Well, many things have happened this week and I'm tired so it's probs not gonna be super detailed but hey I'll do my best.
Iwamoto san: We talked a lot about charity cos we asked her to read Moroni 7. It was an enlightening conversation, and in the process we discovered a really important flaw in her way of thinking. Basically, she's like King Lamoni where she's like "everything which we do is right". Everyone has charity because we hope they do. Everyone is close to God. We will all be saved without any effort just because God loves us. So we're planning on sitting down and really going through the plan of Salvation with her and helping her understand who God really is and what he expects of us.
On Wednesday we had a koukan with the Abeno sisters and it ended up being way busier than expected. Christensen Shimai and I were on foot and ended up walking really fast all over the place because we had to drop off an activity form to Uekubo Kyoudai and give brownies to Ejima Shimai before running back to visit Los Angela san with the elders cos she'd gotten hurt. We brought her curry (my idea; the elders' cooking) and it ended up being exactly what she needed, and she was so happy we had stopped by. It was a really precious few minutes with her. A true miracle. We went back on Friday and taught her daughters English as Taniguchi ι·θ spoke with her in Portuguese and invited her to church. I think she's really staring to progress, and her daughters are super cute. (Side note: 11/10 doctors would recommend witnessing a 6'5" German man singing once there was a snowman with tiny children. It can cure cancer)
Thursday we went ministering with Murae Shimai to Seto Shimai's house. It was way fun and Seto Shimai is super cute. We got to talk a lot about family history and it was really wonderful. I love family history. It's the best. And it's always fun telling people I'm related to Orson Pratt haha. She's doing really awesome though and her testimony is way strong. I've adopted her as my third grandmother.
Saturday though was quite the wild ride. After eikaiwa, we went around Kashihara visiting less actives, and we ended up visiting this one lady for like an hour and 45 minutes because she talks twice as much as me (which as you all know is A LOT) and halfway through the conversation this Buddhist priest guy came to her house and proceeded to do this crazy exorcism on the house as Hayashi Shimai and I sat there both confused and concerned. It was wild. And then immediately after we managed to leave we had to race back home because (drum roll please) there was a baptism happening! πππ It was so wonderful. Like honestly Yatagawa Shimai's testimony was amazing. Like the story would be retold in zone conference all year kind of amazing. Both she and the elders were over the moon, literally leaping for joy. It was really pure.
But yeah I'm kinda out of time, and that's the general Kanji of the week!
