Deadlifts

So one of our investigators is progressing but he is an eternal investigator. He has such a hard time believing in God and told us that he doesn't care about the afterlife but he just wants peace in this life. He kind of has the wrong motives we think but he'll figure it out, even if it takes a while. Our 20 year old investigator Okumura hasn't been progressing but he's still willing to meet with us. New Years and Seijinshiki kind of threw things off but we'll have him back on track. He enjoys meeting with us and we just taught him the Plan of Salvation. We dropped our third investigator because he straight up told us that because of test season he doesn't have time. One of the members, Fujinaka Kyodai wants to go with us to visit him and figure things out, so maybe he's dropped? We'll see but I really like him.

We made three return appointments this week but they all fell through.

We went down to Hikoshima to do service at Tomita Kyodais house (he has four or five greenhouses) and we moved a ton of wood, moved giant pipes and used a table saw to cut them, I bundled them and deadlifted them into his little truck thing and he moved them. My legs were dead for the last few days but it was awesome. I love serving people and taking  time out of our day to help them do things that they aren't able to do themselves.

We had a music concert night on Saturday and 30 people came (I guessed only 12 would) and we played upside down and everyone had different songs to play - I just made something up on the stage and it sounded very good, shoutout @ Durtschi and AP music theory class for that one - and then Kaicho's band played. I talked with the others' investigator about motorcycles and trains for like 20 minutes which really boosts your confidence level because just being able to talk about random stuff is so satisfying, but the gospel is obviously the best!

I love you all!

We had to go to the bike shop at 8:00 last night because Horstmeier Choro got another flat and it was pouring rain. I love it!
