Transfer 10, Week 3: September 9, 2013

皆様こんにちは！

Oh my goodness this week has been crazy.. We had a WAY busy week with somehting big going on every single day.  Luckily though, I don't think it will take long to explain so here we go! :-)

 

Wednesday: Kokans

This last Wednesday I went on my first kokan (Exchange) of the transfer!  One down, 7 to go!  x)  I went with Sister Imano in Kohoku and it was SO much fun.  Sister Imano is a SAIKO missionary and I LOVED working with her.  Sister Imano is training a new missionary named Sister Wells and the two of them are SO cute together.  They're working so hard and seeing so many miracles. It was way fun to spend the day with Sister Imano and catch up with her since she moved out.

 

Thursday: Toshiko

We had a lesson with Toshiko!  We asked her if she tried praying again and she said she did!  She said that for the first time she prayed and really wanted an answer.  She said when she did she felt really warm and we explained again that was the spirit.  :-)  It's AMAZING to see how much she's changing!  Only a little bit more!  :-)

 

Friday: MLC

We had Mission Leadership Council on Friday!  Sister Sasaki and Sister Miskin (My daughter and granddaughter) both came and we found out that they're going to be Sister Training Leaders from next transfer!  YAAAY!  :-D  I also got the chance to talk to Yuka!  My old investigator from Kichijoji!!!  AHHHH!

 

Saturday: Barbeque

The Homem family made this HUGE Brazillian barbeque for all of the missionaries!  It was WAY fun and we were able to build a really good relationship with Sister Homems nieces who are not members. :-D

 

Sunday: CHURCH

We sang in Primary, Gospel Principles, Primary again, and then I had to give a talk in Sacrament Meeting!  It was crazy!  I definitely felt the gift of tongues.  I had nothing really prepared, but somehow I was able to just stand up and bear a 5 minute testimony.  CRAZY!  I never would've been able to do that before!

 

Monday: Stuffed

We had 2 dinner appointments where the members fed us SOOO much. Seriously I gained like 20 pounds just from that.  We also went with a girl who is preparing for a mission to visit a PI named Enomoto.  Enomoto is SO prepared and agreed to take the lessons!  I wish I had more time to go into her story, but I don't.  I'll tell you more next week!

 

That was my week!  I love you all so much!  Have a fantastic week and I'll talk to you soon!  LOVE YOU!

 

Love,

Christine
