Writing in Japanese

Sister Sherwood sent a letter to my mom (her grandma) in Japanese! My mom's friend Yasuko translated it for her. 

Sister Sherwood bore her testimony and said she knows she is doing the work of Heavenly Father. She feels the spirit confirming her actions and guiding her and she knows in her heart the church is true, Joseph Smith is a prophet, and she is exactly where she is supposed to be. She loves every day being in the service of the Lord and being guided constantly with the spirit. She is doing fantastic & is so happy. 

She also said she has good friends there and is studying to teach the Book of Mormon. The language is hard, but that's life. She knows in her heart that God sent her exactly where she is supposed to be. She feels His presence, that he is guiding her, and that there are people just waiting for her to share what she is studying (the Book of Mormon and the Gospel). She know's that God loves everyone.

Yasuko (who is not a member of the LDS church) said she couldn't believe how well Sister Sherwood writes - that she is writing Japanese on a high school level.

After only two months in the MTC to learn Japanese and how to be an effective missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, I am so impressed that she can write so well - and even using Japanese characters! I'm so excited to
hear about her experiences in Japan.

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