Wow, this week was FAST. It was kind of a hard one though, because
we didn't get to do much proselyting. Proselyting can be tiring, but I always
feel so good when we do it. This week we were busy with meetings and training
and planning sessions - not fun. I'm starting to get itchy feet just thinking
about it!
Monday we had another Japanese sister missionary hang out with us for the
day. Her companion finished her mission, so she needed someone to be with to
wait for her new companion to come. So that was crazy busy.
Tuesday we had to go to transfers to pick up the new companion! And then we
had our weekly service activity, passing food out to the homeless. So that was
crazy busy.
Wednesday we made cookies and decided to try to go out and find as many
people as we could that were on a ward list of people we don't know. Then we
taught our free English class! So that was crazy busy.
Thursday was our weekly planning session, and that always takes a good
three hours. Then we had to pack our bags and head out! We went to teach Kato
san. She's doing really well! We taught her about the life of Jesus Christ, and
asked her to pray and read to know that he is her Savior. She wants an answer,
and we'll be meeting the next Thursday, so maybe she will have it by then; we're
prayin'! Right after her lesson, we biked to a member's house for dinner, and as
soon as that dinner finished, we headed to Meito to spend the night with all of
the STLs of the Japan Nagoya Mission (BEST SLEEPOVER EVER). So that was crazy
busy.
Friday was our training from our beloved President Yamashita. He gave us
all some guidance for how he wants us to work with the people in our zone, and
how we can work to achieve our goals. These meetings are always so uplifting and
make me want to work, but by the time we get out, I'm just exhausted! That night
we also went to Seminary at the church. So that was crazy busy.
Saturday was our HALLOWEEN PARTY! We had two of our investigators come, and
they had a good time! It was funny in planning this party - the ward didn't want
to do it because it always gets too big, so they said if the missionaries want
to run it then they can make it smaller, so we made a plan for a smaller party,
and the ward took the plan and blew it up to a much bigger party. Gotta love
this ward. After that we headed over to see a recent convert who has been
struggling. We were able to meet him and talk to him for a while and ask him to
come to church! So that was crazy busy.
Sunday we had CHURCH. And Hiromi san came! We first met her the day before
while we were exercising in the morning (don't get your hopes up, I just walk).
We talked for a bit and she said she would come to the Halloween party and then
at the Halloween party she said she would come to church! Woohoo! We're not too
sure what she thought of it all because she didn't say much, but we'll be
visiting her on Tuesday to ask her! Later that night, we biked an hour out to
our Bishop's house for dinner, and then biked back. Fed and tired, I slept well
last night. So that was crazy busy.
So this whole week was crazy busy! And it doesn't look that way when I
write it out like this, but you just gotta believe me that it was. I swear it
was like I was seeing Pink Elephants on Parade, I was so dizzy! And I'd like to
tell you that this next week seems very calm in comparison, BUT we've got some
fun things planned. Until then!!
