Mom and Dad,
Things have been good here. It's been so much
fun working with Elder Ogasawara. It's been quite trying on both of our parts
language wise - but we're both helping each other to improve. The work is going
well here. We've been focusing a bit more on finding right now. Last week 1 of
our investigators dropped us, and we dropped another one of our investigators.
Also, lately, quite a few of our investigators haven't been replying to e-mails
and phone calls, so we haven't been able to meet with them. We've had a lot of
time for finding, and we've been really praying for the Lord's guidance in
helping us know where to look for those who are prepared to receive the Gospel.
He's granted us a little success as
tonight we have an appointment with a man we met on the
street. We're hoping and faithful that we will continue to have success in
finding.
I think it's still technically rainy season right now, but I'm
not sure. It absolutely poured on
Saturday. It's getting so hot and humid here that it almost
doesn't make a difference if I wear a raincoat and rain pants - if the rain
doesn't soak me then my sweat nearly does. It's getting to the time of year
where it's just hot and humid and uncomfortable. I think it's still technically
rainy season right now. One of the Eikaiwa students told me that rainy season
came a bit early this year and I've also been told it lasts about a month, so
I'm under the impression it should be coming to an end soon. We've had a sunny
day or two lately. It's warmer under the
sun, but it's nice
because it's not quite as humid.
after church
we went out to Nankoku Shi to try and visit a former investigator. We ended up
getting lost because it's way rural. We probably rode our bikes at least 20
kilometers
in the humidity and heat. It was hot and tiring,
but the physical discomfort is a small thing in the cause of truth and the
salvation of souls.
