number 2!

so this is my first okonomiyaki ever and it was probably my favorite food I've eaten in Japan besides sushi and pumpkin. hahha it's like pancake batter with TONS AND TONS of cabbage and ginger and lots of vegetables and delicious things thrown inside. and then you cook it like a pancake, throw special sweet sauce on top and you eat it with fish flakes on top. hahah it's gross though because when the fish flakes get hot they move back and forth kinda like a fish swims in water. nevertheless it was delicious. The young women and young men made them for the missionaries on saturday <3

haha this other picture is of the elders and two of their recent converts (the men in the back) and our angel sent from heaven who has stronger faith and better prayers than anyone I've ever met ( in the teal) and we're inviting her to be baptized tomorrow and setting a date for the 29th. SHE IS AMAZING. I AM SO EXCITED FOR HER. she realized by herself in the last lesson that there is a difference between the gift of the holy ghost and the influence of the holy ghost which we've been helping her recognize the past few weeks. and she asked us to explain it to her and she's like ''wow i really want that. I love feeling the holy ghost's guidance. I didn't realize that you could have it all the time.'' haha we also figured out that she got the Book of Mormon from the elders in april and she's read all of it and is half way through again. when she was little her parents were super bukkyo (and still are buddhist) and she felt like God existed and she wanted to pray to Him but didn't know how so she tried anyway and convinced her parents to let her go to a catholic high school where she learned all about God and prayer and the Bible and she's the most prepared person I've ever met in my whole life. Sometimes I forget people like her exist. We just have to find them (:

okay, one more forwarded picture email!!
