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.

Finding, Teaching, Baptizing.

So Hey again. It's another week here in the outskirts of the East. But Sendai is the best! So I got a new planner for the week, but I think I can remember a bunch of things that I've done recently. So the first thing to say of worth is that Page choro and I have been teaching this guy named Takeshi-san, and he is just blossoming like a flower. We actually really really wanted to move his baptism date up to the 6th of this month, but instead I guess we'll just leave it at the 13th. We originally thought that he could be baptized on the 13th, but turns out that we keep meeting him and meeting him and turns out that he could've been baptized on the 6th. But we had a lesson with him on Sunday...yesterday, and we had the Stake President joint for us, and Takeshi-san was hardcore testifying to the stake president that this church was true and all that, even though he probably has no idea who he was testifying too. It was pretty cool. He is definitely going to be a crazy good member. He is actually chillin' with us right now...but yeah. So then apparently there is going to be a Huge EFY session that is happening in Tokyo and Kyoto in a week or two, but all the people from the Sendai stake are going to go and they had this practice session to get the kids psyched for the event, and Page choro got to bear his testimony in front of all the kids that were going to EFY because Page choro is from North Carolina and he is pretty much in the same boat as them. Grew up with only a few Members in his school, and such...so he really felt a crazy close bond with them and testified that through EFY you can know if the church is true. It was pretty awesome. We have also been focusing on Goal setting lately...and you have to really know what you're doing when you plan goals and stuff. I have been learning tons about how to set goals and execute them. So hopefully it will be a good thing to take with me from here on out. But yeah we've also been thinking a ton about how to find people, cause in the mission right now that is the main problem...so me and Page choro have been trying to come up with a ton of ways to find some new people, and i'm pretty sure we are going to go intense mode on Japan over here. We're planning on taking on businesses and stuff...so I don't know what's going to happen, but hopefully it's something awesome! Anyways...the last thing I want to say is there is another person that we are teaching whose name is Mariko-san...she is a way good. Tonight we are planning on teaching her again, and she is way prone to feeling the Spirit, it's crazy! She is definitely going to get Baptized sometime soon, so that should be way good. It's people like Takeshi, and Mariko that make dendo totally worth it. It's awesome out here, and sorry to everyone that wrote me a letter and I didn't send anything back. I'm way busy, but I know that's no excuse...plus transfers made me lose some of my letters and stuff, so....yeah that's another excuse, but yeah. I'm sorry! Keep up the good summer! Have an awesome summer!
