Week 27 - August 21, 2017

みなさんこんいちわ！

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week. This week has been super crazy, but first for the most important part. Last week I mentioned I got transferred to Kamisugi, so far so good. I already love it here, the members are amazing. And as for my new companion, she is as amazing as the area, if not better. Shibahara 姉妹 is super sweet and so patient, really fun to be with, and she loves meat! Haha. Also the fun part is that she also served in Yamagata, so have been talking a lot about that, which is super crazy because this week we have had so many Yamagat members visit Kamisugi throughout the week. 



On my first night in Kamisugi we went to the returning missionary testimony. Haha which I think was a bad idea, because it just made me and shibahara Shimai very trunky! It was really nice though to here each one of their testimonies. 


So the crazy part of this week. I haven't been in Kamisugi for a full week and I get another companion! Shibahara Shimai hasn't been feeling the best so she will be in the Honbu for the week with Dayto 姉妹s companion. Which leads Dayto Shimai as my new companion for the week, trying to figure out how we will be able to do it since Dayto Shimai and I are not fluent in the language, but I have faith we can do it! Funny thing though. Dayto Shimai is from the Philippines, and ever since members/ missionaries found out that there will be a Filipino companionship, everyone has been wanting us to visit Filipinos. People has been also asking us if we talk in Tagalog in the apartment...haha and the answer is no.Dayto Shimai and I have only been speaking in English.  It's been super fun, even though we are still trying to find our way around the area, and still really new with the Language, but I'm really excited for the week. 


Last week we had a lesson with Wada san who has a baptism date set for next month, super exciting. She is this short grandma, who from what I heard is really rich! She goes back and forth from Kobe to Sendai based on her mood. Haha. But she is super sweet. During our lesson she talked about how grateful she was in meeting the missionaries. She was so pleased with our message, and just kept saying how she just wish everyone in Japan can listen to the missionaries. 

This email is pretty, short but know that I love each one of you. I'm so grateful for the many opportunities that I come in contact with. I don't know how this week is going to go, but I have faith that when we put Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ in the centre they will never leave us behind.

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. I promise I'll send a longer one next week. It hasn't been easy, but it's rewarding. Bean Shimai had told me this analogy of

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

Week 11 - April 24, 2017 CHERRY BLOSSOMS!

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
