We had a baptism this week! Our friend Shintaro San got baptized Sunday morning before church. It was great! Shintaro has a pretty miraculous conversion story, of how he first came to meet the missionaries until he started taking lessons and then until his baptism. I'm so glad that I got to be a part of that experience and see him grow!
We had splits with the Assistants! It was way great, we worked so hard and saw a ton of miracles. I was really tired by the end of the day, which just means that it was a great day.
We went to the temple! I got to do the whole session in Japanese this week for the first time. It was such a special experience. I absolutely love the temple and the blessings that it brings. I can't think of any better place to try and draw closer to a God, to learn who He is, and to try and become like Him and His Son. I am so grateful that I have had the chance to attend the temple so frequently on my mission. Never take a chance to attend the House of the Lord for granted. Love every chance you get!
I love you all! I know this message is short, but I'm doing well! This has been a great week. I'm happy, and I am so grateful for all your prayers and support. Have a great week! Also, shout out to my mom! She had a birthday, so if you see her, give her a hug for me!
