January 15, 2018--A quick story

This week I just want to share a quick story of the man O san...me and Elder Bunderson from Sakata were on splits, walking home from Zone Taikai. We were talking to everyone we passed on the way home, and it was pretty much just all kekkoes. But we didn't give up and kept opening our mouths, then one man was really friendly to us, and told us he knows Mormon. We got to know him a bit and found out that he knew members in Tokyo and actually met missionaries in Yamagata before! He has never been to church but said he wanted to go and see how it is. We got his contact info and went together on Sunday! On Sunday morning the bus he was planning on taking didn't come, so we had to call some members and ask for a pinch hitter favor but the Suzuki Fufu were willing and happy to pick him up and drive him to church! Member help is soooo great :) So he seems very prepared and we are glad we opened our mouths! Most of the time, it's just that simple. The Lord is preparing people and will guide us to them if we let Him. 

We had a "blitz" where 14 missionaries gathered in the newly opened Sakata area and all dendoed for a couple hours! We saw so many miracles, I think it really helped to boost the new area.

I don't have any more time becuase today was District p day, we went ice skating and it was way fun! I'm not as bad as I remember haha, it was a really good time.

Love you! Happy late birthday! Keep your eyes on the mailbox the next couple days :)

愛してます！
