Sister Zone Leaders?!?

This week was busy busy! First of all, we got to go to Fukuoka for MLC which is just a meeting with President and all the Sister Training Leaders and Zone Leaders. I must admit, it was a little intimidating. I was the youngest missionary there in terms of mission age. But I did get to see Lyles Shimai and Heaton Shimai which was super fun! There we discussed different things we all want to focus on and improve upon in the upcoming weeks and received training from President and the APs. I quite enjoyed it. Then we came back to Nagasaki and prepared our Zone training meeting which is just a meeting with the whole zone the first week of the transfer where we talk about things that were said at MLC and set zone goals and such. Previously this had only been taught by the Zone Leaders but now that there are Sister Training Leaders in Nagasaki we helped teach it. It was also a little intimidating. Going up in front of all of these missionaries, many of which have been in the mission field much longer than I have, and talking to them about my methods of study or teaching. It went really well though and I know that opporunities like this just help me to learn and grow more. This past week we also had quite the miracle. So a little while back we had an investigator with a baptismal date who dropped and stopped meeting with us and ignored all our attempts of communication. This past week I couldn't get her out of my mind for a couple of days and when we did our weekly planning session we decided to try and call her again. She didn't answer. However, like 8 hours later that day, she texted us and said sorry for ignoring all of texts and calls. Long story short, it turned out that that day was her birthday! She didn't have evening plans so we asked her if we could come eat come ice cream with her! She agreed, and dropped our evening plans to go see her. After a nice chat and my companions Japanese power, we were able to schedule with her again! We got our investigator back! It was truly a miracle. Updates on other Nagasaki people: Our Korean Investigator told us this past week that she really wants to get baptized in Utah by her uncle who lives in Orem. I think that plan sounds great! Except that she isn't planning on going to Utah until either this July or sometime next year. She seriously is ready to be baptized right now if we can just convince her husband that we're not a cult. Anyway, we're still trying to figure out exactly what to do about that situation. Pray for us! Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! Love hearing about the news back home and keeping in touch with everyone! Mata Raishuu ne! Wells Shimai
