Short week...Ujie-san

Well this week was pretty good. We had one major thing happen, and that was the Zone Taikai. Aoyagi choro came over and talked to us about a ton of stuff. The main thing that I got out of the whole thing, was about when we are teaching younger people. Aoyagi choro was a convert when he was little and the one thing he needed was his parents permission and so we talked about how to explain to parents about this church and what things parents find frightening about religion and such. It was pretty inspiring, at least to me. We also practiced smiling and complementing people...it was pretty awesome. It was a pretty good conference. This week we met this guy named Ujie-san. He is probably the most humble person that I've ever met in my life. We met him right outside of the church and he told us that the missionaries have tried to stop him tons of times before and he has always rejected them, but this time he decided to listen to the message because he didn't even know how he was going to live the next day. So yeah, he decided to listen to the message, and at first he had only a little tiny bit of faith, but we met him again today and he has opened up so much! I've decided that in order to get baptized, first you have to be humble, and the second thing is that you have to have the energy to do the commitments, and if you do the commitments and you are humble, then you can pretty much be baptized. So the reason I'm stoked for Ujie-san, is because he is humble...WAY humble....the very first things he said to us was that "I don't think God is watching over us, and I don't thing God knows the thoughts and intents of our mind..." Just like he knew exactly what to say, except for opposite. But he finally broke down and decided to meet with us to hear what we have to say, and he is going up so far. It's way exciting to see people like him. Anyways, Yeah that's pretty much been my week so far. We have just been trying to find people, and we had the Zone Conference. Also Tagajo...the neighboring area opened for Dendo! So we sent the Sisters over there. Hopefully they do good! Yeah! Other than that, we just keep truckin' down here in Sendai. Having the time of our lives! Dendo is awesome!
