Hey Friends and Family!

I love you all so much! I hope you have a had a good week. We had another good one this week. Our friends Yuki, Funakoshi san and her husband, Goto, and Ooki san are doing great. We were able to meet Yuki almost everyday this past week and he is doing way good. He has been praying everyday and is starting to read the Book of Mormon more. I know that his desire to know the truth will come through study and prayer. Every since he has come in touch with the Gospel, one thing that has happened to him is that he has really started to grow up. He acts a lot different than he used to. Of course, he still has a ways to go just like we all do, but it has brought a change in him. It is way awesome to see and I feel really blessed that I can see it. Funakoshi san is doing way good. She is really recognizing that soon she will need to decide the direction to go with her life. To get baptized and follow Jesus Christ or go another path. I know she will get her answer. She is still waiting for her husband to accept the gospel. But, the good thing is that he is doing well. He has stopped drinking coffee and is working on the other parts of the word of wisdom. He has shown a ton of faith so far. We had an awesome experience with Goto san this week. One evening we just felt like we should go visit him. And when we went there he was standing outside of his apartment complex. He has dropped his key somewhere when he went out. We helped him search for it but couldn't find it, so we were able to get in touch with his landlord and eventually get it all sorted out. We were outside with him for almost 3 hours. And you have to remember that he is in his 60s and has parkinson's disease. It was a crazy experience. But, his faith was strengthened because we came and helped him. It was awesome. The Lord is always trying his best to tell us through the Spirit what we should do. We just have to listen. I know the Lord lives and he wants us to be happy and wants us to have the opportunity to help others. I Love you all so much and will talk to you next week!
