"Boom, you looking for this?"
Starting with Monday, we played ping pong for like the whole day... We'll, I guess, that's not entirely true... We did play sting pong for like an hour. Pretty fun, and we just listened to music the whole time. Overall, pretty solid P day
Tuesday, we had a last-minute DCM and then spent the rest of the day visiting members and knocking doors.
Wednesday we had a lesson with Mima and it was so great! We finished teaching about all the commandments, and he is SO EXCITED TO GET BAPTIZED! It's so cool to see his excitement grow with each passing day! Every time we talk with him, he always relates whatever we are talking about to baptism and how excited he is.
Friday, we had a lesson with our friend Manami, who is in Canada right now! She's there for about a month to study abroad and it was so cool to talk with her! We ended the day with ping pong and usual, and it was such a fun day!
Saturday, we had eikaiwa, and like 25 people came! It was so great to see everyone, and after eikaiwa, we played ping pong and just had a good time with everyone! We also had this chick that was definitely not there for English... She was pretty in love with my comp, and it was funny to watch... She kept asking about if we could go on dates and was VERY sad when we said no. Before she left, she asked me comp if she could hug him and I was dying in the corner... Funny stuff
Sunday, we had four of our friends come to church! It's so much fun when all of our friends come and they are all becoming so close. Today, Mima also told the entire elders quorum that he was getting baptized and everyone was extatic! Lots of clapping, cheering, and congratulations followed his announcement... I can not wait to see this guy get baptized. It's gonna be such a good day.
Spiritual Thought:
1 Nephi 10:17-19
And it came to pass after I, Nephi, having heard all the words of my father, concerning the things which he saw in a vision, and also the things which he spake by the power of the Holy Ghost, which power he received by faith on the Son of God—and the Son of God was the Messiah who should come—I, Nephi, was desirous also that I might see, and hear, and know of these things, by the power of the Holy Ghost, which is the gift of God unto all those who diligently seek him, as well in times of old as in the time that he should manifest himself unto the children of men.
18 For he is the same yesterday, today, and forever; and the way is prepared for all men from the foundation of the world, if it so be that they repent and come unto him.
19 For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost, as well in these times as in times of old, and as well in times of old as in times to come; wherefore, the course of the Lord is one eternal round.
"Those who truly repent receive the Spirit of Christ and are baptized into this Church unto the remission of their sins. Hands are laid upon their heads, and through the priesthood of God they receive the Holy Ghost. It is “the gift of God unto all those who diligently seek him.” As Elder Parley P. Pratt characterized it, the gift of the Holy Ghost is, “as it were, … joy to the heart, [and] light to the eyes.” The Holy Ghost is that Comforter promised by the Savior before He was crucified. The Holy Ghost gives worthy Saints both spiritual guidance and protection. It increases our knowledge and our understanding of “all things.” This is of immense value at a time when spiritual blindness is increasing."
–James E. Faust
