もしもし、こちらは宣教師のオールレッド長老！
this week was incredible! so many crazy things happened, we had an amazing teaR filled lesson with onE of our investigators, i won a ping pong match, we saw some Aliens, we had a booth at a festival, all you can eat sushi, we got a job, and we watched general conference! we were Definitely blessed this week with some great experiences. The job part was especially funny. recently we have been trying to brainstorm different ways to find new people to teach since all of our Housing and streeting has yielded little to no results so far. so we went to the town gym to seE if maybe setting up a sports activity would be effective. we went and asked about the times and cost to rent Out the Basketball gym and the front desk guy suddenly asks us if we have any experience playing basketball. We tOld him yes and next he asKed us if we want a job. we told him that we are vOlunteers but can volunteer there if he needs help. he told us that they have been looking for coaches to teach junior high students how to play basketball at their saturday practices. he had us go up to the gym and try out the court. i miraculously drained a three after having not played basketball since the mtc and he was super impressed. he immediately told us that we had the job and that we would just need to come for an hour on saturdays for this month to help out. we told him that we would do it for Free and he was way happy. so now me and my coMpanion are vOluteering at the gym as basketball coaches. i Really hope that it turns into an opportunity to have Meaningful interactions with others and help them see the light of christ.
also this week we had a fantastic lesson with fujita san one of Our investigators. her little brother's baby passed away this last week and she has beeN really sad. we made her a letter and brought candy and have been trying to lift her up but she is pretty torn. we had an opportunity to teach her last week and felt to teach her the plan of salvation. as we got to the End of the lesson and testified that we will be able to see our loVed ones again, she started to question saying things like why is it so unfair that her little brother's baby will never havE a chance to live through life and choose Right or wrong? we opened up the book of mormon and shared with her moroni 8:10-12 which talks about infants that die before having the opportunitY to choose right or wrong will be saved in the kingdom of god. she started to cry as we read the scripture together and told us how she started to think that there was no god when the baby died, but now felt comforted reading this part from the book of mormon. we testified of the love of god and how we can be with our families again eternally in perfect joy and happiness. the spirit was really strong and we really felt what it means to be the lord's servants comforting his beloveD children and showing them the way home. i know that our father in heaven knows each and every one of us personally and has a plan for us. i know that though sometimes we can't see the big picture, our trials and challenges will be for our good and that if we just hold out faithful to the end we shall be "received into heaven, that thereby [we] may dwell with god in a state of never-ending happiness." (mosiah 2:41) i love this gospel and i am so grateful for the Amazing words of the prophets that we were able to hear this conference weekend. like always thank you so much for all of your love and support. i love you all so much. I hope that You have the week of weeks.
がんばりましょう！
