Let me tell you a little story.
On Ishigaki, my first area, I was transfered just a few
weeks before our investigator Nakamichi was baptized, but I wasn't annoyed or
disappointed in any way because I knew it was right for me, so I continued
singing 'I'll go where you want me to go,' and during my first week in Nobeoka
(in June) I saw an awesome miracle! An Eikaiwa student, Umeda Nozomi, came up
to me and asked if we had a Church website where she could learn about the Church.
Ever since then we have been teaching her, and she has gained a lot of faith.
Through her desire to learn and know, love of the
Book of Mormon, countless prayers, hard work on not only her part but of the
part of many members and missionaries, and many, many miracles and tender
mercies from the Lord, she was able to overcome what was holding her back
from just taking that extra step of faith and this weekend... she was baptized.
Elder Wheatley baptized her and I confirmed her the
next day, and I have been just extactic. The Spirit was so strong at all her
meetings leading up to her baptisimal service, at the service itself and at
Church the next day. She even bore her testimony and shared her conversion
story at her baptismal service.
The miracle of a mission!
This week was transfer calls, and all four of us are staying
here in Nobeoka - this will be my fourth. I will be transfer 7, gettin' old ;)
