Hello everyone!

This week was good! We had Elder Cook and Elder Maynes come and speak to us and the South mission. It was awesome! It's Awesome to hear from apostles. It also makes me feel better about myself. I think on the mission people are kinda hard on them selves but I'm always reminded
by the apostles just to love people and invite people. That's success.

I guess I'll get right to the big news of the week. After the conference on Saturday we had an appointment about an hour bike ride away. We went. No one was home. We were a little bummed but also knew it was kind of expected from this person. So we ride back to Tsukuba for our next appointment. In japan there are these poles on the sidewalk so that cars and scooters don't go on the sidewalks. Well I was riding down a hill and saw someone who I thought was an investigator crossing on the other side of the street. I look forward once confirming it wasn't her, and I noticed the pole and that it was too late to move. I screamed and ran right into it flying over the handlebars. I caught myself with my face so... Yeah things are great here in Tsukuba! Ha my eye swelled up so big that night and I've never had a worse headache or pain in my head. My companion was way worried
I got a concussion and so we talked to the mission doctor and stuff and he said I should check it out at the hospital. We went at like 10 on Saturday night cause my nose kept bleeding and my head was still so bad. They didn't do anything... but they prescribed Tylenol for me. It's not over the counter here. Rough. So all Sunday I lied in bed with a throbbing head ache and achy body from the crash. Hopefully I start feeling better soon cause I gotta dendo! It was pretty funny and kinda scary. Ha but I'm fine! Luckily somehow there are no scratches on my face. Just bruised. Looks like I have a black eye.

Anyways, love you all! I'm doing good! Have a good week!

Love, Sister Davis

Hey everyone! This week was good! We had J***'s baptism! His whole family came to the baptism and his dad also came to church on Sunday! It was a miracle! Things are going good and we are trying to find those prepared people! Sorry I'm lame but that's all I got! Love you all!

Love, Amy

Things are going great here in Tsukuba! We are having a baptism on Saturday for J***! He is nine and his dad is inactive and his mom was recently baptized. He is so cute and so ready! It was kind of dramatic because we finished all the lessons and he has been ready for a few weeks but the bishopric wanted his dad to baptize him. No one was really doing anyone about finding out about his dad doing it so we took some action. We talked to his mom and she said her husband has been drinking and smoking so he won't be able to do it. We just set a date with him and tried to consult with the bishop but he wasn't ever responding so we had to just make it happen. Finally, yesterday at church we were able to talk to the bishop and he met with J*** and visited his dad last night to get permission and it's all gonna work out! He's getting baptized on Saturday woohoo! We also just started teaching our friend M***. She's from China. She is awesome and already believes it all. The Chinese are SO prepared! Pray J***'s baptism goes through and M*** starts progressing!

Love you all! Have a good week!

I'm sorry I don't like writing so my emails are lame but here is what's up in Tsukuba:

Easter wasn't even celebrated here. Legit no one said anything at church about it being Easter. I got a new companion. Sister Day my new companion is awesome! We are having a lot of fun and getting lots done in Tsukuba! She's from Georgia. Our investigators are slowing moving along and hopefully we can see baptisms soon! I love my mission! I'm so happy to be here! I love you all! Thanks for being the best!

We got transfer calls! Sadly Sister Kelley is leaving... But I'm staying in Tsukuba! I'm getting a new companion- Day Shimai. I've seen her before but I've never really met her. I'm glad to stay in Tsukuba but I'm gonna miss Kelley Shimai! We have lots of potentials and we are so close to a baptism! J***. He's 9. Please pray for his dad to become active again! Here are some pictures! Have
a good week! Love you all!
