Week 73 Sennan: Character of Christ

皆さま、
This was an incredible week! We saw so many miracles and I got to stay in this amazing area for another transfer with my Australian mate, Elder Cotterall. We can tell that this is going to be a great transfer. The members are getting so pumped about missionary work and prepared people are being found left and right. This Sunday was an especially great day. We came to church and there were 3 investigators there including a referral brought by a less active that has recently come back to church. It was so awesome to be able to teach them after Sacrament meeting and help them recognize that they have a Father in Heaven who loves them. They were all able to recognize times in there lives when they have felt God's and the Spirit. The referral also is really wanting to follow God and set up a time for us to meet this week. After church we went to a busy train station and just started talking to everyone. Including this guy, who we are pretty sure was drunk, who stopped for us and started to ask where we were from and what we were doing in Japan. Once he read our badge he screamed, "Oh no, Jesus Christ?" And started running away, then stopped and turned back and shouted this time in English, "I am Buddha" and then continued to run away. I love streeting. We then had to run through the back streets of Japan searching for a guy's apartment in the dark who we set up a lesson with over the phone. It was dark but we eventually found it. It was a great lesson and he said that he wants to continue meeting. We then ran through the back roads to another train station and felt like we should stop and a dropped investigator's house. We were able to meet that investigator and found out that he has been trying to read the Book of Mormon and wants to
meet up to talk about it. We exchanged contact info and ran the rest of the way to the station where we met several more people who were really interested in our English Class. We finally got back to the apartment and ended the day. It was an awesome Sunday full of meeting prepared people. I am so grateful for our Heavenly Father and for His work that I have the blessing to be apart of. I'm excited for another week of 伝道. Have a great week!
