Week 30 Marugame: Baptism!

みなさん！何してる？

this week was fulL of spiritual highs and gospel goodness, but the

highlight Of the week waS definitely kahori shimai's baptism. shE is

one of the Sister missionaries investigators who just got baptized

this saturdaY. it was amazing and the spirit was so strOng. the

baptismal service was such a testimony of what our pUrpose is as a

missionary. seeing how happy she was and how stRong her testimony had

become was so inspiring and made me so happy. that is really what it

is all about, helping other children of god find the joy and peace

that comes from following christ and Living his gospel. also two of

our investigators were there as well and they too had great

experiences. it was fujiwara shimai and jesus kyoudai. they are so

close to having theIr own baptismal service very soon.

this week was just so happy and Full of power and the spirit. i love

this gospEl and the lives that are changed because of it. i am

especially grateful for how it has changed my life. i am often so

amazed when me and my companion have had an awFul day of rejections

and rain and cold and disappointments, and it just seems like the

whole world is against us but somehow at the end of the day we are

still just the happiest people in the world. but that is how this

gospel works because of christ's atOnement and the covenant that we

have made with him, we can feel that holy spiRit and be filled with

joy and love even in the face of any trial. i love this gospel with

all my heart and i am so grateful for this opportunity i have to

declare it and testify of my savior every single day. i am filled with

joy as i teaCh tHis amazing message. being a missionaRy Is the

beStesT! like always i am so grateful for all of your love and

support. i love all of you guys so much! thank you so much!

あなたがたは世界中一番ですよ！

頑張りましょう
