Keystroke

Another busy week this week. The month of August was a difficult one. I'm really excited to start up a new month.

Interesting thing happened this week. Do you remember me writing home about a C san? He had a Baptismal date a while ago, but we had to drop him because he's a Baptist and doesn't "need" to go to the Mormon church. He was dropped back in March or April. This last week, he came back. He called me and asked if we could meet. He's kinda a awkward guy, so the conversation was very quick.

"Hello?"

"This is C. Can you meet at the Church?"

".....Oh. Hi.....right now?"

"Yes"

"....Yeah, I think so"

"Ok"

Then there was a click and it was over. Haha, he showed up and we were lucky to have a member there with short such notice. He came and sat down and started talking about how great the Baptist church is and that we should go see it. I asked him why he wanted to meet and he said that he had a question about the Bible. He opened it up and it was marked up like crazy. Then he told me that recently, he can't feel God when he reads the Bible. I asked him if he had been reading the Book of Mormon. He said that he hadn't because it's not the word of God. So, we gave him the challenge to read the Book of Mormon to see if it was the Word of God. Then we testified that it was and promised him that he would feel God if he read it.

Long story short, the Book of Mormon won. He's meeting us again. That was exciting.

Also, we took F san to church yesterday. However, he couldn't come to our ward so Elder Gordon and I did six hours of church Yesterday. It was LONG. I was way tired, but It was WAY good to have F at church. He's progressing again.

We also had an activity teaching "District meeting" to all the young men in the ward. It was really great. We taught companionship unity. It was so fun. We did "Duffy san Mogi lessons" In other words, I took my little stuffed Duffy to the church and he was our investigator. It was fun and the young men got excited. I thought it was a blast.

Last night, we also had a dinner with a ward family. The Yoza family. Brother Yoza was the brother who fought in the war of Okinawa when he was 16 years old. Also, his daughter lives in Machida! He is the most interesting person. I could talk to him forever. He's REALLY intense too. He is SO Japanese.
