Hey everyone!
It's a great time to be
down on the island of Amami! We were scheduled
to have another typhoon
come through, and hit us over Sunday. Knowing
this, we started to
worry about what effect it would have on our day,
on church, and,
especially after we had Kumamoto promise he would come
to church, but only if
it was sunny. So in the middle of all this, we
prayed for the weather
to lighten up, and while it was windy, there
was scarcely a cloud in
the sky all day, and we were able to continue
with the Lords work, and
see even more miracles.
Even with the weather
going crazy, with sun, rain, and winds, Elder
Zeller and I have been
able to meet a lot of the amazing people on the
island. One example of
this was over the weekend, where we were
walking down the road,
and someone calls out to us. As we turn around,
there were two girls,
speaking to us in English. From that, I learned
that there is an
international school on Amami, for learning Japanese!
Our two friends were
both from Vietnam, and will be here for a year,
but to run into them is
just one of the random miracles of the Lord.
Our other big miracle is
the growth of Shoko, one of our investigators
that we have had trouble
getting in contact with recently. This past
week, even in the winds
and stormy weather, she was able to come to
church. And not even
that, but she has been reading from the Book of
Mormon from the time we
gave it to her! It reminds me of the power of
the Book of Mormon, and
the fact that you can grow and learn by
reading and pondering
it. The truths within help us to cleanse and
prepare ourselves,
putting on Gods armor to guide and protect us.
Lastly, next week we
will be going up to Fukuoka for a Mission
Conference, so we won't
be emailing next week on Monday, but I should
be able to keep everyone
updated next Wednesday. I love you all, and
pray for your health and
safety.
Love you all,
Elder Woodhouse
