Hard work and Blessings

August 31, 2009--The much awaited letter--we wondered all week if Brother Kitaoka would get baptized, and he did! He looks like such a nice young man.

Konichiwa! Sounds like everyone is doing well. Thanks for the email and the pics. But I actually didn’t get the pictures. There was nothing attached. Sorry. Maybe just send them again. Did you get my Pics yet? When you get the card just send it back and I’ll send the other one. . Oh, before I forget. Remember the lady that couldn’t use her arms very well that I was prompted to go help? Well she and her Family showed up to English class! The Lord works in mysterious ways. But ya Harris choro goes to Kobe this Thursday. I get a new companion that same day. I will miss Harris choro but change is good. We went to a castle in Kyoto today. It was way cool. You’ll like all the pictures. Well, this week was another busy week. We had the baptism on Sat. and it went well Kitaoka san did get baptized! It was a great experience. The sisters’ investigator Yuko also got baptized. The ward is really helping out and I think they will fellowship very well. Speaking of fellowship, we have another one tonight. The first one went way well. Friday, the member let us use his shop after it closed at 8. so it was me and Harris and Oscar and Friday. We taught the restoration. It was good and the spirit was very strong. Tonight we will teach about our purpose in life and the atonement. Mamor is really progressing. Mamor is the guy that didn’t show twice because he couldn’t find the church. We finally got him to the church and taught the second lesson. He is getting baptized on the twelfth. He isn’t in our area so we transferred him over on Saturday at the baptism. He is an awesome man. I’ll send pics of his baptism. Things are great.-- there are prepared children of God everywhere. It is exciting to see baptisms because I know that anything is possible. These peoples’ lives are changing. I am very blessed to be able to see it. I have to cut this short because I still have a ton to do but I love you all. Keep studying! I love hearing that everyone is reading the Book of Mormon. Well I’ll talk to you soon! peace.
