Hey Everyone!This week we had a lesson with a kinjin (golden investigator) He`s 21, college student and is interested not only in our free English class but the church!!! Wahoo! We had a lesson with him and he was just golden. We had the perfect joints in our lesson too. One of our joints Brother Tsutsumi was the same age as him when he met the missionaries so he really related to him. Our other joint Brother Akiyama was just so nice and so funny, he made Inemasu-san feel right at home. He was laughing and smiling half the time. He believes in God. He`s a seeker of truth. Healey Shimai was awesome and even invited him to be baptized! He said that if he felt that it was true that he would be baptized! I was so proud of her for boldly extending that invitation. He committed to reading the Book of Mormon and to study more! ;D
Wednesday we had a lesson with a less active. He family hasn`t come to church in a long time, but she still likes the gospel and what it teaches and invites us over to teach her. Me and Healey shimai felt impressed to just start with the basics with her and to do a lesson on God`s love. It went great! We told her who she was. She was a daughter of God. We sang `I am a Child of God.` with her in Japanese. Gosh, there is something about that song. Whenever I sing it, I feel like a part of my soul is waking up, recognizing who I really am and just putting things into perspective. And I guess that is exactly what happened to this sister because after we sang with her, I could sware I saw her eyes tearing up. The spirit was there. I loved it!
In other news, we got invited by a member Ogata Shimai, to come to her concert. She is so awesome. She`s a professional singer. That`s her job and her band was performing in this bar, so she invited the missionaries over to help her out. It was so fun! We got to meet her friends and she introduced us to everyone that was watching her perform. They were so nice and we even got a solid potential investigator who gave us her number! I swear even just little gatherings like that, where members introduce their friends to the missionaries is more effective missionary work than 5 hours of knocking doors. That`s the secret to missionary work. The picture of missionary work, REAL missionary work is the picture of a member introducing their friends or family to the missionaries.
Well have an amazing week! Love you!
See you in 5 fast Sundays!
