we go to this one Lawson and there's tons of apartments and it starts raining. I was going to take pictures of this place because I know the sisters haven't been there and I always take pictures of good places for the sisters to go. Well it rained so I couldn't and we left and
did work for five hours straight and it went fine, nothing too spectacular. So then after we have to go to the bathroom again. So my comp wants to go to this Family Mart and I use my trainer authority and say no we're going to another Lawson. Lawson's anywhere are better
than Family Mart, just automatically. And this one Lawson I had in mind is one of the nicest in Okinawa. So we went there, went to the bathroom and then got a little snack before leaving, and then all of a sudden the sisters roll up out of nowhere and were so shocked to see us there and we talked and they are getting treats too well guess what they don't know where they're going that night because their maps stopped working and then like so we look it up and it was the exact same place I was going to take pictures of and show them. The exact same spot. So we were going to this other apartment and it turns out the sisters were trying to visit this recent convert that lives there but she wasn't him in the exact same apartment building that we were going to. How cool is that? So we do this apartment building and make a return appointment in the second floor, and then "accidentally run
into" the member on the first floor, teach her a lesson and then she volunteers to help us in our lesson next Friday. How cool is that? Miracles for days!
Now what about the sisters? Well they didn't end up the best like we did. So apparently the met this lady that talked for an hour about a bunch of crazy stuff and now sister Sakamoto is all freaked out and all this stuff I can't really tell you guys and so she's been having a super hard time since Friday and it's obvious and we've done our best trying to help her and keep her going and stuff and like she'll get there but honestly she's just scared. Just scared. And like all this crazy stuff so we gave her a blessing on Saturday and it went well and then whenever we're all there helping her she's okay but whenever she's at the apartment she feels vulnerable and scared and stuff well last night after reporting with the sisters I just prayed so hard like I've never prayed so hard in my life if I'm being honest. It's like just I don't know what to do. I've talked to them so much and don't know and so I was literally pleading and frustrated with God about is whole situation because I am lost and she is lost and we're all worried. Well so I'm asking God what to do and this answer comes immediately "just love her." And I was thinking well I do that anyways and have for 10 weeks so what do I do differently? And he said again immediately "just love her." And I'm getting his point now and I ask is there anything else and again immediately "just love her". That whole time was full of the spirit so strongly, almost indescribable. I know God was telling me what to do to help her. So I came out of my conversation with God full of peace and strength. I felt like everything was going to be okay. The fear and anxiety at least in that instant were gone. There's probably a million things that she needs right now and if God is only telling me to love her than that's what I'll continue to do. He knows how we all need to be loved and when I asked how, he told me just to do it. I don't think he really cares as much about how but rather just that we try. He loves all of us and we are used to help other people and love other people and bring them closer to God and help them feel His love. That's our purpose here and we just have to do it.
Love you All!
