So, it happened. We finally baptized K san. It was absolutely amazing. I have never seen him smile so much in my life. He was laughing like crazy. The ward members welcomed him so quickly.

An Easter Celebration


There was only one problem.....there wasn't enough water in the font. HaHa, I literally had water up to just below the knee. We were very lucky that his whole body fit in the water. I basically laid him on the bottom of the font. All the missionaries in my zone say, "When Low baptizes....he gets LOW".....It was kinda funny......but also really close to being a problem. I'm just happy that he's part of the ward now. We lost him during church yesterday. He was having too much fun with the members. It was fantastic.

Also, Yesterday, I was assigned EVERYTHING. Right before Sacrament, they asked me to play piano for Sacrament meeting. That was fun. Luckily the songs were not too difficult. Then, the sister missionaries forgot that they had the lesson in Gospel Principles and made other plans...so I got to teach Gospel Principles....AND THEN the entire Elders Quorum presidency didn't show up....so I taught Elders Quorum as well. Haha, it was good Japanese practice though.

One more awesome miracle. Elder Wells and I were weekly planning and we realized that we don't really have many strong investigators. So, we went into the area book to look for some previous investigators that might be strong. There was nothing. Nobody that we could visit that sounded good. Then a thought came to my mind. Do you all remember Y san in Nago? She was the investigator that had cancer.....well, I thought I'd ask the Ginowan zone how she was doing. They said she was dropped because she could never meet......but they said that maybe I should give her a call. I was the last person to teach her. So I did. She answered and started crying. She was so excited to talk to me. I asked her how she was doing and she said she's been in the hospital since I left, but that everything was going to be done this next month.

She's almost completely done with Cancer.....and then get this. She said, "So, you haven't really sent me something to read since you left Nago".......I was a little surprised. Then she said, "My Book of Mormon is still sitting in my bag everyday....I've been reading lots....I have lots to tell you about." So, guess who we'll be teaching again!! I'm pretty excited for her. She's so prepared!

As far as dendo goes, we are having lots of fun. Rainy season is coming up here pretty soon.....so I'm a little nervous. But it will all be good. Also, I met a trans-sexual Satan worshiping woman with facial hair. She was American and read my name tag. Then she started yelling at me and at the end of her rant, she said "Hail Satan!" and stormed off......So that was really weird. I meet lots of weird peeps! Also, I saw the flower helmet guy again! He waved at said good luck! I was happy.

Other than that, I'm just having a lot of fun out here. I know that God is proud of his missionaries and I feel his love every day. This is the best job ever......and Fukuoka mission is the best ;)

Mom, I hope you get to see this on Tuesday.


I love you all and I can't wait to report the miracles that will come in the following week!
