well another week has gone by. it has been a good week and sounds like everything is going well for you guys. Hope general conference has been good i wont get to watch it until next week. But im looking forward to it.
Well a little about my week, the weather too is starting to change and becoming a little cooler but we had quite a few days of rain and i wore my rain suit around it was pretty fun, it was pretty humid and i guess its suppose to rain pretty hard core cause a typhoon might be coming i dont know for sure though.
Anyway so i got a taste of what summer or rain season will be like but im looking forward to winter and being cold haha. oh also this week i got bacteria in my ear somehow and my ear hurt pretty dang bad so i had the opportunity of going to a japanese ear doctor! it was pretty strange but an interesting experience. anyway im fine now i just got some ear drops its the same exact thing i got last year or something and i got the same med nothing big but the japanese doctor was pretty intense.
well our investigator returned from Israel this week so we got to meet with her. She showed us tons of picks like the streets jesus carried the cross through and the tree which is thought to be where the aganai or atonement took place as well as the place jesus was baptized. it was super cool to see all those pictures. she is way nice lady, and she went to catholic school as a girl but doesnt know if she believes in Christ. But the experience was good i got to testify about Christ after she showed us the picks it was a super cool lesson. She brought us some beads with a cross to pray with haha which was interestring but she had good intentions its pretty cool though. she also brought us a bookmark and some candy . its hard people are way nice here but our investigators are way nice but just interested in religion they like learning and reading but dont really believe in anything. So its hard to help them gain a testimony. But its possible.
It kind of connects with what ive been reading in the Book of mormon lately. Im in mosiah reading about abinadi. What an amazing missionary. he shared his message and was spared until he shared his full message. Then after he said what the lord wanted to, he was burned. he shared that message to king noah and the wicked men, they werent ready to receive the message but alma was, alma tried to save him then fled for his life and wrote down the words of abinadi. I wonder if Abinadi knew Alma listened and alma ended up converting many, Did abinadi know that? i have no clue but im guessing not. he didnt baptize king noah or anyone but was killed. In japan sometimes its hard to see what were doing well sometimes. i dont have a picture of a whole family being baptized and often in life we wont, But it shows through Abinadi that if we try our best and are obedient then good will come in Japan wether or not i can see it. I just have to do my best and who knows how many seeds ill plant. i think the same applies for everyday life, just being a good example to others holding the mantle of christ will help others further down the road whether we know it or not. So just an interesting thought. Well thats about it for me this week. have a good week
愛していますよ。
