I am glad that everyone is doing well and thank you for the e-mails and videos and what not. I liked them. :D
So this week has been one filled with love for the people of Japan. Last Wednesday before we went to Eikaiwa we went back to the apartment to make some quick dinner and for a reason that I didn't even understand I was feeling down and so I did the only thing that I did know how to do. Pray.
The prayer I uttered I feel really mirrored Enos's prayer. I prayed for forgiveness from so many things asking to feel the Savior's love. I then started telling the Lord about my concerns. Before our plate was really full and I was probably making it bigger then needed but I still felt overwhelmed and stressed about the amount of work we needed to. I was thinking about the members, investigators that we do have and the people we still need to find. I was overwhelmed with the amount of love I had for these people and pleaded with the Lord to bless them. To bless the members to recognize their responsibility as members to share the gospel and to have the courage to share it. To bless the investigators that they would accept the gospel into their lives more and decided to make the decision to be baptized and also for the people in general. The Japanese people are already so kind and wonderful and if they had the gospel in their lives they would be the best people. I love them so much and my heart is slowly starting to break as I am getting ready to say goodbye to them. And what is really funny, my love for them grows even more as I spend time with the members in the military branch. This place and these people have become my home and I want to do so much more for them than I am already doing. My weaknesses and my limitations get in the way and I am only one person. But the Lord has spoken words of comfort to me and I know that He is watching over these people and will bless them.
This opportunity that I have had to sere in Japan is the best decision in my life and the best moment of my life. I have come so close to the Savior and have learned so much about myself. This has been the greatest blessing in my life thus far and nothing will come close to matching it. I am grateful for the challenges that I have to go through and will still go through during these last few weeks. I know the Lord will be my support and will help in every step of the way.
Love,
kenze
