Hey everyone!
There have been some crazy miracles happening here in Tama! I'll give you a quick update on M San. She's so prepared, I can hardly believe it. We've met with her a couple of times this week. We were able to teach her the Plan of Salvation. She felt so much hope and peace because of the power of the Atonement. She said she had a rough past, so when we talked about the atonement she felt so much love because Christ suffered for everything that she and the rest of us have done. We also showed her the new "Because He Lives" (the Easter campaign for the church) video that just came out. I'm sure you've probably seen it already, but if you haven't, watch it! It's amazing!! It had M San almost in tears, and then I was almost in tears, too! M San is progressing really well. She's making friends with Tama ward members, she's attended church weekly since we met her, she reads the Book of Mormon multiple times a day and loves everything about it, and she talks to Heavenly Father in her prayers as if He's right next to her. She's received multiple answers to her prayers, and she told us that she knows is church is true. She was also able to attend a baptismal service for another man that got baptized into Tama Ward (an adorable 83-year-old man) and had a huge defining moment there. She decided for sure that she wanted to be baptized, too, this week. Her baptism is scheduled for Saturday. We haven't taught her everything yet, and this week is going to be super busy getting her ready for it, but she has a 200% desire to be baptized and endure to the end. She's amazing! The Lord has definitely prepared her! Every time we meet with her, our jaws drop to the floor because of how prepared she is. Keep praying for her that we will be able to prepare everything for her baptism, as well as teach her all the doctrine so that she can be baptized on April 4 and confirmed on Easter. We are way excited for her!! I can't write it very well because I'm just too excited for her!
We had another miracle happen just yesterday. First, here is some background information. There has been a 15-year-old girl that the sisters in Machida have been working with, but she actually lives in Tama, so we've recently gotten her records. She has a super strong desire to be baptized, but her parents are against her joining the church. This has been going on for about a year. Fast forward to yesterday. Last night we got a call from the Elders saying that they received a referral from church headquarters, so they went and visited them. When they went, the family was very accepting of the Gospel, and the Elders taught them the Restoration. The father and the mother seemed interested in the message and told them the missionaries could come back. That family is the above girl's family. This girl has been praying for a year that her parents would be acceptive of the Gospel, and sent for the missionaries to come visit. When they did, the Lord answered her prayers and her parents listened to the message. They gave the family to us, and we are going to visit them tonight. That was a huge miracle! Heavenly Father truly answers prayers. Sometimes it take times, but He does. We are way excited to go visit them!
That's about it for this week. The Sakuras are starting to bloom! They look way pretty! I'll send you some pictures! Also, for P-Day we went with the sisters in our zone and some of the Tama Young Women to go hike a famous mountain named Takao. I actually hiked it ago a year ago! too, so this was my second time. It was way fun! Great week! I hope you all have a happy Easter! Love you all! Talk to you next week!
