We Love The Old Person Raia!

Elder Raia sounds really happy and excited about the work! He is so funny sometimes!

"Hey Hey Hey! Hows it going? I'm good. This last week was transfer week so a little bit busy but it was still fun. I just want to say something really fast. I saw Leesha's blog thing for me or whatever you want to call it but she wrote "we love elder raia" and then translated into "我々は年上のRAIAを愛します" which translates really funny! It means "we love the old person raia" hahaha but its all good! (I guess I shouldn't trust English to Japanese translating websites. :) Thanks Elder Raia for the correction. Maybe you can correct them too when you get home. Ha Ha!)

So this last Saturday we had a baptism here in Kamisugi. Kyokani san got baptized and I got to baptize her...4 times. The sister missionaries, when they filled up the font, didn't plug it up all the way so it was waaaaaaaaaay low! But everyone was like just try it and see if it will work and the first 3 times didn't go. we were close but no good. So we had to turn on the water again and members used other faucets and brought buckets of water to fill it up. Then on the 4th time we were OK. It was kinda humorous. Also, in regards to our investigator Miyuki san, she came to church for the first time! Elder Hyde and I actually fasted that she could go and have a spiritual experience and it was one of the most spiritual sacrament meetings Ive ever been to! This girl named Manami gave her homecoming talk and It was sSSSSOOOOO good!!!! I think she really liked church."He is still so cool. . .Nothing could change that!

Good job Elder Raia!! Shun the inappropriate!!!

Another Transfer

Here is the latest from Elder Raia. . .
I'm great! Elder Hyde and I are staying for another transfer. But our zone changed quite a bit.

Pretty much all of our investigators have fallen off the face of the earth except for one. Shes doing good. We're meeting her tonight and I think shes going to come to the baptismal service this Saturday. The sister missionaries investigator is getting baptized and she actually asked me to baptize her so that's really cool! (Sounds like his investigators could use our prayers)


We got a letter from his Mission President that says he is coming home on April 2nd! We cant wait to see him!

When looking through pictures he sent us I noticed a bit of a theme. . .lets see if anyone else notices it.

Ha Ha!! Those are some good pictures!! :)
