Week 27- 4/4/16 Didney Lan

Hey everybody it's that time of the week again, but this time I'm in a

different area. As you know, last week was transfer week. I got

transferred to Urayasu area. Urayasu is right on the Tokyo bay and has

Disney land in it. However, I can't go to Disney land as a missionary

which is sad but I get to go around it, and I can see it from our

apartment.

So the first two days of this week were pretty simple. Pack and say

goodbye to members. Really not much else was done in those days.

Wednesday was transfer day. I packed up my bag and headed down to the

station. With the new transfer rules, sometimes you have to transfer

by yourself but I had people going to to Tokyo in my district so I

didn't have to brave the train by myself. However they were late and

we missed our train. This in turn made me an our late in Urayasu, and

I was so tired from lugging my bike across Japan. Once in Urayasu, we

taught a lesson right away to a guy who was met last Monday. We got to

know him and he said he had interest in Christ but not a good reason

why he had interest. We walked him through the "Who is Christ"

pamphlet that we have for people with a non-Christian background. By

the end of the lesson, he said yes to baptism and meeting through out

the week. Starting strong in Urayasu.

One thing I learned throughout the week is there's ultimately two

types of people. The ones have have interest, which are the easy

contacts, and the ones who don't. However, just because they don't

have interest doesn't mean they don't have questions. One guy we

stopped this week said no right away. Later on we bumped into him

again but forgot we contacted him He laughed at my companion then

turned to me and said "actually I do have a question. Why are there so

many churches?" The fact that we contacted him got him to think. He

may not want to join the church, but we were able to teach him some

truth. It's up to him to decide what to do with that truth.

Urayasu is an interesting place. There's so many people here. It's

easy to contact now. Like the church is only really five minutes away

but it takes us 30 minutes to get there because we're just talking to

everyone. It gets a little tiring riding then stopping to talk, then

riding again, but stopping five feet later to talk but it's what we're

supposed to be doing I guess. Thanks for tuning in this week. I won't

be sending many pictures anymore because I found out we can only take

pictures on p day or in the apartment. Until next week!
