despite being a transfer student and stuff, I know why I need to transfer now and I am so exicted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just want to encourage everybody to write what you got out of conference down in your journal so you can remember for later when you have a hard time and need to remember who you are and who is on your side. I know the Lord answers all of our prayers- even the very smallest and even the very biggest- Have the faith and you will see signs. Doctrine and Covenants 68;10. 

We went to a members house for dinner....I was in the midst of eating some fried rice when I noticed not all of the grains were the same size....and some of them had EYES!!!......THEY WERE BABY FISH! SICK!!!!!!!!!!.....You think youve gotten through a meal safe when a surprise goody sneaks up on you from behind and punches you in the throat! 

While in-between appointments, we had a few minutes to do some tracting. We decided to only contact people with red shoes (its a big city and lots of people(  and sister Lewis was like is this too specific and I was like Lets have faith!....The first red shoed person became a new investigator! We have a lesson on Sunday- please pray it goes well! Her name is Miho. Thanks!

Hope you have a great week!
