24 June 2018

Today we are going to Enoshima. Haha, today it’s just going to be way too hot.

In response to my comment that he has more fun than last time and takes more pictures:

That’s because the people I was with at the time. We just wasted a ton of time. But when I was in Fujisawa I went down there all the time.

Now we are on the 2 hour train to get there though.  Oops... I already forgot to get you guys a picture of Tōkyō from afar. The train line I was just on usually has a great view of Tokyo’s horizon.

So this week Elder Yamashita came and gave a fantastic boost to our
work. He was super genki. He talked a lot of about baptism including
telling the story of a Sister missionary in the Kobe area who set a
goal to get 752 baptisms on her mission. After three transfers she
still had no baptisms. So she and her companion set a new goal. 500
and odd baptisms. She did not reach her goal. By the end of her
mission, over 300 people she had taught, received baptism. There was
almost never a week that she didn’t have more than three investigators
being baptized. Her investigators continuously brought their friends
to be taught so she rarely had to go out and find. Many of her lessons
were group lessons. She was truly like the sons of Mosiah, baptizing
literally hundreds of converts. It was an inspiring conference and we
are all much more focused now. Needless to say, we learned a lot about
the power of faith. Hmm.. what else did I learn...
