\nWeek Highlights:<\/b> \n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n+ 3 friends who usually don’t go pulled up to church! Plus my boy \u6696\u5144\u5f1f pulled up\ud83e\udd29\ud83e\udd29 We been visiting him and giving him brownies. His ADHD medicine is lowkey killing him though, pray for my boy\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n+ Anthony is sooooo close to baptism, please pray for my boy. \ud83d\ude4f\ud83d\ude4f He wanted us to teach him about the Holy Spirit earlier this week and how to feel it, so we were like bet, let’s do it Saturday! When we finally started the lesson, I felt prompted to simply ask if he had felt the Holy Ghost before. A really simple question, and he said yeah, I actually did this morning. What the!!! \u5947\u8de1 mode 9000!!\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25 He’s still turning down a baptism date but lowkey with him the date will probably be set the week before he wants to be baptized which is super annoying but \u3057\u3087\u3046\u304c\u306a\u3044\ud83d\ude2a\ud83d\ude2a\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n+ Finished teaching Leon all the missionary lessons, last one was a vibe (he already knew all about temples so we were just vibing during the lesson)\ud83d\ude04his baptism date is on the 14th of April\ud83d\ude01\ud83d\ude01Pray for my boy Leon!!!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n+ Little Momo (there’s two Momos), this little 13 year old Chinese girl walked up to us at church and said “\u30d0\u30d7\u30c6\u30b9\u30de\u3092\u53d7\u3051\u305f\u3044\uff01” which was so \u3073\u3063\u304f\u308a \ud83d\ude05\ud83d\ude05 She told us she wanted to be baptized which we’d never even taught her outside of eikaiwa so that was chill I guess. We’re gonna teach her with her parents from now on, parents were super chill about it\ud83d\ude01\ud83d\ude01\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n+ We had like two super \u91d1\u4eba referrals this week which were AWESOME!! \ud83d\ude32\ud83d\ude32One was literally so amazing that we invited her to baptism without even formally teaching her. \ud83d\ude31\ud83d\ude31That’s unheard of in Japan, haha. She said she wanted to learn a lot more and would be willing to meet weekly for lessons. God’s working!\ud83d\udc12\ud83d\udc12\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n+ Last P Day I celebrated my birthday with my friends Promise, who is from Nigeria, and Asaumi and Ayu, who are from Japan. It was super fun!!\ud83d\ude06\ud83d\ude06 + Finished studying beginner grammar (from A Dictionary of Japanese Grammar) in Japanese, my Japanese is slowly but surely getting there \ud83d\udc0c\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n – My comp lost his voice this week so it was kinda silly streeting with him (we taught like 9+ lessons this week too, those were lowkey really fun to teach though), lowkey I’m still really chopped at streeting so it was an L but I needed to do it\ud83d\udc80\ud83d\udc80\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\nAnyways if anyone has any advice for not being so chopped at streeting in Japan hmu? ahahaha, Osaka is so busy regardless so it’s okay that I’m terrible\ud83d\ude12
