Merry Christmas!! This week was great and we had lots of things happen! On Monday we had a zone p-day then a blitz afterwards. We did a white elephant together and played some games as a zone. For the blitz we went to the hon-atsugi eki which is way bigger than the one in my area so that was really fun and there were tons of people to talk to!
We had our third lesson with our new investigator Yokota this week. This time he invited us inside and opened up a bit more than the last two times which was great. We taught him the restoration and I was finally able to recite the first vision that I memorized in the MTC! The lesson went super well, he understood what we were teaching, and his prayer at the end was way good! It was definitely the best lesson we have had since I've been here and I felt like the spirit was there!
On Tuesday we had a mission wide conference. It was fun to see the whole mission together in one place! We heard from all the stake presidents in our mission and did a talent show and lunch and a few other things. During the week we printed out some photos, bought frames, and a bunch of candy bars that we wrapped and gave them to some investigators and members! It was cool to see how even our small gifts meant so much to them!
We saw a Christmas eve miracle yesterday! 2 of our english students came to church it was so awesome! That was the first time we have had anyone come to church let alone 2 people. They both loved it so hopefully we can work with them. One of them said his favorite part was the hymns (I could tell... he was trying to hit those high notes lol). I thought that was cool because all my life I have been used to just singing at church and didn't realize how much the words of hymns mean to some people. I have started to love singing the hymns also since i came out on the mission!
After church we went to the rest home with a bunch of members and did some caroling. It was so much fun and all the old Ojiichans and Obaachans loved it! We were blessed to have two meals with members this past week. The ward also gave the missionaries a bunch of food for Christmas, the Shonan ward is so nice! I hope everyone has an awesome Christmas where ever you are!
メリークリスマス!
