like 11 lessons, (half our transfer
goal) in one week and saw plenty
of miracles. I also figured out that the
wind is always blowing
against us, no matter where we go.
This week was literally non stop work.
Since this is Elder Yoshinos
last transfer, we went to Waseda
university, one of the leading
Universities the world. He had to get
his re-entry interview done.
Also, we had a training meeting. So we
took the train to Urawa and met
our new Zone Leader.
Honestly not many cool things are
happening other than our
investigators. I'll start with Nao.
Recently, Nao has showed a ton of
interest. We usually meet him over ramen
and teach him gospel
principles and English. However, this
week he surprised us. He said
he's started praying at home by himself
every day. We never asked him
to do that. He's not afraid to pray in
public either, because he just
offered the prayer for the ramen.
Totally blew us away. His faith has
increased a lot and I'm so proud.
Another cool investigator story.
Recently, we've been teaching a boy
named Hiroki English. His dad met with
missionaries before and their
family comes to every eikaiwa. Recently,
they've really become
attached to us. They come to every event
we invite them to. Eikaiwa,
mochitsuki, even church. They're an
awesome family. To make it better,
the dad gave up coffee and alcohol after
learning we don't drink any
of those, without having to give him the
commitment. It seems like our
investigators are preparing themselves.
Today, we had a mochitsuki. It's pretty
much a party where we make
mochi. Tons of people came, and the
members brought friends. Everybody
enjoyed socializing, and I got to show
off my strength by pounding the
mochi with a hammer. All in all, it was
a good time, and we made a lot
of new people interested in what we
teach and do.
I was riding my bike a few days ago,
when a car just turn in
front of me. I was going pretty fast but
I slammed my brakes and force
the bike sideways. Next thing I know I'm
on my feet, perfectly stable,
with my bike a few feet behind. It felt
like I was picked up, or
helped up as I ditched the bike. Pretty
cool experience.
Anyways thanks for tuning in everybody. Sorry, no pictures this week,
too busy. I'll try to take more next
week!
