The Kinkakuji



May 20th, 2013
 Unfortunately, I don`t have a whole lot to be writing about this week. Not a whole lot happened....
We did meet with MM**** San. The Chinese lady who we met with once, she said she wanted to hear more but she was just always too busy to meet. Well we taught her something that President Zinke has been wanting us to teach relatively early in the teaching process. Simply it`s just our Goal-which is to return to live with God. And the two things that are keeping us from that, sin and death, and how we overcome that, which is through the atonement. And how we access the atonement is through the Gospel of Christ.

It may sound confusing but it`s in a nice little chart and is really easy to understand when you see it. Anyways. We taught that to her and she really had a problem with some parts of it. She`s Luthern, so some of her ideas about doctrine are different than ours. 

Anyways. She wasn`t super open, and then she didn`t have any more time so we couldn`t go into it more in depth. She said she wants to maybe meet sometime but she is really busy............ugh.

We also got to teach Mi*** Shimai. She is so great! In our lessons she just seems so hungry for the truth. She said when she was struggling over the past week she prayed to God and felt a very comfortable feeling come over her. She is getting and recognizing answers to her prayers which is awesome.
The only problem is that she is kind of hard to get a hold of during the week. She`ll only text/call us back when it`s convenient for her which sometimes can take up to a week.... Bummer

Other than that. The rest of the week was a lot of finding with not a whole lot of success....bummer

Sorry that`s really boring. But, ya. I really don`t have much more than that.
Well I love you all!
Love,
Dobson Shimai  

p.s. On P-Day last week we went to the Kinkakuji.  The Golden Pavillion





Weird I know, but I like red bean popsicles
