AMONGST THE WEIRDNESS THERE WAS MIRACLES.

Remember how I said that last week, i was so happy and content, etc. 

Well, lets just say, that the Lord always wants us to grow. Therefore.... this week happened. haha.
t this week might have been the weirdest week of my mission. Just a whole bunch of crazy things happened. But despite all the interesting events, we had an amazing week. We saw miracles every single day. From small to very large. Like new baptismal date investigators!
Sister Komatsu and I have been working really hard and have been learning a lot. We have been seeing so much success from helping our teaching.... specifically trying to do it in unity! We have been focusing on sharing with everyone about the restoration! Our 4 minute power lessons are awesome. One thing that was really cool, we wanted to share lesson 1 with him, but our peike only had approximately 10 minutes. It was amazing to see him afterwards say, oh, i understand. That was a little tender mercy from Heavenly Father.


Basically. 

Weirdness:
-this week everyone has been worshiping the ghosts.
-people are angry from the rain
-it rained everyday
-we are losing investigators left and right
-the road is out in a critical spot, so we have been lost a little
-we have been finding interesting people to talk with
Miracles:
-we found the most prepared family ever that starting crying from talking about baptism
-new baptismal date investigator, someone who we pass by all the time and just so happened to stop by and talk to. she has amazing questions!
-referrals from random people because we keep asking!
-we became the first sisters ever to bike to this one recent converts house
-i have biked the farthest in my mission last week, yet we are still alive
-we contacted prepared referrals
-found this other amazing investigator that was so excited, jumping in and out of her seat about the scriptures!
-so many. i can't even count. but yes. it was amazing. 

I read this talk today called, "Ask the missionaries, they can help you!"

Here are some parts that I liked. 

Preparation for a mission is important. A mission is a voluntary act of service to God and humankind. Missionaries support that privilege with their personal savings. Parents, families, friends, and donors to the General Missionary Fund may also assist. All missionaries, younger and older, serve with the sole hope of making life better for other people.

The decision to serve a mission will shape the spiritual destiny of the missionary, his or her spouse, and their posterity for generations to come. A desire to serve is a natural outcome of one’s conversion, worthiness, and preparation.

You may have previously encountered, or even ignored, our missionaries. My hope is that you will not fear them but learn from them. They can be a heaven-sent resource to you.
