Week 23- 3/7/16 Everybody's Sick

こんにちは皆さん！元気ですか？

Yes P day has rolled around once more. Time for you to be subjected to

another of my emails. Let's start at the beginning. This week was

honestly a blur. Not because it went fast but because I don't remember

anything. Everybody was getting kind of sick this week. Our District

leader Elder Alder has had a pretty bad cold, and Elder Sato caught

one too. On Friday we took a few hours to rest during the day because

none of us were feeling very well.

We haven't had much success in the way of missionary work either. We

changing our approach to working through the members. We haven't found

anybody this transfer. It hard though because the Japanese don't like

to share personal aspects of their lives, so getting them to invite

friends to church or activities is haaaard. We've been focusing a lot

on the younger generation. The church is actually dying in Japan.

People just aren't getting married or having kids. A big number of

members here is old people. We've been focusing super hard on

strengthening the younger generation and its working pretty well.

Anyways, as I said not much happened this week. We were fed by a

member family. They bought super high quality sushi for us. Honestly

it was all so good. I felt kind of bad the next day though. I think I

shocked my system by not eating raw fish for a few years then suddenly

eating a ton at once. I'll attach a picture of what we ate.

We also got in a few lessons win Koda and he's doing great! During

planning I prayed for two things to happen on Saturday. I wanted a new

person to come to English class (because the only people that come

have been coming for years) and I wanted Koda to show up for ping pong

night. Well, on Saturday we got three new people at Eikaiwa, and Koda

with his kids showed up to Eikaiwa. He's reading everyday, and we were

able to teach, and set up a lesson for the net day which he showed up

for and accepted easily and readily. He's so awesome.

Well that's all. I don't have many pictures this week but I have some

from last week I forgot. Thank you for tuning in! まった来週皆さん！
