| Me and Sister Chavez |
July 22, 2013
This week was really great. Finished
up everything we needed to in Okamachi. Said bye to the members and
investigators. Love them all!
But Thursday I made it safely here
to Mikunigaoka. Me and Chavez Shimai are getting along just great! She was born
and raised in America, but her mom is from Guatemala so she speaks fluent
Spanish. She`s pretty awesome.
On Saturday we taught a lesson to
one of our investigators. Y****
San. He`s been an investigator for over a year. And honestly I don`t know why he is meeting with the missionaries. He loves meeting us, and coming to church, and he LOVES the Book of Mormon. But right now we feel like something is holding him back. He is having a hard time committing to any baptismal date. While teaching him I realized that he thinks he knows a lot of stuff because he has heard the lessons so many times. But the truth is, he has a lot things mixed up. I want to help him so bad but we don`t know what he needs.
On Sunday both me and Chavez Shimai
felt like we were going to find someone. One of the Lord`s Elect. We were
praying for a family. We REALLY want to teach a family.
So we started seeking specific
revelation on where we needed to go. We both had the same place in mind. With
the same sort of house. A tall yellow house. I got so excited because the other
families I`ve taught have all been in tall yellow houses. :)
So we go to the place we thought of.
We do all around that area. All rejections. Ugh! Well we prayed to figure out
where we needed to go from there. I had the thought to ask Chavez Shimai. I
asked her. She said we just needed to start walking towards the road. So we do
that. We stop the first girl we see and start talking with her. I told her who
we are and what that we were talking about God and the Purpose of Life. She got
this really big smile on her face, her eyes were basically sparkling and she
heard the most beautiful words I have ever heard on my mission. `Can I have you
tell me about that?!` Um...YES!!!!
Unfortunately she was late for
something and she had to leave right then but she gave us her name and phone
number and asked us to call her. She lives in the next area over, but we are
thinking we might just teach her, being Shimai and all. :)
Long story short. We went to the
house that we saw while we were praying. They didn`t want to listen to our
message. But the place that we stopped the lady was seriously 10 feet from that
house. The Lord truly does lead and guide us to be where we need to be.
I love missionary work!!
That`s about it from over here. I
love you all so muchi!
Love,
Dobson Shimai
