This week we were really pushing church and trying to get people to come to church. Yesterday
we had a mission goal to have 60 people come to church. So all this
week we taught church, church, and a little more about church. By Friday night we had 7 people who were going to come to church. By Saturday night, all of our investigators canceled on us. It was really a bummer. So yesterday
we had the parents of a part member family come, and then an Eikaiwa
student come to Church. So in the end it turned out all right. I showed
the branch how to make tortillas and we made tacos! I would have
included some pictures but my hands we covered in flour and trying to
run a kitchen in a different language was really difficult, so I
apologize.
Although not very many people
showed up to church, through our efforts in trying to get people to come
to church, we were blessed with finding a lot of good investigators.
For example にわ was a former investigator who was seriously thinking
about getting baptized. But he ended up moving to China for a while and
couldn`t meet with the missionaries. So he got married and had a kid and
moved back here a few months ago. When we went and visited him, it was
like we were meant to find him. I haven`t met a nicer Japanese person
as of yet. So I really want that to go places. Like to the baptismal
font and then to the temple;) Oh and I found out that I won`t be here
for the dedication of the temple so I will be planning a trip back here
very quickly when I come home:)
Well I hope you
all are doing well and love hearing from you! Remember that God loves
you and and wants you all to be successful, so if we keep the
commandments, all of them, that will happen!
Love Elder Swenson
Pday!
