Helloooooo Tokyo!: Conferences, meetings, and MIRACLES

Yes, it definitely snows in Japan. ;)

Helllllllllloooooo!

Warning. I promise I actually do missionary work, not just travel around Japan hahahaha... But HEY! Coming at you live from the island of Sado, an island about 2 hours off the coast of Japan.

(Take a search on Google, 10/10 would recommend;)... and yes, I will send pics next week) This week was crazzzzzyyyy busy. One day we were in Tokyo, the next we were in Niigata again, and now we're on Sado! Being a Sister Training Leader has proved to me that I really need to travel the world more... lol. No complaints. No complaints.

Like I mentioned last week we had MLC and WOW. All I can say is that the church is so true. I was sooooo inspired. At MLC (Mission Leadership Council), we get to hear from all our leaders and get to be trained on how to help people in our own zones. I learned so much! Elder Tokuzawa from the Seventy even came and spoke! It was wayyy cool. The spirit was so strong and I left with so much more faith and desire to be better! After we got trained, as zone leaders and sister training leaders, it was our turn! We got to plan for our zone meeting and teach everyone in the Niigata zone what we had learned. Well... that means everyone came to Niigata... and because everyone lives sooo far away, we had a GIANT SLEEPOVER with all the sisters in our apartment. It was SO fun. And to make things better we get to do it again this week because we have zone conference and interviews! HOLLAAAA!

Okay, now let's just talk miracles for a second. The coooooollllleeeeesssstttt thing happened on Sunday. First things first. Let me just explain how missionary work goes down in Japan for a second. 1. Americans in Japan are kind of like celebrities. Everyone stares at you, talks about you, giggles and gets way embarrassed and shy if you talk to them, and when you do they will sometimes try to speak English to you (it's so cute I die). 2. From junior high, all Japanese students are required to take English classes. 3. People either absolutely love or hate English..... SOOOOO... One of our biggest ways to do missionary work is through English! I know I talk about Eikaiwa a lot but our mission is actually starting up an English school called Mission School. We teach all sorts of classes for all different ages. It's wayyy fun. We have to get creative and advertise and all sorts of stuff! Sometimes I think people think of missionary work as just housing... Well not in this mission! We do missionary work through all sorts of different things, the main being English!

Longggg explanation but now for the miracle. We were doing the "Free English Challenge" which is so fun. We all have little English quizzes and if the person passes they get candy! People get wayyyy excited about it, so it makes our job a blast! We saw tons of cool miracles but I'll share the coolest. Wellll... we were just finishing as this girl came running up to us! She told us that she was coming back on a bus from Fukuoka (literally the other side of Japan) when she saw us out the window. She was so interested that she went all the way home, dropped off her stuff, got back on the bus, rode allll the way back and then ran to find us... HELLO KINJIN (golden person)! She LOVES English and was sooooo excited when we told her about Mission School and when we told her we could even do personal lessons she about fell over she was so happy. THIS GIRL IS DARLING AND SO PREPARED AND AHHH I'M SO EXCITED. We have an appointment on Wednesday and I cannot wait! *insert dance party* But really, it was just so cool to see how perfect God's timing is. I really felt like a tool in the Lord's hands at that moment and it was a happiness that is just hard to describe in words. YAYYY MIRACLES!

THE CHURCH IS SOOO TRUE I'VE PRAYED ABOUT IT

Also today I hit my 8 month mark.... just realized that... BYE.

Love you allllll!
