Hey Friends and Family!

How is everyone? We are doing great here in Fukuoka. This week we saw a ton of awesome miracles. We had stake conference on Sunday and 4 investigators came! Funakoshi san came again this week. Also, Goto, Chosho, and yuki all came to stake conference. On Saturday, we met with Yuki. He is about to graduate highschool and is a punk haha. He doesn't really like to listen to his parents or anything. But he listens to us a smidgen more haha. His mom was baptized a few months ago. So, we with met him and talked to him about what is important to him. We want him to have more purpose in life and he said he wanted to start heading a good direction in life. We told him that the gospel of Jesus Christ was the right direction and we set a baptismal date with him for April 9th! He said he would try his best so we are way excited to work with him and help him change. Then on Sunday, we met with Chosho san and taught him about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and challenged him to be baptized on the 26th of February! He said yes! He was really excited about it. He has such a pure and willing heart. After that he said, "what do I need to do?" and we said keep the commandments. He asked right then for us to tell him all of the commandments. So we did and he accepted all of them. Some surprised him, but he said,"It's okay I will do it to be happy." He has soooo much faith. We are so excited to continue sharing the gospel with him. Faith is what we need to obey the commandments.Then we taught Goto san who used to have a baptismal date, but his health is really bad and he was worried about going under the water. But we told him that if we work on Faith and prepare that it will not be a problem. So we set a baptismal date for April 4th! It is his birthday. Some bummer news is that Lee san's baptismal date will need to be moved. He is just not quite ready. Please pray that he will be able to put God first and trust in Him. I love the work here sooo much. The Lord is blessing us so greatly. I know that the Lord is leading this work. I know that the Leaders of this church have been called of God. The Prophet's words are scripture. This church is guided by revelation. I know that Christ is at the head of this church and is doing everything he can and has done everything that we might gain salvation. I love you all so much and wish the best for you. Rely on the Lord and everything will work out!
