YSA activity was awesome!

So this week on Monday we went to the Sasahara's house to do a Family
Home Evening, and we set a baptismal date with them, so that was such
a miracle. We set it for the 2nd of June, so hopefully they make it!
I'm excited for them. They said they would do their best to get an
answer from God. The next day we went to Watanabe shimais house and we
did a lesson on the Sabbath Day, and it's always way tiring to go to
her house because she tells us the same stories over and over and over
again, but I guess that's just how old people work. That is one thing
I've noticed is that living by yourself must not be very fun at all.
You have no one to talk to, so that's why when other people come over
you spill out everything and talk forever. It's the terrible circle we
must all go through...can't wait...Anyways then after Watanabe-san's
we visited another member who lives by herself and she is pretty old,
so we went to help her pull her weeds, and it was a good expirience.
After that we went with the Sasahara's to the Festival in Yamagata. It
was pretty much a bunch of tiny stores lined up on the street selling
stuff, but it was fun. We got to walk around with them and see how
they were doing. On Wednesday we had Eikaiwa in the morning and then
had a lesson with Cho-san which was ma-ma...he was already baptized in
a different church so he doesn't think that the Priesthood makes any
difference. Then we did a way cool Eikaiwa for the night class.
Sanders choro and Okada choro did a skit thing and we played a fun
game with cloths afterwards. Pretty fun. On Thursday we had weekly
planning and we made a funny picture for the Sasahara's and we made a
little puzzle and a game and brought it to their house, secretly put
the game in their mailbox and secretly put the treasure in the
backyard, then went to go visit Uchiumi-san, but she wasn't home so we
went back home for the day. And that way it for Thursday...for Friday
we went into Sendai because another 70 came to visit. Yamashita couple
came and gave a long presentation on how to work with members pretty
much. So that was fun. It's great to see all the missionaries and to
know that everyone is working hard. On Saturday we went on one of the
main roads and did guitar dendo again...passed out English class
fliers and Sanders choro played the guitar, so that was fun, and then
we had a lesson with Naoko-san and we set another day for her baptism,
we set it for the 9th so I hope that one goes down too. If it so
happens that she does get baptized on the 9th, then I might have to
change my plans to come and see it. But after the lesson we had a YSA
activity and in total we had 17 people come, and 5 of them were
non-members, so that was way good for us. 5 non-members at a YSA party
is way awesome right! We just ate soup and played ping-pong, but it
was way fun. Then on Sunday Watanabe-san called us and told us that
she didnt want to be a part of this church anymore because there was
this lady that she let into her home that tried to steal her money and
she hit her in the face, but then when she came to church she lied to
us and told us that she didn't hit her, so later that night she called
us and told us that because she lied to us and she hit someone that
she didn't think she could be part of the church, but we talked to her
about it and it ended up alright. Then it was Mother's Day in America
today so I got to talk to my family and that was my week! Have a good
next week!
