Junichi kyoudais baptism!

Some high school girls they met :-)

Hello everyone!

The rainy season has officially begun... And it's all nice and humid
again and the cherry on top is the mosquitos are back and still love
my blood. It's a wonderful life as a missionary! Haha no but it is
really fun. I like wearing my rain pants!

But anyways, this will be a little short but this week was good! I
just love the children here. We went to go visit a member who lives in
a big apartment complex but the weren't home. But a little girl was
coming home from school and started asking us questions. We told her
who we were and where we were from and she told us she wanted us to
meet her mom. We walked with her to her house but her mom was asleep
so she begged us to please come back another time. I had just found a
four leaf clover a few minutes before that so I gave it to her and
said we'd come back and visit. Then as we were getting back on our
bikes, two more girls came out and started talking to us and wanted us
to play. We said we had to go but we'd come back another time. One of
them kept saying how she had seen us before but she couldn't remember
where. It was such a neat experience seeing how pure little children
are.

A few days later, we went housing met this mom and little girl but she
wasn't interested. We walked down stairs and the little girl, Mari (7
years old) came out after us and started asking us questions. She told
us she wanted us to meet her friend who live a few doors down. She ran
to the door and calls after Ayumi and she was so surprised to see us.
Ayumi is 12 and she has interest in everything we had to say! She's
been to church before and loves learning about Christ. We asked if we
could come back again and she said of course anytime and we set an
appointment for last night but sadly she wasn't home but we will try
again this week! Mari was also telling us to come back and see her
again.

I definitely have come to understand the scripture, "For the natural
man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will
be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy
Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through
the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive,
meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things
which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth
submit to his father." Children are so pure and innocent and are
humble. We need to be as they are and follow as the scripture says and
we will be so blessed.

I love you all so much! Thank you for everything!

Love, レイシー姉妹
