Week 101 - 07/22/19 - Group Email

Hey everyone! 
Besides the humidity 😓 It was a really good week here in Hodogaya! 

Our friend Yabuki san who is on date came to church and had a really great experience. We were able to have a few lessons throughout the week with him as well and it seems like he really wants to follow Jesus Christ and improve his life! 

We also met with our African friend Solomon twice during the week. The first lessons didn't start out so well because he basically just flat out said that he didn't like the Book of Mormon and didn't think he could take the time to read through it. We decided to read together and help him see how great it is and did a lot of testifying and the lesson ended really well. He said he would give it another shot with a more open mind. Yesterday we met again and had another lesson about the Plan of Salvation. A recently returned missionary of 4 days helped us teach and it was a very spiritual lesson. He mentioned how much different he feels when he is with us learning of Christ compared to when he is with his other friends in Japan because they almost always spend their time drinking and partying. He also committed to attend church next Sunday so please pray that he follows through on that! 

I was supposed to do a baptismal interview for one of the sisters investigators but last second they canceled it because they learned she was still having problems with the word of wisdom. My comp and I had already arrived so we ended up giving her a blessing. My comp said a really nice blessing. I'm grateful that we have been blessed with the priesthood! 

We had a few member meals during the week which were awesome. The members of Hodogaya are the best! ❤️

Well I'll see ya'll in 10 days! 😎
