I can't believe I'm almost 7 months in the mission already! Seems just like yesterday I was a brand new missionary learning how to ride a bike in a dress and cluelessly following my trainer around Yamagata!

This week we had a finding blitz where 10 of us missionaries
gathered in a newly opened area (Towada, about an hour north from Hachinohe)
and dedicated an entire day to finding and creating a strong base of
investigators. We housed the heck out of that place... and put the heaven in it
;) Together, we were able to find seven new investigators!
This experience allowed me ponder something that I've always
been so grateful for since coming to Japan - working alongside some of the best
people ever. I love the Japan Sendai missionaries! Never have I worked
alongside people who are so willing to forget themselves in the service of
others and who strive to emulate Christ in every aspect of their lives.
I'm especially grateful for my companions. From my trainer
Sister Bean, who by the joined me up north and is serving as my STL (yay!), to
Sister Snow who is still working wonders in Yamagata, to my current companion
Ishikawa Shimai, who is wonderful as always.
I'm grateful for the time and place I get to serve the Lord.
For the people I've met, for the lessons I've learned. But most importantly I'm
grateful for the relationship I've developed with my Savior Jesus Christ.
He lives! I know that through, and only through Jesus
Christ, we can receive the blessings of eternal life and experience more joy
than we are able to contain. I'm grateful for the calling to share this
wonderful message with the people of Japan.
Let us all continue moving forward with faith and seek for
opportunities to share the gospel with those around us.
I wish you all the best!
Church is TRUE.
Love,
Sister Matsuura
