On Wednesday (my
last day in Iwakuni) Sister J. and I shared Mosiah 2:17 with the member who has
helped us with our bikes.
“And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn
wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings
ye are only in the service of your God.”
It made him very
happy.
We went from
door-to-door by where he lived a bit then biked over to the store to get some
things from the bakery we’ve been wanting to try, for lunch. We ate lunch as we waited for two girls we
made an appointment with the other day. They did not come, but we talked to
people while waiting.
We then talked to
some more people as we waited for anther set of girls with whom we made an
appointment with last Thursday. They did not come but while waiting we were
able to talk to a man who approached us. He committed to read the Book of
Mormon. We also got to talk to a member we saw while we were waiting. Sister J.
and I talked to a boy from Britain. We gave him a Book of Mormon and he
committed to read it. We gave him an English one, though he was willing to read
the Japanese one J. He told
his friend something like, “this is God’s guidance that we were able to meet
with these missionaries.”
It was a great day.
I am going to miss
Iwakuni. But now Taniyama is my home and focus.
