Konnichiwa from the Rock

Konnichiwa minasan! 

I'm in Shikoku now with two new companions, Loving Shimai and Bagoyo Shimai. 

We had a really good week. Zone conference was awesome (as usual) and we got to go on splits with the Tokushima sisters because of MLC. That was way cool because Adams 姉妹 is awesome and we got to see some pretty awesome miracles. We actually got low-key dendoed by a couple Jehovah's Witnesses (one was a way yasashii Russian guy) but the whole encounter was really positive because we just talked about how true love is joy and selflessness, which is brought through Christ. And miraculously we got them to both read Moroni 7 and take a chirashi. It was crazy.

We taught our investigator Mary and committed her to a baptismal date. She has so much faith but also is struggling to grasp that Catholics and Mormons don't believe the same things. It's a process. But we've been able to clear up a few things for her which is way good. Satan is working really hard on the fear angle for her. But ganbatte imasu.

Yesterday we were able to set up so many appointments with members, and we're way excited about that. One of the YSA, Hikaru is preparing to go on a mission but literally all he thinks about is politics. Literally. All of his thoughts. And he wants to help Japan really bad but he doesn't quite get that the best way to do that is through teaching people about Christ, so we're gonna work with him and try to help him align his priorities with Christ. We can tell he'd be a way tsuyoi missionary if he just puts his drive into the gospel. He's so close, but yet so far.

But yeah that's the basic joutai of this week. We're slowly but surely stoking the fire in Matsuyama. It's just a matter of time and patience.

I'm really tired tho so I'm gonna end it here. 

愛しています!

Sherwood Chourou - Week 38 in Japan

Konnichiwa! We are back to the slowish days once more. We've been dendoing and teaching plenty, but nothing outstanding has arisen ...
