Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well! This week flew by. We
can now count how many months I have left on one hand. Yes. I'm
freaking out.

This week we had zone conference and it was amazing as always. The
Naganos help me every time. I learned so much but probably the thing
that stuck out to me the most is being prepared. President said the
Spirit looks through our brain and sees what we have studied and then
prompts us to use that. I never thought of that! I always figured that
if we had the Spirit with us we'd be fine and everything would work
out but it finally clicked to me that of course I need to be prepared
and study because sometimes I get so jambled in lessons or they say
something that throws the lesson off so obliviously I need the spirit
to guide but I need to make sure I'm prepared with things for the
spirit to guide me with.

I'll give you the bad news first. We have no idea where Vy has gone.
She hasn't contacted us back all week.. We're a bit worried and her
member friends said they'll let us know if they hear from her. Also,
Mayumi finally came to church again but she's not completely sure she
wants to continue the lessons... I'm not sure why. She wants to keep
coming to church and learning but my guess is maybe she was just
converted to the member she has a crush on. Sad. We'll see what we can
do. President Naganos words are just comforting me from when he said,
"the elect will do hard things" so it's helping me know that the
prepared people will make it.

On the bright side, we have 4 new investigators and they're all member
referrals!! We didn't have to do anything! We decided to try to bond
with the ward more so we went to where we teach Kodomo Eikaiwa in a
small little neighborhood and brought the bishops family and another
member family some banana muffins. They were talking to their friends
in a neighborhood park so we met some of the friends. One of the lady
asked us to tutor her daughter in English and we made an appointment
to do that. The next day Angell Shimai said she is willing to listen
to a church message as well! The members took us around to their other
friends houses and we seriously didn't have to do anything but smile
haha. The members said who we are and what we do and asked if they had
interest! だからwe have 4 new investigators! We are excited to see how
these appointments go this week! Dendo is definitely more successful
when working with members!

I love this work so much! I am learning so much and I'm sad it's
coming to a close quickly. I'm trying to stay focused and work hard.
One scripture that has kinda been my theme for the week is, "I will
not leave you comfortless; I will come to you." I love you all! I hope
you have a great and safe week! 愛しています！

Love, Sister Lacey
