Hello again everybody! Yes I'm here to
grace your inboxes with my presence.
This week was long and short at the same
time. Because we're right
next to Tokyo bay, the wind is always
blowing, and the weather is
usually less than admirable. It rained
most of this week. That leads
to nobody being on the streets or
wanting to talk. At all.
However we did have some interesting
things happen this week. We
finally got to watch general conference!
It was absolutely amazing. We
had to wait a week for all the translations,
but we watched it in
English anyways. We had a bunch of
people come as well! Probably one
of my favorite people in the area is a
recent convert named Hitoshi.
Him and his family came from Sudan, and
he's easily one of the
funniest people to talk to. In case
you're wondering why a Sudanese
man is named Hitoshi, he just goes by
that because he doesn't like his
Arabic name. We also had one of our
Chinese investigators Sha come. He
is a miracle. Apparently he just walked
in off the street wanting to
be Christian because all the Christians
he knows are super happy.
However, he doesn't speak much English,
and even less Japanese.
Luckily, we had the Chinese translation
of conference downstairs and a
member to answer his questions.
I also got to go to the hospital this
past week. I managed to catch a
minor case of pink eye, and we were told
to go to the hospital.
However, I realized that biking in a
very windy area with pink eye is
not a very fun activity so I stopped by
the local drug store and
picked up an eye patch. It turns out
that missionary is not very
effective with an eye patch. You will be
laughed at. More than usual.
Drug stores sell all sorts of things. I
don't know how I got pink eye,
but we all think it's from the apartment
because it's nasty. We clean
literally everyday but we can't help it.
There's so many problems with
this apartment. One of the other Elders
also has what's called the
Rhino virus, which is a bad sore throat
that no antibiotics fix, so
you suffer for a month. While at the
hospital, I got bombarded with
Japanese I couldn't understand. All I
could make out was "eyedrops"
"four times a day" "come
back if it gets worse" which is all that
matters I guess. Since Friday (the day I
got it) it's completely
disappeared and I continue to take the
eyedrops just in case.
Anyways that's pretty much our week. We
went to a place called odaiba
today which is this huge shopping center
and tourist place. Amongst
the attractions are a 1/1 scale gundam
(giant robot) which I of course
got pictures of. Thank you for tuning in
this week!
