Following the Spirit

The district is working more and more in unity.  The sisters here are particularly amazing.  Each one of them is strong, and willing to work hard.  I feel blessed to have this opportunity to learn from them all.

Relations with the branch are also improving.  We had the opportunity from the Brand President to, rather suddenly, do a mogi (role-play) in front of all the member about how to better help us when we mogi with them.  After our demonstration we had a good discussion going on with the members where they got to ask and have us answer questions as well as express their ideas.  They wanted so badly to learn and help that the meeting went 20 minutes after the end of church. -(thought I'm unsure if that's good or bad.)

As for myself, this week I had an amazing experience with following the Spirit.

We were talking with an English teacher, Justin, at the Eki (train station), when I saw a group of people walk out from the station.  A thought warm, soft, and clear entered my mind: "One of those people needs you." The conversation with Justin had ended, and I told my companion that we had to follow that group of people.  They were walking down the stairs to go to the bus station on the lower part of the Eki.  I stared at the group; all waiting in line to get on a bus to Tokyo.  The bus' doors opened, and people from the line started filing on.  I scanned the people, and as I looked towards one girl, I knew that it was her that I was supposed to talk to.  There was no time to do anything besides  give her an English flyer with our number on it and an 'Iam Mormon' card.  I told her that it was important, and she smiled and sid she'd look at it.

Who knows if it'll amount to anything, but I find comfort and peace in the fact that I know I did exactly what my Father in Heaven wanted me to do.

I love this mission; I love this people; and I love the Lord.
