October 31, 2010~~Konnichiwa! Thanks for the emails again. I enjoy them every week. Wow Miles is home and Kyle is leaving. Pretty sweet but I don't know where Kyle is going? Tell me next week. That is awesome that so many people that we know are going on missions. Pretty sweet. O and dad, thanks for telling me about your week. I need to be more observent and look out for those people. I guess I had a pretty cool experience the other day. Me and Kimura were housing and a lady answered the door with her 8 year old daughter with her. The lady wasn''t responding well to the message but when I looked the little girl in the eye I felt something. The spirit was way strong and I know that she will have an opportunity later in life to hear the gospel. In the Bible it talks about how parents will reject Christ in front of their children and then deny them the opportunity to hear. I see this almost everyday and it is heart wrenching but God has a plan for everyone. Arito san is doing way good. The more I get to know her the more I understand how God must feel when he sees one of his children get baptized. Dad, today when you talked about those people who if they would just accept the gospel would become happier, it made me think of Arito san. Yesterday at church when sister Arito was taking the sacrament I felt way happy for her. She really wants to go to the temple so I am really motivated to help her out. I have another quick story for you guys today about a man named Brother Yawata. He got baptized 2 years ago after being an investigator for about 7 years. He was homeless for 5 of those 7 years. When he got baptized he regretted not doing it 7 years earlier. He has had a tough life but he knows God lives now. When he first met the missionaries he prayed to know if the Book of Mormon was true. God answered him in a lot of different ways that he realized later but one way was simply through the spirit. He felt it but didn't act for 7 years. When he finally acted and received the Holy ghost he said it was amazing. Do we really realize how special the Holy ghost is? I know that I am still learning. I love you guys and the people in Japan are accepting a message close to our hearts. Thanks for helping me in my conversion process. You all were in a sense my missionaries if I think about it. I love you all and till next time.
O and I forgot. If you could send me some advil and a couple long sleeve shirts. I gave a couple away so I am low. Thanks
