Fishing -- Week 59

Okay so our mission has a focus on families. So we decided on Sunday evening to go to this estate that has a park in the center. We prayed and started talking to people. We approached this one mother who was indifferent to our message about the Gospel. But when we said we taught free kids English class she was all for it. She then yelled to all the other mothers "who wants a free English class? No need to pay!" we were then swarmed with a bunch of mothers. It was so funny. We handed them fliers and moved on. Then the spirit whispered go ahead and don't turn when we ran into this girl who had just stood up and was heading home. We sat back down with her and shared the restoration. She was super sweet and willing to meet again.

Also this week we found ourselves on the pier. It was Saturday morning and so lots of fisherman. Thanks Spencer for taking me fishing and teaching me a few things. Talked to every fisherman we saw. One was so funny. He took me to see the fish he caught that morning and just talked about his love of fishing. Then he had his son with him so talked to him about Japan because he has a love for Japan. We left them with a simple invite. Next time they saw missionaries to say hello.

One more quick story. We showed up to this park. We got there earlier than planned. We prayed and started walking. We saw this cute old grandma playing basketball in the rain. Seriously probably 70s or 80s just by herself shooting hoops. Went shot with her for a few minutes and shared who we were. Exchanged numbers and moved on. So cute.

One thing I think I learned this week....or was reassured of was that God gives us trials for a reason. That he is aware of our situations and only does it for our good. We are to learn from it and it will help us in our future. But don't forget we are never alone in this journey of life. That we have a savior by our side and a Father who will reach back as we reach to him.

I love you all. Hope you have a great week. Thanks for the prayers and support.
