This past week was full of fun! Sister Malone (The bean) had a
birthday on Tuesday and my companion had her birthday on Thursday. We ate WAY
TOO MUCH JUNK FOOD. Just sayin.
Notable events include:
George, one of the Elder's investigator, got baptized on Saturday! The
Elders met him housing a few months back. and he is half Japanese, half
American, lived in Okinawa his whole life, is fluent in both languages and SO
funny! He calls me Nicole, for some reason, and I actually don't even remember
telling him my name so I'm not sure how that happened and hasn't stopped despite
my constant efforts of reminding him I am a missionary and he should call me
Sister Wells. Or Ueruzu Shimai if he wants Japanese. But it's ok, because we're
pals, and his baptism was AWESOME.
This next week, the other Elders are having one of their investigators
Gisuju San be baptized on Saturday. And then the Saturday after that Takeshima
San is scheduled to be baptized! August is proving to be a month full of
miracles!
On another note, that lady that we met 2 sundays ago at a nearby store
before church who couldn't come that day, came to church yesterday! We were
starting to worry just a little bit because she wasn't answering our calls, and
we even stopped by her house a couple times with no response, but then she just
showed up to church! Her name is Toshiko and she's Okinawian, but married (maybe
was married? Still not sure) to an American from the military, and thus had WAY
good English, and all of her kids live in the states and are members of the
church, so she's been quite a lot, and the first thing she asked me when we came
into the chapel was "So who's the bishop?" so it appears that she is pretty
familiar with the church organization. She made friends easily and even invited
Sister Crosby, on of the Senior missionaries, over to her house so she can cook
her some Japanese food. We still haven't actually taught her much, but she sure
has a lot of potential!
Anyway, there is always TONS of things that happen each and every week, but
when it comes to Pday I'm just too tired or can't really remember much so I'm
sorry for the slightly short emails. Thanks again everyone for the prayers and
support. See you all in 3 and half months!
Sister Wells
