I feel really good about this last week, we worked really hard. It's good to have a companion who is always ready to work and wants to be completely obedient. Nagamine Shimai really helps me be better every single day.. And she is so cute! She is your classic tiny, adorable Nihonjin, but with a really fun sense of humor. She is always laughing and joking around, even when she and I don't perfectly understand each other we always have fun. Working with her is the first time I haven't been able to fall back onto English. My Japanese is going to get improve like crazy. Yes! :)
We end up meeting so many people everyday, I couldn't possibly tell you about them all. Lots of Non-attending, investigators and people that we want to get investigating. Obihiro has so many old investigators, which I think I told you a bit about last time. We are just trying to make really good use of our time, going to those who have sincere desire to learn or need our help and then also making time to find new people to teach.
There was this really cool lady we found a few days ago, younger and loves to travel. A bit of a free spirit, you could say, but really neat. She took a copy of the Book of Mormon and we made a return appointment. We got a call from her yesterday and she told us that she was going to be going out of town to Sapporo because her friend was coming in from Australia. Today we are going to go by and see her again, but after that it might be hard to meet for awhile.
We've really put a big emphasis on using the Book of Mormon this week, we actually set a goal for us both to put a copy in our bags and then give them both away before we get back. It feels so good to give them away, it really is the best tool that we have. I love leaving someone with and and just feeling the potential they have if they would only sincerely read, ponder and pray about it. There have been a few really cool people who have taken it and we have appointments to go back and see them! There isn't a better book in the world!
Love you all, have a good week. Make sure you go read the Book of Mormon today, alright? And if you see my poor overly pregnant sister give her a hug for me. Poor thing!
Love,
the almost auntie,
Megan
