Isaiah 45:6
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.

Finally Pictures!

k, so I have a little bit of time right now...haha! Well I'll tell you about this week I guess. Honto ni Totsuzen kedo shoganai ne. It's last minute but I'll try and think of stuff that happened this week. So on August 30th, Monday we had a FHE night! It was pretty awesome! You can only go to the FHE if you're bringing an investigator with you so tryed to bring some people. One of them told us they were coming, Takahashi, but didn't end up showing up...but we had a recent convert with us. Takahashi kyodai is probably going to end up being a dropped cause he's not really progressing at all. Anyways, I helped come up with the game for FHE. I felt pretty good about myself...haha! It's that one game called Apostasy...I'm not going to explain it, but yeah, we played that with all the investigators and missionaries. Tateoka President talked about the Restoration and our game tied right in with his talk. Then Tuesday we went to a buffet...worst idea EVER! Hinckley choro, one of the AP's, took us there so it was, shoganai...I couldn't do anything about it. It was like 20 bucks for lunch, and they didn't even have the beef that Hinckley choro wanted to eat in the first place...so I decided to get my moneys worth out of the buffet and then I was ridiculously stuffed and then couldn't Dendo effectively...worst idea EVER! So yeah, Hinckley choro and Kina choro had an investigator named Abe and he got baptized this last Sunday...way awesome story! He started out with nothing and now he has such a strong testimony! It's crazy! He was smoking and has depression and all-the-sudden he totally swiched his life around and now he's baptized! Awesome story! Anyways, I've been working SOOOOO hard trying to improve my finding skills! Cause let's face it...I can't talk to people, so yeah, all week I've been working on my finding skills, and praying and fasting...(since it was fast sunday recently), and I'm getting it, but I still have a huge curse! I can find people but I can't ever make them a PI!!! It's driving me nuts! So pretty much all my finding is going to waste! Well not really, cause I'm "planting seeds", but really! C'mon, I'm out here to harvest the wheat, not plant seeds! So yeah, Finding is driving me nuts, but I'm getting better! This week has been crazy at the Honbu! We have 4 days of splits in a row, which means were pretty much getting 0's on all our kekka's, so yeah. The first couple days I was on splits with one of the Japanese elders in the MTC with me, and Takaki, and then I also got to see Dick choro, who was in my doki! I pretty much get to see EVERYBODY which is pretty awesome! I love it. We have an investigator Inoue-san and he is awesome! He's sucking the gospel up! He came to church on Sunday and he stayed for the 3 hours, plus Abe kyodai's baptism, and then like an extra 2 hours...crazy! And he said that next week he's wearing his cool suit, so I'm pretty sure he's getting baptized. Umm, so yeah I was on splits today and yesterday with Hinckley choro and Ellis choro from a different Zone and he is hilarious, but anyways, so everybody we talked to while finding was ridiculously close to giving us contact information...I was seriously dying! The first guy was part of a Buddist place and he told us that it was against his religion to read the Book of Mormon, then the Girl we talked to next said that she had always wanted to go to Eikaiwa (English Class) and then we told her to come and gave her a chirachi (flyer) and then she told us strait up that she was interested in learning more about God! So of course we tryed to make an appointment and she was too busy so I went for the contact information and she was just about to pull her phone out, but then hesitated....so we testified and told her that she needed this message and then asked her again and she pulled out her phone a little more, but then hesitated again, so it was ridiculous...I decided that I'm cursed and can't get a PI...but everything else was so smooth! I don't understand. Then there was two other people we tryed to contact and they also either couldn't remember their number or pulled out their phone and hesitated. So yeah. Anyways, tomorrow I'm going to be Sempai for some other missionaries so I'm scared out of my mind...well not that bad, but I'm nervous, I better get over this curse fast, cause I'm sick of it! Haha...Anyways, sorry for the mixed up thoughts...I'm going to try to put a picture or two on here right now....Ohh yes, and this week is another week without P-day...Wait, what even is P-day?? haha...one of the pictures is of the AP's and one of them is of me and Comp, one of them is just my comp diligently working, and then one of them is my room, with the fridge with my reflection, one of them is when I first arrived in Sendai...I think you get the gist, Hopefully they all loaded...anyways, Bye!
