This weeks adventures include Museums, big cities,
interviews with Kaicho, a drop of snow and some dang good Japanese speaking.
One quick experience I'd like to share happened last night,
we went housing for a solid 2 and a half hours and not a single person let us
get past our 'what the heck are two white guys doing on my door step'
explanation, and we KNEW that meant we were going to see a sweet miracle! (I
even said so)
We talked to this one man through his interphone, and he
came out and we talked for a good 15-20 minutes about his beliefs, and our
beliefs. He said some interesting things and I just started telling him that
the reason two 20-year olds have been sent it because we're not here to promote
the Church and try to prove our point by showing contradictions of others, but
that because we have a testimony of our own we have come to invite people to
try the same. We shared a short message about the Book of Mormon and when he
asked if our parents were members I was more confident than ever to say they are,
and how important they believed it was for us to gain our own testimony through
reading, pondering and praying about the Book of Mormon. He gladly took one
with the invitation to read a place we selected, and the biggest miracle of it
is that every day he works and doesn't return till 11 or 12 at night, but he
had yesterday evening off for some reason. He said we could try and visit any
time but he is sure he won't be home. That means we won't be able to meet him,
and we may not see him ever again, but boy did I feel good walking away from
that one!
I give this week a 10/10
