So there's this bridge with a bit of land off to the side
with this random goat just chilling there all day long, and I can literally
think of no idea why he's there. But he loves taking photos with us.
Awesome spiritual experience this week! After our lesson on
the Restoration with our progressing investigator this week, we met with her to
answer her questions about why she needed to be baptised if she has already
been baptised in a different church (which she no longer goes to). So we
prepared and everything, and as we met her, I just felt like.. her countenance
had changed. There was something different about her, and I just felt this
warmth.. she told us before we even really started talking that she had a dream
where she was baptised by going completely under the water and coming up out of
it. She said she feels like that's what she needs to do, what God wants her to
do. And we didn't even talk about what we were going to originally! She is
excited to progress and she enjoyed Conference this week. We are planning for
May, which is super quick for Japanese people apparently, but I feel so much
joy in sharing with her what I know, absolutely know, to be true - from
everything I have seen in my life to everything I see day to day here in
Ishigaki, Okinawa, Japan. This is a wonderful work and I am glad I get to share
it all with you!
Love from Elder Wheeler

Photo 3 - everyone from mainland Japan is sending these
sweet photos of beautiful trees and blossoms, so I want to feel included. I
love the scenery here, it's probably just pretty average to a lot of you, but
every where I look reminds me of anime I watched as a kid, so a little bit of
fanboying goes on here and there.
