Exciting new teaching experiences

Man I'm slightly torn. I'm not a massive fan of emailing but it would be selfish to hold back the experiences. Hahah I LOVE reading emails. But it's just so much time to reply. But I will share one AMAZING miraculous experience with you.

So like an hour before eikaiwa on Saturday we get a call from some of the elders and they're like "umm where are you, get over here, an amazing lady who wants to learn more about Jesus Christ just showed up at the church an hour early for eikaiwa." I KNOW RIGHT! Where am I? I don't even know at this point. What is my life? So we book it over there on our bikes and just go in and chat with her and she is just the gentlest kindest person. Literally just so gentle and sweet. Quiet and open and kind. She has a little one year old daughter and she told us she wants to believe they'll be able to be together after this life but sometimes it's just hard to believe. So we taught her a bit about the Plan of Salvation. That not only can she be with her daughter but with her Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ too who lover her so much and who have made a wonderful plan for her. Then she asked us why we came on mission, like what made us want to decide to. For me it was the Spirit confirming to me that God knows my worth and that He loves me and that this mission is part of His plan for me. And so I bore testimony of how through those feelings my desire to believe in Heavenly Father was solidified into faith as I trusted Heavenly Father's guidance. She told us that she had come to eikaiwa once before a year ago, came to church once too, and even started the lessons with a sister who has since gone home.

I guess they lost contact with her, because this all happened in a different area of the mission, but then on Saturday she just showed up an hour early and was ready to talk and listen and help us prepare. We were assigned to teach the children's class that day and she wanted to come to our class haha so I think next week she will bring her daughter and we can talk with her more.

Massive miracle though. Prepared people are out there, and there are people to love all around. ❤❤ I am so excited.

We also started doing a class after eikaiwa where we go study the pamphlets as a group, and practice our english while doing so and it was awesome! 3 students came. I love getting to help people feel the Spirit at eikaiwa and watering that seed of faith.

2. Sooooo another story of dendoing/ sharing the gospel with an adorable old lady. We're on our way back from the church today and we stop this lady, and we're chatting (trying to) she tells us she's 84, and then she pulls out some clippers and is like "do y'all want some flowers?" And I'm like "are you serious?!!" And she was! She walks over around the corner by this fence and we follow and she just starts clipping these wonderful daisies for us. And we chat for a bit about service and about why she is such a good kind person. And that leads us to talk about family because she said she just grew up that way. ❤❤ man I love families. So then we read mosiah 2:17 because boy does she know how to serve and love her neighbour. She appreciated the scripture and we bonded a little but didn't want the Book of Mormon when we tried to give it to her but that's okay because SUCCESS IS IN THE INVITATION.

Remember that please❤❤ President Nagano has reminded us that every rejection sanctified us, not even Christ, the perfect missionary, was accepted by all those he taught, but he loved them all the same. Even don't accept him as well as we sometimes could, but he loves and accepts us all the same and cares that we try. Read Missionary work and the Atonement by Elder Jeffery R. Holland please. Salvation is not a cheap experience. :)

3. We ate spam this week that we found in our appartment from the sister that I replaced. (Once again for you dad.) It was my comps first time. She found it to be quite the adventure and was surprised by how much she liked it haha
