Well, it's been a pretty long week. It's been a good one, but lots of weird things going on. I really don't know what to report. We have been working really hard, but it was just one of those slow weeks where you kinda get down from being rejected so many times. It happens though. Here are some of the good things that are going on.

 

K kyoudai is doing awesome. The only problem is he lost his apartment key.....haha, and he doesn't have a spare. Poor guy. He's spending most of his time in his apartment because he's scared someone will take it while he's gone one day. Haha, he's a funny guy. BUT, he  has such a testimony. Last Sunday I taught Gospel Principles about the atonement. When we went to visit him the other day, I asked him what he remembered about the Plan of Salvation. He said that he doesn't really remember anything....but then continued to draw out the entire atonement. How it works and what we have to do. He drew the two obstacles from the fall : death and sin. Then he drew how we overcome them; through the Resurrection and Gospel of Jesus Christ we can all return to Heavenly Father.....then he said, "I'm sorry. I've forgotten most of it." I was pretty impressed though. If he taught what he showed us to an Investigator, it would have been solid. He's a solid guy, and now he laughs....Something that didn't happen 5 months ago.

 

Also, I was able to talk to Y san again. Her chemotherapy is pretty rough and we still haven't been able to have a formal lesson with her. However, she's praying on her own and reports that she feels God's love. I hope we'll be able to meet with her soon. For now, we just pray that she'll be ok.

 

Elder Dursteler and I had a junkai in Yonabaru with Elders Ho and Robinson. They are great Elders and both work really hard. It was a little rough though. With Elder Robinson, we worked all day long and hardly even saw anybody. We tried housing and it wasn't really effective, so I thought we would go streeting, but nobody is out on the street. It's a tough place, but those two are really great.

 

Rain season just started up. It makes Dendo a little more difficult. I really hate the rain when you're riding a bike. But missionaries who work hard in the rain get blessings. 

 

Geez, I don't know what else to say. Church has been pretty rough. I was surprised attacked again and asked to teach Gospel Principles again. The sister missionaries were assigned, but they "weren't prepared" so I got to do it......It wasn't so bad though. I think the ward mission leader was a little upset though. He sat in my lesson and asked why I was teaching again and that he had asked the sisters......So, I don't think I'm going to be teaching again next week. However, he did comment that he loved the lesson...Haha, probably just to be polite.

 

I love our Ward mission leader. He does way too much for us and he knows missionary work really really well.

 

Other than that, I had a pretty average week. I'm sorry I didn't have much to report this week.

 

I love you all and hope you have a great week!

 

Love,

Elder Low
