Week 101: July 8, 2018 - Plans and Rain

Hey everyone!

So for those who haven't heard, apparently Japan has been under a
severe rainstorm, with floods and landslides all around the country.
To be honest, we are all doing fine, and I didn't realize it was that
bad, but in case anyone was wondering about the weather, it's sunny
now!

We had a fairly good week, with the aforementioned rain putting a
damper on most people's desire to stop on the street, but still saw a
lot of miracles and had good conversations with everyone. One person
that sticks out is an investigator we are working with named Nathan.
Last month he submitted his dissertation on chiral chemistry, which
has freed up time for him to meet before his thesis defense this
month. So far we have discussed the restoration, and the Plan of
Salvation, and the reason I mention it is because none of this seems
new to him. He has taken everything in stride, and interwoven it into
his life, because the words of God are speaking through us to his
soul. It's helped me to realize how much power we hold, and what He
has entrusted us as missionaries to share. And, how much this does
mean in the lives of everyone we talk to?

Our other exciting news this week was planning for the Meet the
Presidents meeting tomorrow. Everyone is really excited to meet Mack
Kaicho, and we have the opportunity of helping the missionaries in the
zone to learn through him the will of the Lord. So lots of time spent
in prayer, planning, and reconfirming what people need to be taught.
Amazing opportunities!

Last note, horse meat is famous in Kumamoto, so of course we got some
ramen with it last week.

Lots of love!
Elder Woodhouse
