So probably one of my most favorite experiences happened this week. We meet this guy last week and we talked to him and he told us that there was a basketball court close by and he goes and plays all the time. This last week we went to the basketball court, but he wasn't there. Don't worry there was other people there and I asked if we could play with them and they were like yeah! We played and then afterward a lot of them were like who are you guys and what do you guys do! It was so perfect! The most perfect dendo style you could ever ask for, well for me at least. I was talking to a guy from the U.S. who lives in "Philly" and then my companion was talking to a guy from Sapporo. I taught the guy from the U.S. a lesson about God and all that and he basically believed all the same things we did. Then my companion didn't teach the guy but we are hoping to meet up with him again this week. Anyway, the U.S. guy his name is Iwasaki. He has basically lived in the U.S. his whole life but he is full Japanese. So we actually meet him again on Thursday and I taught him another lesson (all in English) basically just answering his questions and then told him about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. He said he would for sure read it. The only problem is that he went home two days ago, so I filled out the paper work and now referring him to the missionaries in Philly! One of the best experiences ever, basketball dendo, never can go wrong with that.
Next experience was yesterday. So we were suppose to have two of our investigators come to church yesterday, so we were waiting outside and they never came. I prayed three times for one of them to just come that was all I was asking for. Well guess what in the middle of sacrament meeting we get an email and it is Machida kun and he said he was here. We go out and get him and bring him into church. It was so amazing, miracles are the best. And then after church we finished teaching him all of lesson one. And we made a baptism date with him for the 31st of this month, and he said yes!! And he loves studying and just everything he is way awesome.
Then we had a talent show this week and that was so awesome. A guy named Okayama San came to it, and he came to it even when we just met him a day before it was way awesome. He was really strucked by our message because of us missionaries and why we would take 2 years out of our lives to do this. He was suppose to come to church today, but he bailed on us so that stunk! We are hopefully going to be able to meet with him this week!
Well that is about all from me I love you guys! And can't wait to talk to you in a couple hours!
Love, Elder Nielsen
