Christine sent us this letter. I felt it was appropriate to share with everyone. :)


Konichiwa mina-san!
I really should not be writing you this letter but im so excited i had to share!!
You guys know our District has been teaching a kyudosha named nakajo-san, ne? Well, on Douyobi (Saturday) Fukinighto-choro gave him a Mormon-sho to read. They asked him to read Moroni 10 and pray about it. Nakajo-san said he would, demo he didn't really. Long-shimai and I asked him if he'd read any of the Book of Mormon yesterday (look @ me speaking english! :P) and he said he read a little, but he didn't know if he believed it. I explained that Mormon-sho contains the words of God and Prophets wrote it. Nakajo-san loves the prophet. He watched General Conference and felt the spirit when President Monson spoke. We asked him to continue to read and pray about Mormon-sho and promised if he did he'd learn it was true. He said he'd try.
Today! We asked him if he'd read any more. He said he had read Moroni 10. We asked how he felt about it and he said "i think it might be true." (in Nihongo of course) AHH! I was so excited! Then, ten no Otosama (Heavenly Father) put words in my mouth. :P We invited him to church this Sunday. I totally expexted him to say no. Instead, he said yes! He asked what time and said he'd come! :) Then he realized he might still be in New Mexico with his Tomodachi (friend), demo he promised that if he was, hed go to church with his friend! Kakoi, ne?
Its awesome to watch Nakajo-san progress like this. Anyway, just a quick update for you all! The church is true, dang it! :) I LOVE YOU!
Love,
Grosland-shimai
