The Endo Family, Typhoon Book of Mormon Challenge and DODGEBALL



Just a little overview of what has happened the past couple weeks!

THE ENDO FAMILY
We found a wonderful family who we were able to meet two times. The mother is an angel and he has the two cutest little boys. She worked with someone who was LDS back in her college days and was familiar with our teachings. We taught them a lesson on families and gave them a copy of "The Family Proclamation". She said she has alot of respect for our teachings and would be interested in continue learning more!

In other news, we had a typhoon! Don't worry it wasn't a bad one, but it made streeting a bit exciting.

THE TYPHOON BOOK OF MORMON CHALLENGE
Every week we make a goal to pass out a certain number of Book of Mormons. It was the last day of the week and there was a huge typhoon predicted to hit. Most folks were inside their homes preparing for the oncoming storm. With a couple hours remaining and two BOMs to pass out, we frantically started knocking on doors. People thought we were crazy and told us we needed to head home NOW. As the winds started to pick up, we decided our only other option was streeting. We picked the busiest street near our home and began searching for our lucky Book of Mormon recipients. We passed out the first one pretty quickly, but the second one became a challenge. People were dodging us, racing to get home as soon as possible. We walked the same street for two hours getting rejection after rejection. Then off in the distance we saw two young high school-aged boys. They thought we were crazy, but listened to our message and one of them accepted our Book of Mormon! Miracles!

Speaking of miracles, President Sekiguchi organized another party for all us missionaries.

MISSION-WIDE PARTY ROUND 4
We had an intense game of dodge ball - North against the South (Northern missionaries won obviously). Other than getting smacked in the face really hard, it was a great time! I also got to play racquet ball and tennis with Ishikawa Shimai so that was fun.

All the sisters!

MOM'S BIRTHDAY
Shout out to mom for having a birthday this week on the 5th! Be sure to congratulate her via Facebook, line or messenger. She loves the attention ;).

So much love for you all!
