Yes it's me. I'm sure you are all very
anxious to hear about this
transfer calls outcome, but of course
I'm going to make you all wait.
It gives a little incentive to read the
whole thing. Also pictures.
This week was quite the busy one. It was
like the first time since
week one where we stayed in our area for
the most of the week. I'll
skip to Tuesday since that's the day we
actually did stuff.
We met with our investigate Negishi!
He's a referral from the bishop
and is one of the nicest old men ever.
He has a ton of potential. We
went over for lunch and had intentions
to talk about the Book of
Mormon, but his wife who doesn't like us
too much came home (story of
my entire mission) and things got
awkward. We just sat around and
drank prune juice. But all is well
because we set up a different time!
On Wednesday we had intentions to bike
to the mountain and cut grass
but a typhoon came and ruined that, so
we went to a less active store
and hey gave us lunch as well. We then
taught Eikaiwa. Thursday was
district meeting so we went down to
Oizumi and ate some good Brazilian
food. I ate this massive burger. My
stomach has shrunk but when it
comes to burgers, I still got it. We
also taught our investigator
Shuma, who is progressing well towards
his baptismal date on the 2nd
of October!
On Friday we went on splits with the
Zone Leaders. I was with Elder
Newey. He worked in Urayasu and left
before I got there so we had a
lot to talk about. He's a pretty good
missionary and I learned a lot.
We visited the old folks home and I got
called "handsome and cool" a
ton. The first counselor in the
bishopric mentioned that I play bass
and now the care takers want me to play
a rock show for all the old
people. I'll see if I can get permission
for that. After splits we
visited some less actives who gave me a
whole 1.5 liter bottle of
coca-cola and we biked through a
mountain to visit a member who
complains that nobody visits. I know why
now. It's freaking far.
On Saturday we went to the same market
as we did on Wednesday and
helped sell stuff. I got called handsome
again and bagged a ton of sea
weed. The mother of the family is less
active because she lives far
and her husband is in the hospital but
she loves us. Her son and his
family have gotten to love us too, and I
won't be surprised if they
started taking the lessons. Things are
going well in Kiryu.
It was supposed to rain really bad for
the past 3 days but it's missed
us so far. Typhoons are literally the worst.
To be honest I'm making
this email pretty long so you have to
keep reading. I actually don't
know what's going on because we haven't
received calls, but the zone
leaders called and told us one of us is
transferring for sure.
And finally, the news you've ALL been
waiting for...........
We got an oddball thrown at us. After
spending one transfer in Kiryu
I'm transferring AGAIN to Abiko. It's an
area a little closer to the
big city so I'm pretty excited. It's
also not a huge area, which
another thing I'm excited about. My new
companion is named Elder
Swenson and he's one transfer ahead of
me.
Well that's it folks. Have a good week!
Next time you here from me
it'll be from Abiko!
