Miracles out the Wazoo!

This week was full of miracles! It's gonna be in a list format, but I hope you get the sense of it.
1. We met with a guy named 智彦 after P-day. He received a flyer a year ago but decided to meet that day. We had a member randomly join in to 同席 and we had a great lesson on prayer. We also met the next day at that member's house, had dinner together, and taught most of the Restoration. 智彦さん is progressing little by little! 

2. While we were at MLC, we got a text from Kokiさん, saying he wanted to meet and start the lessons over. He hadn't had contact with missionaries for a while, so it was pretty cool for him to do it on his own. We met and went over the Restoration again; he has a pretty solid understanding. I actually taught him last year when I had splits with the zone leaders at the time, so we had a connection already. We were able to set a baptismal date for next March. It's far away, but that's what he is comfortable with right now. 

3. I went on splits with 川崎長老 this week. We have served together for almost 2 years but I've never had a chance to actually work with him. Although it was raining, we had some great contacts on the street and a pretty fun time sharing messages about family history as we housed. 

4. We had our second lesson with 佐藤さん. We previously had him read the Restoration pamphlet and he read it all and came to the lesson with some questions! One of them being "Why does God have requirements for us?" I hadn't thought about that a lot either so we had a good conversation about it. We told him the time for church and he said that he'd be glad to come(And he is coming)! A very humble guy who really seems to want to know God. 

Those were just the major ones! Aside from that, I traveled to Kamakura and Hodogaya for district meetings. Pretty 懐かしい being back there. We've got a full schedule this week, especially meetings. I'm flat out exhausted. But it's all good! Anyway, have fun everyone!
