Week 54 - July 27, 2014

Hello! This week is short on time, so sorry.

Update: Shinji has a baptismal date for August 10th (picked it
himself) and he has no problems with the Word of Wisdom or receiving
permission from his mom.

In other words, pre-packaged, sealed-and-dealed golden investigator status.

MIND = w(O0O)w

Love you all! Thank you for the prayers. I feel the strength of your
faith every day.

Week 53 - July 20, 2014

Hey hey hey! A personal shout out to my sister, Dani, who wrote me the
best email she has all year so far. Or was that the only...? I don't
remember....

Hehehe

Anyways, love my family. They are the best. (b^ ^)b

So this week, we have some awesome news. Shinji is as golden as people
come. He is praying like he's been a member his whole life, he reads
the Book of Mormon daily, he chose his own baptismal date, his father
passed away a year ago and so we want to teach Shinji baptisms for the
dead, etc. He is seriously the coolest.

Miracle: My companion and I were out working this Tuesday in the
ridiculously and unbelievably hot Japan weather. I was starting to get
way tired, so we said a prayer. I was filled with faith and asked
Heavenly Father to send us the person who is ready to be baptized. As
we were walking, the 1st person who pulls up next to us is the most
golden child I have met on my mission. And yes, that golden child was
Shinji.

To clarify the story, we DID meet him the first time last week Sunday.
This Tuesday was just a confirmation to me that Father wants Shinji to
be baptized even more than I do. And so i know it will happen. Shinji
chose his own day for August 10th. Please pray for him! He'll make it
if we have faith.

I love you all! You are the best!
