i am no longer in my bean area (first area) of tottori! i got
transfered to the beautiful island of shikoku in the marugame area! i
was SO sad to leave the people of tottori that i have grown tO lOve sO
much, but it is so amazing here! the branch is just straight amazing!
i just got here and i've already seen so many miracles and met sO many
awesome peOple and i love the people sO much already! including my new
companion elder anderson who is part japanese and speaks pretty much
fluent japanese so hopefully together we can clean up my rough
japanese!
then this sunday i got to gO to church and meet the branch. the whole
branch is just unreal and they are so willing tO help the missionaries
out with their dendO! i can not wait to work with them more in helping
people be brought unto christ. alsO at church i had an opportunity tO
meet jesus (as in the spanish pronunciation. as cool as that would
have been I did not in fact meet the savior at church, even though
this is probably one of his favorite branches On earth). he is another
One of our prOgressing investigators. we taught him the gospel of
christ with a cOuple other members. he took it super well and by the
end of the lesson he seemed really Opened to the idea of baptism and
understOOd the doctrine of repentance really well. i cOuld definitely
see him being baptized very sOOn.
then another one of the really cool things that happened this weekend
was we actually had the OppOrtunity to give a blessing to One of the
sisters' investigators who was strugling with back pain and wanted a
blessing tO help him feel better. elder anderson and i gave him a
blessing and right after he had a look of complete wOnder on his face.
he tOld us that as soon as we started the blessing he felt a power
come from our hands and gO throughout his whole body. he looked like
he couldn't believe it as he told us how his back didn't hurt anymore.
it was so cOOl and such a testimony Of the true power of the
priesthood and how it is used tO bless the lives of all of god's
children who will excersise faith in Him. this week was so crAzy but
so amazing! i love this new branch so much and i have been nonstoP
smiling ever since i arrived in marugame. i love this gosPel so much
and i love being a missionarY! the church is true! love you all have a
great week!
