We got hit with some decent rain a few times and rode home in a lightning storm once which I wasn't happy about haha it was like a half hour ride home through pouring rain and lightning but it wasn't lightning that was striking the ground it was all up in the clouds but
we were visiting someone and I think we were there a little long and we got home late and if we tried harder to manage our time on that one then we would have been home on time and also missed the rainstorm pretty much completely. But the member from the Philippines needs our help so it was really good teaching her and talking to her. She's the best and is always skyping her boyfriend in the Philippines and like he loves us and told us to tell her to get married to him. They're planning on it but obviously shes not in the Philippines right now.
We visited Kenji and read the Proclamation to the World with him and he really liked it and he told us during the time that he has been listening to the missionaries and read the Book of Mormon he really has felt like the message has been centered completely on families. He
still doesn't necessarily believe in God. BUT he has told us that this message has made him spend a lot of time pondering what he is doing as a father and husband and has really motivated him to be and do better and try harder to be that person for his family. It said it has made him really grow and feel a desire to learn and grow. While he still doesn't believe, to me that is a success. He is progressing so very subtly and simply but his countenance has changed, his words have changed, his everything has changed. He was never a bad guy to start out with; rather a fantastic guy that just doesn't have the gospel. But now he is 100x better than when he started listening a while ago, and even just in the time that I have been meeting with him.
Also yesterday the regional Family History Consultants came and spoke in Sacrament Meeting and had a fireside thing after church and it was way good and they really did such a great job at pumping every one up for Family History work and then I asked him a question about Family Tree and he couldn't help me haha I got wrecked but really he got wrecked. But the point is that the gospel is about families. The gospel strengthens families. The gospel allows families to be together for eternity. The gospel connects us to our ancestors and they say by learning about them we learn about ourselves because they are a part of who we are. The gospel allows us to perpetuate family bonds all the way back to Adam to now throughout forever. The gospel allows the faithful to become even as God and have our own families throughout time. The gospel is the soul greatest thing for families and we have
the wonderful opportunity to participate in this work and help others through family history and temple ordinances. How great is that?
We were way out in the middle of nowhere and found this store that sells homemade sugar products so the lady took us on a tour and she is 80 and works there and apparently it's a pretty popular place so we bought a jar and it tastes way bomb like is my new fave food and I have a new best friend in this grandma.
I don't know why my comp makes this face but Tanaka kyodai took us out to Chinese food and it was way good, Chinese food in Japan is pretty impressive.
It was Navin's birthday last Monday so a member got some cakes and we took it to him
