Week 14 - May 14, 2017


Hello Everyone!

First of all let me start by saying, Happy 母のひ！(Mother's Day). It was so nice to have had talked to my family today. 

It was a pretty good week. We had our good days and our bad days this week, and it has been hard.

This week we met up with a young girl and ended up giving her a book of mormon, but when we came back to see how her reading was, we saw hanging on her doorknob a note and a bag that had the book of mormon in it. It was sad, in the note it said how she was fine with her life and that she was not interested. 



Sometimes it's hard when things like this happens, but knowing that we have planted a seed in her heart, and we tried our best that's all we can do for now. Yes she chose to give us back the book of mormon, but I also believe that it's never a waste of time when we have the opertunity to share the gospel with others even though they having just giving it back to us. I believe that there was a reason to why they take a book of mormon in the first place. 

Although we had some hard times this week we were still manage to get 2 new Qs! One of which we were able to have a returning lesson for and for another scheduled lesson. I do believe that the Lord sees each one of us and can see the efforts we make.

The members here are amazing! On Friday we got to go to a community Shuwa Circle with the two deaf members. It was a lot of fun. It was so cool being able to learn other ways to communicate. 

Anyways, love you all.

Love Bamba 姉妹

みなさんこんにちわ！ First things first Happy Fathers day to all the father's out there!  This past couple of weeks has been crazy. We will be getting a new mission president this July, so to make it easier for President Sekiguchi President Smith had transfers again last week, and have this transfer for 9 weeks. Which is all good because Bean Shimai has honestly been the Best.  One of the things Yamagata is really famous for is for their cherries. So this week they held a cherry festival. It was a blast the weather was great and Bean Shimai and I were able to go with one of our investigators Nihei San.  Also miracle of the week. The person that we stopped last week went to Eikawa, and not only that but also read the Book of Mormon, and next week we will be having a lesson with her.  Sorry really Short email this week.

みなさんこんにちわ！ What a great week it has been!! Sorry I wasn't able to send out an email last week. My laziness took over me, but don't you worry I'll make it up with lots of pictures.  Many great things happened this week. On Wednesday we had an appointment with a lady we saw 2 weeks ago but ended up missing because of lack of communication between us. She was apparently waiting for 1 hour for us until she decided to leave, and because we had our phone on silent, and she called from a phone box, we weren't able to get her in time. She then called us later that night and told us she read the Book of Mormon, All of it!!  we then ended up meeting with her again last week, and invited her to be baptized. She was a little hesitant, but she didn't say no, but wanted to read the Book of Mormon again before deciding.  Another great experience we had was on Sunday. So there is this Less active Filipino member who everyone wanted us to go see, but never can get

Hello!!! I am loving Japan more and more each day! It's honestly beautiful here, if only you all can see it. People here are so kind and fun to talk with, the people in the ward is so fun and just amazing. The more I get to know each one of them, my love for them grows. This Sunday I finally got to meet a Filipino member who my companion has been waiting for me to meet. She was so sweet, when she figured out I was a Filipino she began to cry, and kept telling me how I was a blessing to her she was honestly so sweet, we then started talking in Tagalog with each other. A language I can actually understand and somewhat can speak.  On Tuesday we had  the opportunity to do service at an old care home, getting there itself was a struggle, it honestly felt like I was climbing a mountain. But in the end, it was worth it. It was a lot of fun being able to do crafts with these cute Japanese Obaashans. One of them kept looking at me with such scare and touching her che
