Fun Week

So this week was kind of crazy, but a ton of fun!

We had a lesson with Ling at the Takasu church (in Hiroshima). We don't have a baptismal font here in Yasufuruichi because it's not actually a church building. So we took her to the church where she's going to get baptized. We couldn't show her the actual baptismal font (long story) but she really liked the church. Then we did a lesson with her while we were there. It was so good! She is so amazing! I can't even believe how prepared she is. I know I say that like every single week, but it's true! So we have one more lesson and then the baptismal interview before her baptism on Saturday. We're super excited! We went over the interview questions with her! She is doing so good! She was able to come to church for 30 minutes yesterday, even though she had work. But she came so she can be baptized! So we're super excited for her! And she's way excited to get baptized. She really wants to. So that's neat.
 
We also had 2 days of junkai (meeting & working with other sisters & training) in Iwakuni on Friday and Saturday. It was really good. The sisters there are great! We got to go to a birthday party on the military base! It was super fun! There are a bunch of LDS families that live on base there in Iwakuni, so we had a little kid birthday party with them. What a bunch of adorable little families! They were the cutest! And we ate American food! That was fun! It's been a long time! It was good though. Iwakuni is a great place! Those sisters are great too.
 
Other than that, we're just trying to work really hard. It's kinda tough to keep your area up when you're gone a lot, but we're doing it! Definitely a blessing from the Lord! 

It's been rainy still lately. Lots of typhoons I guess! But it's nice that it's not quite so hot! 
We're doing great! I LOVE Kuchar Shimai! We're having a blast. She's the best. Really. It's fun being able to be out here doing all this with one of my favorite people. So many blessings! 
 
Missions are the best!!! I'm loving every minute! 
 
Have a great week!
