Hey everyone!
Unfortunately like always I don't have tons of time, but I can do this
today! This week was really just full of amazing miracles and it
really was just a super good week to be a missionary! The weather
right now in Tokyo is just amazing! It is officially time to start
breaking out the short sleeves and I am way excited! It is the best
time in the year weather wise right now because it is super warm, but
not humid yet. So we are enjoying it! This week we did a lot of
different things, but I want to try and tell you some of the awesome
miracles that happened!
The first thing happened all the way at the beginning of last week. We have
been meeting with T_____a lot lately and he is really close to being
baptized, but he still needs his mom's permission. So, this week we
were just thinking of what to do, and we had the thought to try and
visit them. Normally his mom doesn't get home until after 9, so we
haven't had the chance to visit her ever, but that night we just felt
like we should try riding over there and just knock and see. We
headed over on the bikes, and knocked on the door. We waited there
for a second, and then a little head popped out the window by the door
and just said はいちよと待って！(oh just wait one minute) so we waited and then
before we knew it his mom came out and just started talking to us!
She is such a nice lady! we talked for a few minutes and she just
kept telling us thank for what we were teaching T____and she thought
it was really good and all these amazing things! After a little bit
we told her we had to leave but that we would love to come back and
visit again and she said that we were welcome anytime! It was an
amazing miracle because she now is just really open to us and knows
what we are doing!
So after that happened, yesterday when T____ didn't come to church we
wanted to go tell him we missed him, but when we knocked his mom came
to the door again! We talked and T____ had left with some friends, but
we talked a little bit about church, and we are meeting her today! We
are hopefully going to help her see that if T_____is baptized that will
really bless his life and that she too can have that blessing! I
really feel like she has just been so prepared, and I really hope that
today goes well! That was just one awesome miracle that we were able
to see today!
The work is going really well right now. Elder Egbert and I are
really working well together, and are really working with a lot of
urgency for the work! This last week we were really able to see how
when we are urgent about the work, we are able to see miracles that we
wouldn't be able to see if we weren't doing those things! We were
working really hard all week this last week, and we were able to see
some amazing miracles. I am excited to see what happens this week!
Something cool I don't know if you know this or not but on the 24th of
this month, Elder Cook from the Quorum of the twelve and Elder Maines
from the Presidency of the Seventy are coming to do a 2 mission
conference with us an the South Mission! We are so excited to have
the chance to learn from an apostle! We have been preparing a lot as
a mission, and are really excited to see what kind of revelation we
will be taught. It is an amazing experience to be a missionary and
have experiences like this! We will let you know how that goes!
I hope you all know how much I love you! But also I hope you all know
how grateful I am to be a missionary. It is such a blessing to see
peoples lives change as we teach them about Christ and about the
Atonement and how as they grow closer to them they just feel so much
happiness and peace. I am so grateful for the Atonement in my life!
It helps me every single day, and it gives so much power to us because
we are so far from perfect. I hope everyone has an amazing week, and
I will talk to you all soon!
Love
Logan
