W12: 🏎 🏁 Toll Free Access 24/7

I failed to mention I started driving and so that was a first for me.. driving on the left side of the road and having everything being backwards is quite interesting.. A bit of a "slower" week with a TON of meetings as some may say but we aren't letting discouragement get us down we have some really amazing potentials!! We also have our friend on date for baptism.. We also finally got the address for our new friend Asijiro!! We went to see him yesterday and oh boy it was so awesome. We get there and his mom who we've never met invites us in we get to know her and the family. We played games with the kids. They have all their cousins living with them to so there was about 15 kids, it was so fun!! Asi is the only one in his home that is interested in the gospel. They served us dinner and before we could even start he asked if we could bless the food. Even though that is something small it made me realize the things he is learning. Also at the end of the night we we leaving and he reminded us to say a prayer. So we started saying a prayer, the other kids and family were still making lots of noise. But as we started saying the prayer everyone got quit! They were all listening! The spirit was there and I'm so excited to go back!! 😊 (may have been taken from comps email but she said it better) Highlights: - Guy we met out and about got us icecream wow he was nice - Felt to go talk to this boi my brothers age and he's super sweet - Comp study on the beach!! - having our friend come to church (first for me!!!) - Zone Con lunch.. never thought I'd see strawberries again.. just wow - Met our friends family and they have a TON!

Scripture 2 Nephi 26:30 "Wherefore, the Lord God hath given a commandment that all men should have charity, which charity is love. And except they should have charity they were nothing." AMAZING quote: "I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies. …" Thought.. We saw this sign about this farm and it caught my eye because it's the only time I've seen the word covenant just out in the open.. (pic in gphotos). In it the Mangatoa farm is protected by Queen Elisabeth National Trust Covenant but I just think it's such an incredible thing that we are protected by the covenants we make with Jesus Christ. love you all!!
