We had lunch with a guy named Ebi this week. He wanted to go out to lunch together, and so we went with him. As we were walking towards lunch, he told us he had already made a reservation for where we were going to eat. Yeah, a reservation. We went into this really expensive looking hotel, and into an even more expensive looking restaurant. He said, "We have the buffet, so go for it." And we did. At the end of the meal and our conversation, he wouldn't let us pay for it or anything. We didn't see the receipt, but I can guess that it was a nice little bundle. I now know what it's like to eat like a rich person. *\(^o^)/*
We're working with a guy named Tou right now. He moved here from China about 3 years ago, and he speaks pretty good Japanese. What's really nice is that there is a recent convert in the ward who got baptized about 3 months ago who is fluent in Chinese, Japanese, and English, so he is helping us out a ton. But! Tou is literally the best. He pulled an all nighter so he could read the pamphlets we gave him and this Book of Mormon. That night, as it was getting early late, he said that he just felt like he needed to pray. So, he prayed. And he said that the indescribable feeling came to his heart. He said it felt like there was nothing else there except for God and himself. In that moment, he felt close to God, and it left him with the biggest feeling of peace. God loves all of His children. Turn to Him in prayer, and He will bless you and love you with the tenderness of loving parent. I know that He loves you all.
I hope you all have a great week, and I hope you know I love you all! Thank you for all your support and love, you're the best! Love you!
