Baptism coming😲😲

FHE gang

Hey everybody! This week was pretty dope. We had a bunch of service activities and sports circles which was fun and we made a lot of friends. We've played at ping pong each week with a bunch of cracked people. And we met an American there who spoke english which was so weird but man i miss being able to actually understand people. 

We had a meeting with our mission president about sports finding. And how much to really do. And he wants us to do regular stuff but was also just kinda like go for it. So thats been cool because we just make friends a lot easier doing that here in Japan rather than normal finding. 

Circles

We went to our sewing circle this week. Which is just the grandmas talking drama to eachother. But we got to talk to them about the word of wisdom which was really cool. And some of them want to come to English class. So that was a huge success and I'm getting cracked at sewing. 

Yahagi sans on Date!

And the highlight of the week is that our friend Yahagi san who we have been meeting with since before I got here decided this week she wanted to get baptized! We had a lesson and taught her about the Atonement because she keeps hearing it in church. And then we watched a Easter video. And after when I testified of Christ it was the most I have ever felt the spirit while speaking Japanese. And I could tell that she had been touched too. And we were able to put her on date that night. And this is the first person I've been able to teach that is getting baptized so I can't wait for her.

Scripture:

I've loved being able to focus every days studies on the savior. I feel more joy everytime I get to talk to people around me about Jesus Christ. A really cool scripture i read this week about this was D&C 14:9. Everytime the Savior is the center of our life and we focus on him we will be able to find joy in our life. And sometimes its harder but its always there because i know he is always there for us.

Love you all! Catch you next week!
