It was so fun to skype you guys! Just 2 more left...can't believe it!
A few highlights from this week...
We housed into some very prepared people! K san and her older sister, E san. Right from the very start, they were just so shocked and happy for us to be there. They told us that other religion people come over sometimes, but when we came they felt something special. They took Book of Mormons like candy, they were so excited,
especially to get them for free! They have just been eating up what we have taught so far. They are both older, and they have no base knowledge of Christianity at all, so we have to spend a lot of time clarifying the doctrine, but they are just so willing to learn and so humble. Truly amazing.
We were trying to find a less-active who lived near us, but the recorded address led us to the wrong wing of the right building. After some nice detective work, we found the right room and rang the doorbell. We found out that the Less Active member moved out long ago, but Ka san, the lady who lives there now became a new
investigator! We gave her a Plan of Salvation pamphlet and didn't have much time to explain it, but we will start teaching her his week!
Su still doesn't know if he wants to be baptized or not, but he has started highlighting the word baptism every time we read it in the Book of Mormon. He has made huge progress from "wanting to forget about Christ" a few weeks ago to telling us he loves learning about Christ. He even decided of his own accord that he would start the New
Testament from the beginning to understand more of Christ's life.
We also went to Morioka for a District Conference and heard some great talks--a member of the seventy came and talked about how we can truly have joy in the gospel. I know that the only path to true, lasting joy is through the gospel of Jesus Christ. This church doesn't just have nice principles and teachings, it is literally the Lord's kingdom on the earth, with the power and authority to open the doors of the celestial kingdom and to seal families together for eternity. Christ is truly the only way. There is no other name given. I am so grateful to know by what name I and my family can be saved, and I am grateful for the privilege to share that knowledge with the world.
I love you so much! Have a great week!
