This week was amazing! We were able to see lots of cool miracles, and
a lot of success! Elder Killpack and I are really figuring this area
out and have a lot of people that are really progressing a lot which
is so much fun! We are teaching lots of lessons, and seeing a lot of
success and it is just amazing. The Lord really is blessing this area
so much. We are trying our best to be obedient and work hard, and it
really is making the difference, and The Lord is blessing us with
miracles.
This week we had one of the coolest miracles of my mission! Tuesday
morning we were walking to the church and there was a guy on a motor
scooter that we walked by. I smiled to him and said
"おはようございます"(Goodmorning) and he waved and said it back and that was
that. Later that day, we were riding on our way to a lesson when I
saw the same guy on the motor scooter but this time he was stopped on
the side of the road. I waved to him again and said お久しぶりだね！(long
time no see huh!) and waved to him and he waved back with a big smile.
We road past and instantly I felt like we should turn back. But,
Elder Killpack was a ways in front of me and I didn't really know how
to stop him and talk...but as I was thinking about all this he road
past me on his scooter waving at us! Once I saw him I knew I was
talking to him no matter what. He went up and waved to elder Killpack
and then hopped into the turning lane in the middle of a big
intersection at a light. I decided to follow him...and pulled up
right next to him on my bike.(I promise I was safe mom no worries;)) I
asked him how he was doing and he was really excited to be talking to
me. Just as I was asking his name, the light turned green and we
kinda had to go. As I was riding by him, me on my bike and him on a
motor scooter, I told him that we should probably meet again soon and
he said something that i couldn't really hear over all the cars around
us. I pulled off to the side of the road, expecting him to continue
on the road and went to wave at him when I realized he parked right
behind me! I asked if this is where he stopped and he said no but
that he wanted to talk if thats ok! Well I obviously said that is
fine, and hopped off my bike and started to talk. He saw my name
badge, and said woa Jesus Christ, I love Jesus Christ! haha we talked
for a while and he said that he wanted to meet again, so we set a time
to meet the next day, and got his phone number! His name is Y_____!
So, after meeting him the next day after meeting him initially, he
came to the church on saturday to play ping pong with us, and we were
able to teach a simple restoration to him, with a member who has
recently come out of less activity. The lesson went really well, and
in the end we asked him if he found out all these things were true, if
he would be baptized, and he said YES. We set a date with him for the
27th of this month, and he is really excited to be baptized! On that
day President Budge will be here at church, so we figured it would be
a great day for a baptism! It is an amazing miracle, and we are so
excited for him! We will actually be meeting him today as well, and
he is just a way good guy.
I know that God is a God of miracles! I have seen it so much in my
mission, and I really saw it this week! Thank you all so much for
your amazing support, and all that you do! I love each of you and
pray for you constantly! Have a great week this week, and I will talk
to you soon!
love,
Logan
