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.

Baptism Interviews...what is up?

So this week we had another pretty good week. We've been working a lot with Takeshi-san, and also with Mariko-san, and with Rei shimai. Yes, in Japanese we have the same name, but she is the bishops daughter and she is Less-Active. So we have been doing things with them to get her back and such...the other day we made a bunch of little things for the ward with a scripture on it, it was pretty much just to say thanks and pretty much just came up with an activity in order to get Rei to do something with us, so we could keep working on getting her back. Pretty intense, but yeah, so on Wednesday we had a crazy good day! We had like 7 lessons in a row and it was way good. Also Page choro and I are getting way awesome at teaching Eikaiwa...we are rocking it now-a-days. We play a bunch of different games and are just super excited and it always turns out awesome! There have been people that come to Eikaiwa that came up to us afterwards and told us that they didn't really want to come but they were so glad that they did, cause it made them laugh and they had a blast! So then on Thursday we went down to one of the University's, and pretty much walked right on campus (which is kinda sketchy here in Japan), but we did it anyways, and all the sudden one of the lady's that worked at the school came up to us and asked us if we were missionaries, and we told her that we were, and asked her if she knew where we could get a map of the school, and she was like "Ok, just wait here for a second...it's a secret" Then she came running back and gave us this crazy awesome map of the school, and apparently she quit being a Mormon a long time ago, but she keeps in contact with her missionaries over facebook. Funny stuff. She was stoked on Facebook. So then we also thought that we were going to have a Baptism this weekend, but turns out that it didn't happen. So on the day of the Baptism interview, Takeshi-san had a crazy bad day apparently. He showed up to the appointment an hour-half late and by that time we couldn't do the interview and it turns out that he smoked 60 cigarettes in that day! Crazy! That's 3 packs of cigarettes...in a single day...so that was a crazy shocker...Satan's power is real. I can't even freakin' believe it. The last "almost" baptism was ridiculous! This one is getting even crazier...so we were way bummed out, and it was pretty bad, but yeah, but we got him on repentance and stuff...so I'm pretty sure he'll get over it and then be baptized next week. Hopefully! So yeah, it's been a good/bad week...like all weeks, but yeah...keep it up in America! Peace!
