Hello Friends and Family!

I hope you are all doing great. I'm doing well here in Sasebo. This week was a very busy one indeed. We had a lot of lessons set up this week. Way more than normal. But, unfortunately about 4 of our lessons were cancelled by our investigators. It is always tough to have no-shows and cancellations. Because I am so excited for them to be able to hear the Gospel and then it goes away. But, all missionaries experience it. It was just hard that it happened so much this week. But other than that this week was great. We had some great meal appointments with members this week. We were able to go the Tateishi's house and teach our investigator, Teruka. That was great. Then on Saturday, we went to the Barnhill's to eat. Luckily, we invited an kind-of investigator named Judy. She invited 3 other friends! So, we were able to teach 4 non-members the message of the Restoration with the Barnhills. The Barnhills are an amazing family. So, it all went so great. So that was a great day. Also, on Friday, the Zone leader and his companion to do companion exchanges with us so we could learn from the Zone Leader. It was a great experience. Elder Yamashita is a great missionary. Then this Sunday, we ended up having 3 investigators come to church! Church is the place they need to be. The spirit is always so strong when the members of the church gather together. And the spirit is what softens hearts to the gospel. The spirit is so incredibly important. It is so important that we check and make sure the spirit is leading our everday lives. Listening to the Spirit leads to true Happiness. That is something I know. Well I love you all, but I have to head out. My companion is waiting on me. Everybody stay safe and remember to rely on your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
