Sunday
was a great day in my new area!
Each
time I met someone I would write their name down in my planner. And when I saw
them again I would try to guess their name correctly. If I could not remember I
would ask them to say their name again.
This
led to a possible service opportunity.
I
greeted a man before church. At the end of church I saw him and greeted him by
name. This got us talking from his time in America and he asked me what my
favorite Japanese food was and prepared to write it down. When I said お好み焼き
(Japanese pancake) he wrote it down happily. Apparently his wife is famous for
her お好み焼き.
He offered for my companion and I to come over and have dinner and a lesson
with some one we are teaching.
When
I asked how we could serve him. He would be happy if we could come over and
share a message about family. He said he would talk to his wife and call
us to set up a time that we can come over.
