Transfer Calls came thins morning. We BOTH are transferring.
I've only been here for 1 Transfer so I was not expecting that at all.
I'm going to go to Okegawa as the District Leader and my new companion
is a transfer 2 trainee. That makes me his second trainer so I'm like
his stepdad. It's ok, he'll love me. 😅
So the coolest thing that happened this week was a couple called
us up saying they had met the missionaries before and wanted to take
the lessons. So we went over there and the husband had taken the
lessons up to the point where he would've gotten baptized but he
couldn't quit smoking so the missionaries dropped him. He had just
gotten married a month earlier so no missionaries had ever met his
wife. Well she was a good influence on him and together they decided
to quit smoking so they could have missionaries over and learn about
God to help their life. So they already conquered smoking! Hen we
taught the 1st lesson and taught her how to pray and they loved it.
The wife read some of the Book of Mormon we gave her and felt the
Spirit tell her it was true. She called us the next morning to tell
us she knew it was true and wanted to join the church! Isn't that
such a miracle?! God really does speak to the hearts of those looking
for truth. I know He prepared this couple to hear the gospel and that
it will bless their lives so much. They're amazing and I'm excited
for the next missionaries to continue working with them.
I know this gospel is true and that it truly does help all those
who accept and act upon its teachings. It has blessed me so much and
continues to especially bless me here on a mission. I'm so glad I
have this opportunity and look forward to the remaining 4.5 months!
Onward in so great a cause!
