Hello again everybody. This has been one
crazy week. Life as a trainer
has left me tired, and being the oldest
missionary in the area has
really been an interesting experience.
I'll fill you in on what
happened for the first 4 days of the
week.
I went to Tokyo again hence the email
title. I've ridden the Niigata
bus more times then any missionary ever
I think. I haven't been in the
area on a Tuesday yet either. Tomorrow
is a first for me. To make
things easier for you, we went to Tokyo
and slept in the Honbu gym
with all the new missionaries. I don't
remember being that wide-eyed
when I got here, but I sure was as tired
as they were. But my sleeping
was interrupted because out of the 20
something elders in this room, 4
of them snored enough to simulate an
army of lumberjacks. Wednesday I
woke up, got my trainee, ate some
enchiladas, then went home (kind
of). We had to stay the night in Niigata
area.
Thursday we got home. Really this week
has just been full of doing
things for my trainee. His name is Elder
McIlrath. Japanese people
can't say his name. He's a pretty cool
guy and I'm looking forward to
working with him. He's from Kayesville,
Utah and served in the National
Gaurd before he left.
I realized yesterday that if people want
the missionaries to do
something, they come to me now. That's a
little frightening because I
can't make decisions for anybody besides
my companionship. But I
realized this week how much Japanese I
actually do know. I know a lot.
I can have any conversation I want. Just
a little exciting feeling.
I've finally reached a level of fluency,
I just need to work on my
reading.
I honestly don't have much to talk about
but here's some pictures!
