Hump Day!‏

So I don't have much to say this week! But transfers are on Thursday as is my halfway mark! It is so bizarre! I do not feel like I have been out for 9 months! But what an amazing 9 months it has been. I
feel so blessed to have been able to come to this land, meet these amazingly kind people, see so many miracles and come to know my Savior and Father in Heaven!

Masae San got baptized!‏

So. I am currently emailing from the new iPad i received! Wahoo. It is pretty fun! They will really help the work move forward I think! Saturday was Masae San's baptism! It was such a good day! I remember when I first met her I thought she was this crazy old lady. Then when we started teaching her I was convinced she had no interest. Then one day she asked when she could get baptized! She is amazing. The atonement is amazing. I have seen her change since we started teaching her and it is like nothing I can explain! I love her so much! It is an overwhelming love! This work is hard, but it is soooo worth it! Also drank some Sakura (cherry blossom) tea. Then ate the flowers. Ya didn't know that was a thing. I am now officially Japanese.  This is Masae San and Yasuda Shimai. She is basically our grandma. I love them to death!

He is not here. He is Risen.‏

Happy Easter everyone!

I really can`t believe another week has past! Time is such a precious thing!

This week was full of miracles of course, but also full of finding. Barr Shimai and I knock on far too many doors.

But, we had two great lessons with Masae San who has her baptism interview on tuesday! We also had a really awesome lesson with Tanaka San who also has a baptism date. He has crazy good questions that I wouldn`t even be able to answer in English! He is the definition of a golden investigator. Unfortunatley, he did not come to church yesterday!

We also got to watch the General Women`s Broadcast. It was awesome! All about families. I loved it, and I love my family!!! I am so excited to watch General Conference next week.

We also get iPads on the 17th! Our Zone Leaders already have theirs and keep flaunting them in our face. Whatever we will flaunt our baptism. Just kidding that was an awful joke.

Anyway, that is basically it! I hope you all had a really good Easter. If you haven`t already you should watch the easter video!!! It is called He is Risen and like 2 minutes long, and SO GOOD! I am so thankful for my Savior, for His perfect life, Atonement, and Resurrection. I am thankful for the opportunity I have to testify of Him everyday.

Happy Easter!

Love Kempner Shimai
