So this week was kind of anticlimactic but that's just how it is sometimes. We've been trying to set up mogi lessons at the request of our dendo shunin, and it's been a little slow going. But there have been some solid highlights, so it's all fine!
Nakamura-san: we went to follow up with him cos he came to church last week, and it went very interestingly. He thinks church was cool, but because he's old and his body hurts, he doesn't want to go very often. So we taught him about priesthood blessings and he agreed to receiving one soon. Originally the plan was Sunday but that didn't end up working with his schedule so we're planning for this Friday.
Suenaga-san: so the thing about nihonjins I've noticed is that they have this interesting cultural thing where they think you have to believe in everything to be able to respect other religions so they just believe in everything and nothing all at once. It kinda confuses me because both Jesus and Buddha can't both be God? We had this problem while attempting to teach the restoration. It's a slow-going process. We're working on it.
Also this week we had a really fun service opportunity at a day-service home where one of the members works. We did a mini eikaiwa and then sang Peace in Christ for them. They were all way ureshii and we even got to talk about our purpose to one of the workers there. It was a really good time.
Then afterwards we got to do a mogi lesson with the Fujikawas and it was really fun. The youngest is only 5 and he's super cute. We played nerf guns with him for a few minutes before dinner and I got schooled. It was great. Super cute. Just like my baby brothers. They gave us some really great advice for improving our teaching skills. They're a really great family.
This week upcoming though we have a whole lot of stuff planned so theoretically speaking there'll be a lot more to report next week! More to come I guess.
