So, we are still working our socks off. Things seem to be getting better, but still slow. It takes a while to work up from zero. However.....kinda cool things happened this week. The Kumamoto zone leaders gave us a call and said that the stake wants to know what we are doing in Tamana. Apparently everyone is hearing about how we are doing and the stake leaders are REALLY impressed. We aren't really seeing any success yet though. We have found a TON of investigators, but none of them are progressing. They all live 30 minutes away from us. It's really hard to get them to church or to get members to help us out with lessons. Anyway, the stake was way impressed and have been asking how we've been working.

Our work has been going pretty well though. We're just trying to get people to know who the missionaries are. One cool experience we had this week happened a couple days ago. There was a bunch of kids playing soccer in a park. They started yelling "Hello" and "I feel happy". Usually when the kids see us, they yell any English they know. Anyway....I don't really know how it happened, but they started kicking their soccer ball at us. Then we were playing soccer in our suits with a bunch of children. It was only about ten minutes. However, when we went to go housing, we ran into a lot of the kids and they started telling their parents about how we were the gaijin that were playing soccer with them. Almost all the kid's parents listened to our message, because their children had already introduced us to them.

The people here are usually pretty stiff unless they know who we are. If they just see that we are Christians, they have no interest. But when they see that we are nice people, they are way kind.

Anyway, the work is going well. I don't really have much to say. We are still just chugging along. I get to see people experience the Spirit in them every day I go out. It is such a blessing. I love being a missionary. I miss you all, but I'm running out of time out here and I've gotta make this last stretch count.

I love you all,

Elder Low
