Aaron's letter 1-11-10

THE WEEKLY:
Hey Family!!
Well this week I have a little more time to talk because I didn't have very many emails and am on a little later. Well this week has been awesome already and I have come to feel and learn tons of things!
Sunday we went to the other ward of Nonami and our investigator also attended. His name is Tomokazu Mori and now has a date of Feb. 14 for baptism!! He is 22 and learned about the church when he homestayed in Utah 5 years ago. Long story short the missionaries about 3 months ago recontacted him, he became golden and with a testimony, and now we are working together with him to get him ready for the 14th! He has no problem whatsoever except for wanting his parents permission and having a hard time talking about this stuff. He is way awesome and we are praying that it will all work out!
Then after church another investigator came and we had a lesson with her and an awesome member sister. This member sister was really touched by the spirit and started shaking all intense and it was an experience I'll never forget. Kind of shocked my companion and me. But in the end the investigator and her ended up being the same type of person spiritually so it turned out well!!
Then today, even though it was Pday, we went out with english class students and our awesome ward missionary sister for tacos and then over to one of their houses. During this whole time I was really wanting a way to bring up the gospel so I could begin a lesson. Then, of course, God opened up a way.
In the car on the way to Motoya's house I was able to bring up gospel convo. and later in the house more came up! The member we had too has an amazing testimony and the experience turned into quite the awesome one!!
So, all in all, I have come to realize that the Lord really does guide us in our righteous desires. All of the things I have really wanted lately, more lessons or an opportunity to teach..., have been granted. I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who watches out for us and grants unto us graciously.This church is the best church ever and just so happens to be the true one too!!
I hope all of you as well are able to feel this often as well as my love and appreciation for each of you!!
