Old man winter has decided to finally
make a stop off in Nagaoka because it hasn't stopped snowing since Tuesday
night. We get to walk through snow up to our hips in some places. I take back
everything I said about the snow here because it snows A LOT.
To be honest this week was one of the
most busily-boring weeks of my mission. We didn't have a full day in our area
until Saturday, and that was spent shoveling the church and making a pathway
for cars which didn't happen. The Branch President eventually just called in a
bulldozer. That'll get it done.
Monday we went up to Niigata for a zone
p day and zone meeting the next day. We pretty much just played frisbee is the
cold. It started to sprinkle snow and the wind was going everywhere. Tuesday
was the zone meeting I mentioned before.
Wednesday was another busy day because
we went in the exact OPPOSITE direction of Niigata to help the Joetsu elders
move apartments. That wouldn't have been horrible except for it started snowing
Tuesday night and we woke up with a good 6 inches on the ground. So we rode our
bikes through it. Again and again and again. We moved an apartment in a snow
storm. I ended having to just push my bike through the snow. Now I have an idea
of what the pioneers went through. Thursday was spent getting back to our area
and doing some service and teaching English.
Friday was interviews! I got to see
President Nagano. We went back up to Niigata and had a good chat. We also had a ton
of appointments that day but they all fell through one by one.
Saturday was really just spent shoveling
and talking about how to get the Branch members pumped for missionary work.
We're going to hold a fireside and talk about how to treat people and be nice
when they come to church. My challenge for all of you is to greet an
investigator at church!
Sunday was Sunday. A very busy Sunday.
Today is transfer calls. I'm sure
everybody is shaking with excitement on where the heck Elder Moore is going.
Well, I've got News for you.
I, Elder Moore, will be transferring out
of Nagaoka now that the snow has started and going to Oyama, with Elder Sharon,
who was with me in the MTC so I'm pretty excited. Oh I'm
also a district leader now. Turns out I
can do stuff like lead
apparently!
That's all for this week. Pictures.
