Konnichiwa kazoku!

Hey fam! we don't have too much time today but I wanted to send you a quick e-mail letting you know I am fine haha, these last few days have been super busy and we have been running well riding all over the place! we hardly have anytime to even study! but we are having lots of fun while we work. So we visited an oyasumi kyokaiin(less active member) who hadn't been to church in about 8 years, because she had lost her husband and it was kind of complicated, but we had a nice visit, we shared a simple message and she gave us some treats as we left, then yesterday at church she came!!! we were standing by the door and she walked in, we were so surprised! one of the members (Sister Yamada) saw her and came running over with tears in her eyes and she sat and cried with her for about 5 mins. and she basically just went around talking to all the people that she hadnt seen for a very long time. It was a wonderful miracle to witness and I am very glad to have been able to participate. Our investigators have been progressing and they have been reading and praying, I am hoping the Spirit is with them always. Thank you again for the snacks! haha they were super good, and Ikeda Choro only liked about half of them, same with the members who tried them haha! oh speaking of Ikeda Choro, he was telling me that he went to Figi before the mission and he met a lot of the missionaries there, maybe Tanner will know some of them? their names were Elder Finch, Elder Brown, Elder Fisher, Elder Matthew. and the couple missionaries Elder and Sister Borthwell. so check with him and get back to me, onigaishimasu! (please) haha. I hope things have been going well, it is starting to become the rainy season here in Japan which means it rains about everyother day and tomorrow there is supposed to be a really big sorm with lots of rain, when the members were telling me about it, they first asked if it had rained while I had been here, I told them of course, and they said no "honto ame" which means literally "real rain" haha and they were telling me tomorrow it is going to really rain! so I am pretty excited for that!                       haha anyway, lots of love! talk to you next week! -Jones Choro
