proper locations on the proper instances

OH MAN. The place to even start this week. Sooooo a lot occurred and there is not far more I can say apart from, that is God’s work. I’ve a sworn statement of that! This is just a few of the miracles of the week.

First issues first. Keep in mind the person, Mark, who walked as much as me just a few weeks in the past and instructed me he had been speaking with missionaries on-line and needed to be taught once more? Welllllll….. Mark has been assembly with the elders virtually day by day, is talking with each us and the elders in a bunch message 24/7, got here to church yesterday, and IS GETTING BAPTIZED ON SUNDAY! I KNOW RIGHT?? The opposite day I obtained a message from him thanking me for locating him that day in Nishi Kasai just a few weeks in the past. He mentioned that he was touched by learning with the Elders and felt God calling him to be baptized into the restored church. I learn it, FREAKED OUT, known as the elders, after which they instructed me to go take a look at our group message with him… I did, and noticed the next message.

Stay on the streets exhibiting the brand new Christmas video.

“I made a decision after prayer to go through repentance and be Baptize. At this time whereas learning i felt a really deep calling in coronary heart. Hope Devin (Elder Smith’s first identify lol) can schedule it. Due to God and in addition to Mod.” 

My district has started utilizing that phrase ever since…. “Due to God and in addition to Mod.” Lol too good.  However being severe, over the previous 1 1/2 years I actually have realized that it isn’t us who deserve the credit score within the slightest. I’m not the one to thank in any respect, however I’m grateful that God was in a position to information me to be within the spot that I used to be that day. Mark may be very particular to me and truthfully I think about him as one in every of my very own investigators. I’m sooooo excited for him and soooo pleased that I get to be right here for his baptism! God is sweet. 

Talking of being on the proper place on the proper time, this week I had exchanges in Nakano. It was the definition of a miracle-filled day. We have been capable of finding 3 new investigators, so many individuals needed to cease and speak, and we have been feeling the Christmas Spirit. WELL. Simply as I assumed the day could not get higher, a lady actually jumped out in entrance of me and mentioned, “ARE YOU MORMON!?” I mentioned sure and he or she started to scream, soar up and down, cry, all of the works. I WAS IN SHOCK. THAT IS SOOOO NOT JAPANESE. Lol. 

Shiho with the missionaries. 🙂

Effectively, meet Shiho. She is a university scholar who did a house stick with a household in Utah final summer time. She LOVED her host household a lot, in actual fact they have been nonetheless her telephone background! She mentioned that she had been to church earlier than, had a Ebook of Mormon, and liked the whole lot about it. Actually, she pulled up her instagram and confirmed me the images of when she went to the Salt Lake Temple, and so forth. HELLO GOLDEN PERSON. She virtually cried once we invited her to be taught and are available to church with us. Actually, she invited her associates to come back too! WHAAAATTTT.

I felt so honored to be on the practice station the place we have been at that particular time. Really a miracle. Being actual with you all, I’ve been getting nervous about coming dwelling and after I met Shiho and invited her to be taught, I spotted that I most likely would by no means be capable to educate her. It broke my coronary heart slightly bit, however then Shiho instructed me the household she stayed with lived in Cottonwood Heights, actually 20 minutes from the place I reside. She instructed me that she needed me to go meet them, and so even after I return dwelling we’re planning on doing a lesson via Skype the place I’ll translate for the host household. I AM SOOOO EXCITED. Shiho is unquestionably one other everlasting good friend, and I am so grateful for A. That household for making such an affect on her life, and B. The chance I should proceed to show her.

SO YA. SORRY THAT WAS WAY LONG BUT THERE IS JUST TOO MUCH TO SAY AND TOO MUCH TO BE GRATEFUL FOR. 

This is to the final week….. 頑張りましょう。
