the one with Mima's interview

"Boom, you looking for this?"

Starting with Monday, we had a Ping Pong Pizza Party! We played ping pong for about 5 hoursπŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜† my comp is trying to get good so he can beat one of our friends at ping pong night πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ€£

Wednesday, we had Zone Conference!!! πŸ˜†πŸ˜† It was SO great, and we talked a lot about teaching simple, clear, and frequent lessons with our friends! We also had interviews with President and he told me I will probably be leaving Osaka at the end of this transfer... I want to stay for another one SO BAD so maybe if I put it in my weekly email enough times, he might let me stay😁😁🀣

Thursday, we started the day with a lesson with Manami! She is still doing good in Canada, and it was great to talk with her! After that, we met up with some other missionaries, and Mima had his baptismal interview! It went perfectly, and he is good to get baptized next Sunday! I LITERALLY CAN'T WAITπŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜† We also had another lesson with Ayane, and hopefully, she will want to get baptized soon!

Friday, we met up with one of our friends before ping pong night and got some okonomiyaki with him! It was super good, and then after, we all went to ping pong night together! It was a really fun day, and my comp finally beat Ayane! We have been practicing for two P days straight, so I'm glad he finally did it🀣🀣

Saturday we eikaiwa and Ping pong as usual and we had like 25 people come! It was such a fun day with everyone, and I love playing ping pong with themπŸ˜†πŸ˜†

Sunday, Mima, Kai, and Ayane all came to church! We had such a good time, and after church was over, we showed Mima the font and found some clothes that would fit him for his baptism!!! The rest of the day, we just talked with him about his baptism, and I straight up couldn't be more excited!! It's gonna be the best day of the mission..... πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

Spiritual Thought:

1 Nephi 13:37

And blessed are they who shall seek to 
bring forth my Zion at that day, for they shall have the gift and the power of the Holy Ghost; and if they endure unto the end they shall be lifted up at the last day, and shall be saved in the everlasting kingdom of the Lamb; and whoso shall publish peace, yea, tidings of great joy, how beautiful upon the mountains shall they be.

"Our Heavenly Father asks that we represent Him in the noble work of reaching out and blessing the lives of His children. He asks us to stand firm with the power of the priesthood in our hearts and souls and give the calling we have at this moment our best efforts.
Brethren, as strong as you are, you cannot and you should not lift a piano by yourself. Likewise, none of us can or should move the Lord’s work alone. But if we all stand close together in the place the Lord has appointed and lift where we stand, nothing can keep this divine work from moving upward and forward.
Brethren, may we cease to aspire and cease to retire!
May we always remember this profound lesson: that we are banner bearers of the Lord Jesus Christ, upheld by the Holy Spirit of God, faithful and true to the end, each one devoted to give our all to the cause of Zion and bound by covenant to stand close together and lift where we stand."
–Dieter F. Uchtdorf
