Hey Family and Friends!

How is everyone doing? Genki desu ka? I'm genki! Times are awesome here in Fukuoka! We have seen so many miracles. The Lord is blessing us so much. I will share one experience we had when we were on companion exchange in a place called Chikushino. I was working with Elder Koyama for the afternoon. This transfer is his first transfer! But he is so awesome. We were out streeting and we had already been out for about 3 or 4 hours when we stopped one man. He told us,"hey I have my bible with me right now" We told him that we were missionaries and he said, "Please sit down on this bench, I want to talk with you" So we taught him about the restoration of the gospel and the Book of Mormon. As we were talking I felt prompted to talk to him about the gospel and about baptism and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. And he said ya I've thought about baptism and think I want to be baptized! Wow! We were surprised and quickly set a baptismal date for them to work towards! It was such a miracle and I know that the Lord led us to that spot for a special reason that day. And I know that the Lord prepared Miyazaki san for that day. I felt way blessed to just be there that day. Well our investigators are doing way well. Chosho san is especially doing well! He is keeping all of the commandments and he has so much faith. He prays all the time and knows that God answers his prayers. He is just so excited to follow Jesus Christ. He is just so dominately nice! Also, Lee san has a new date for baptism on the 12th of March! So we are going to have to try our best to help him get there. And everyone else is doing way good! Then, on Wednesday, this one Eikaiwa student named Mototake san has become my friend. And we shared the spiritual message on repentance and he came up afterwards and said that he appreciated the message and wants to repent! It was so amazing. I'm so excited to get working with him. I'm so excited to teach him and his wife! Everything has been so great. I'm running out of time but I just want to tell everyone that I love them so much and appreciate you all. I know that the Lord cares about each of His children.
