Hey everyone!
Another chill week here in Atsugi. We were able to find a ton of potential investigators and talked to some awesome people!
Last pday we went to a shabushabu place. Shabushabu consists of big pots of boiling soup and tons of meat and vegatables! It's usually all you can eat as well so that was a good time. The downside was that I was super congested so couldn't really taste any food but
We were fortunate enough to meet a guy named Jeff this week who works in the Navy at the nearby base. He's from Boston and loves to talk. He invited us in and talked for a solid hour straight before we could say anything haha. It was english though so I can't complain! He's had a pretty crazy life and essentially told us his whole life story. He has lots of hard things going on as well so hopefully he will recognize that the gospel is what he needs! We gave him a Book of Mormon and plan to study it with him during the coming week.
We saw a miracle the other day! While biking in front of the church we said hello to a kid walking by. Turns out he used to come to church but stopped when he was 12 (he's now 19). Apparently life just got busy and his fam stopped going. We were able to exchange contact info and hopefully in the future will help him come back to church!
We had stake conference this past week and I was able to understand a lot more than I was anticipating so that boosted my Japanese confidence a ton! It was pretty funny, when the last speaker got up he had a solid 40 minutes left to speak so he called out two people from the congregation to come up and talk. They were really surprised but did well haha. Anyway hope everyone is doing well.
Love you all!
