This week was pretty usual but there were still some really cool miracles. This week we were able to meet with Hamato san and teach him the Plan of Salvation. He really liked it and it made sense to him. He said that he wanted go to the 日の栄 celestial kingdom. He has depression and he was trying to stop tobacco in a week doing a week program thing that we challenged him to do. He didn't make it so he is really depressed and has kind of lost the desire to stop smoking. He also didn't keep his promise to come to church. So that was really disappointing, but we made another promise to have him come to church next week. I think he really needs to feel the spirit more to get his desire back.
This week we were able to make an appointment
with an Eikaiwa student. She is dating a man from Whales. So that was
pretty cool. We will hopefully be able to start teaching her. We are
slowly working on her boyfriend. They are really cool and we will be
going to have dinner with them sometime soon here so that is when we are
thinking to invite her boyfriend to hear the lessons.
This week we were able to get Kudo san to set
up to meet with the missionaries to just hear the lessons separately
from teaching 30 minutes Eikaiwa and 30 minutes Gospel. Now she will be
hearing the lessons from us on a weekly basis! I am pretty excited
because she will be able to progress even more.
On Saturday
the Old mission President of Sendai, Tateoka, visited and the branch
threw a BBQ for him and we were able to get Eikaiwa students there and a
less active actually came and brought a few friends. It was really
cool. So we got to talk with him quite a bit. He is the son of a member
here who actually ran away so that was a really cool reunion to have him
back with his family.
On Sunday
a less active that I gave a blessing to when I first came to Kitakami
came to church and was really happy. She thanked me and told me that she
is always praying for me so that I have success. It made me really
happy. I was so happy when I saw her at church.
Today I read a talk in this months Liahona about
Reaping what you sow. It is about a lady who sells seeds and the
complaints that she gets are just ridiculous. But she ties all the
complaints back to us and how sometimes we expect things to happen when
we don't sow. I challenge you to read it. I thought it was really good
and applicable with missionaries or anything we do.
Please read it.
Well I love you all, And I pray that all will be well with you all!
Love,
Elder Nebeker
