we can to see miracles here, and then as we do the miracles come! We
were able to really teach a lot of people this week about the church,
as well as bring a lot of them to church! We had 3 of the coolest
guys I've ever met come to church and they really liked it! One of
them, his name is S____, he is from China and he is one of the chillest
guys I've met and is really interested in the church and what it is
all about. He actually brought his friend to church and so we were
able to introduce them both to the church and we are planning on
meeting with them again to teach them more about why this church is so
important and about our special message that we share to other people!
We also had a member who we have been working with really closely
bring her friend to church and he is a way cool guy who has lots of
questions about religion and about the church. I'm really excited to
see what happens with all of these people and I'm excited for them all
to progress to baptism! I think that some amazing things are about to
happen here in Shibuya!
Something else that was great this week was that there was actually a
baptism in the english speaking ward on Sunday, and we knew both of
the investigators very well so it was very cool to have the chance to
attend. one of the recent converts brought two of her really good
friends, and they are actually Japanese and are really good guys. We
talked to them and I actually had the chance to translate the meeting
for them because it was all in english. It was really fun because
they had never been to church before, so I kind of just got to teach
them what I thought they needed, as well as translated what the
speaker was saying so I feel like all the speakers really spoke to
their needs;) haha but it ended up being really great and then we had
the chance to go back to one of the senior missionaries homes' and
have dinner with everyone as well as these two new guys, and we were
able to teach a really powerful restoration lesson. Actually it was
kind of funny because we were kind of expecting to just share
something very simple and basic because it was their first day, but
one of the senior missionary sisters turned to me and said "elder
cottle teach them the first vision now." haha. So, I had the chance
to kind of teach by myself for a few minutes about where the church
came from and who joseph smith was. It went really well and the
spirit was definitely there in the room and we taught them and
challenged them to pray there on the spot and they did and it was
super powerful! It was awesome to be a part of such an awesome
lesson, and we are going to have the chance to meet with them
hopefully this next wednesday and teach them more about the
restoration and about the church.
I really feel like this week, people were just kind of walking right
to us, and things were just happening for us. We were able to talk to
so many people, and share so many messages this week, and I really
think that it was just because the Lord blessed us and guided his
prepared people to us. I am grateful to be a missionary! I feel
lucky and blessed to be a missionary right now at this time, and I
feel like there is just so much to be done it's crazy! Excited to
have the chance to help people here in tokyo have the chance to accept
the gospel, and I really believe that there are tons of them here.
Thank you for all your awesome support! I love you all and I'll talk
to you soon!
Love,
Logan
