don't know why it was so fast, but it was crazy to me last night that
I was planning for another P - Day..Time really is one of the craziest
things out here on a mission, but it was a really good week and we did
a lot!
This week I was able to play ALOT of ping pong. Our new investigator
Y_____absolutely loves the gospel and loves to study with us. He also
really loves ping pong, and since we have a table in the church, we
met him I think almost every day this week at the church! We would
play 30 minutes of ping pong, and then study for 30 minutes. He
absolutely loved it, and it was great because we were able to teach
him a lot! He really wants to be baptized, and because his date is so
soon it is really important that we teach him everything he needs to
know, and so it's really good that we can meet so much! He is doing
really really good and is making huge progress! His prayers have
improved tremendously since we started teaching him, and his gospel
knowledge is really growing fast! It is amazing to watch the gospel
change someones life. The only bad news for this week was that he
missed church...In our mission an investigator has to go to church at
least three times in order to be baptized, and next week would have
been his third, but since he missed it will only be his second. So,
he is most likely going to be baptized the following Sunday, but he is
still doing really good and we are really excited for him!
This week I had the chance to go visit ol Sanjo again! We went to
their district meeting this week and it was way fun to be back in that
city. I will actually get to go on exchanges there again tomorrow, so
I am really excited to be able to go back there and teach some of the
people I used to teach! It is so crazy that I am back up here, I
really never thought that I would be up here ever again and it is just
really fun to be back and be able to meet with some of the people I
used to! Also this week we have our big Zone Meeting, so me and Elder
Killpack did a lot of planning for that this week. It is always a
little bit stressful to get the whole things planned, but it is going
to be really good I think, so I am excited to train everyone! I
actually really love training in the meetings it is a lot of fun! But
we will do that tomorrow so I will have to let you know how it goes!
Yesterday I actually gave a ten minute talk in sacrament meeting in
front of all the leaders in the branches up here haha it was fun! I
was assigned to speak on goals, and why goals are important, and I
literally had NO TIME to prepare it. Luckily, God is merciful to
missionaries with little time, and in one small hour of personal study
I was able to write everything down that I wanted to say. It ended up
going really well, and I talked a lot about how goals help us stretch
our vision and increase our faith. We have a really big goal up here
in the Niigata area for the members that they are all working towards,
and so I challenged everyone to personally ask God how they could do
better, and then try and set some personal goals to help this big one
happen. It might have been a little strong...but I think it was
needed!
Things are going really good up here and we are seeing a lot of
amazing miracles which is really fun! I think we will have Y_____
baptized next week, but we actually have another baptismal date for
that same day and I really think that he could be baptized then too!
Then there is K_____ who I think i have talked about before but he
just recently told us that he has lots of interest in baptism, so
things are just going super good! I know that as missionaries we
could not accomplish all we hope to with out God's help. There really
is no way. I am so grateful to be a missionary and have this chance!
I love each of you soo much and pray for you daily! Talk to you soon!
Love,
Logan
