Oh, it is wonderful that he would care for me enought to help us find an awesome family of five wants to hear about the gospel, and has everyone above the age of eight! It was incredible. One of the first times I have done the door approach and the husband has been home. Automatically he asked us to come in. We showed him our jikoshokai (self introduction) and then his wife had fixed us some ramen of some sort. They are great people! Their whole family was genki (happy) and the cutest little nine year old girl whom we automatically became friends with. She seemed fascinated with my blue eyes. She said "目が青い" (me ga aoi) (you have blue eyes.) and she kept staring at me so I would make funny faces and go cross-eyed and she would laugh. These people are so nice. They knew it was hard for me to understand what they were saying, so they told me in Japanese and after my dode(companion) translated for me - "If you are ever depressed or are having troubles with the language just come and visit us and we will cheer you up!" Now, isnt that awesome?! I love these people. I cant wait until next time!
And it didnt stop there! I went on a split with Nobumoto chourou and we went to an appointment where they had been yesterday and Shimizusan let us right in. Nobumoto Chourou showed him his jikoshokai and thenI was about to do mine and I told Shimizusan that I didnt understand very much Japanese. So, in English he asked me how long I have been here and such. He had learned English in Sri Lanka while there for 2 1/2 years. It felt pretty weird talking to him in English- but it made things a little bit easier in a sense. Then Nobumoto chourou taught him the lesson for a while and Shimizu san seemed interested. They had a cute 3 month old baby and I was looking at the child and mentally asking him if he had some things in his memory that he could tell his dad about. It was a very spiritual moment. The baby kept looking at me as if saying "little do you know" Afterwards, I told Shimizu san in English that I had only understood a little of what they were talking about, but I testified that I had just read the Book of Mormon and knew of the truths in it, and that was why I was here in Japan to share.
