Hey everybody. Another week has flown by
here in my own piece of
Winter Wonderland. You may have heard it
snowed in Tokyo. Well it did
pretty much everywhere except here, the
place that in famous (or
infamous) for its snow. I'm actually way
confused when it's supposed
to start and Elder McIlrath and I are
waiting in nervous anticipation.
This week started off way good. We had
so many lessons planned and we
were way excited but by the time
Thursday rolled around we only had
like 3 lessons. Literally 3/4 of our
investigators canceled on us last
minute. At times like that the only
thing you can do is suck it up,
put on your coat, and start hitting the
streets. We put a huge focus
on the Book of Mormon this week, and
we're able to hand out 5 in one
day, and 3 in the next. That's
pretty good for Niigata!
At the end of Thursday we took the train
to Niigata for Zone
Conference the next day. Since it was
thanksgiving we wanted to eat at
KFC because that's the closest it gets
here to real turkey. We want in
and it's like 10 dollars for a 2 piece
set and 20 dollars for a 9
piece so we were just like "ヤバッ、マックに行こう。"
and went to mcdonalds. The
teriyaki burger is top notch.
We had Zone conference on Friday. It was
way good. One of our focuses
was just "the gospel." What is
it, why we have it, how can I teach it
better, how am I a successful
missionary? It was really refreshing
because it was just a large testimony
meeting. Saturday was new
missionary training. Then we took the
train home and did ping pong
night. Then Sunday was Sunday.
I have good news. We set a baptismal
date with our investigator Nitta
for December 10! He's a way good guy and
we're all super excited.
Anyways I hope y'all had a good week.
Thank you parents for sending me
pictures! I enjoyed them. Now here's my
pictures.
