Well hello hello it's me. I'm going to
tell you about my life in Japan now.
So this week I have literally nothing to
talk about. We had one lesson
with our investigators (of which there
are 2) and just did a whole lot
of missionary work. However, it was one
of the most exhausting, and
fun weeks of my mission for some reason.
We started in the hospital. I talked
about that. Tuesday all our
investigators canceled on us so we did a
whole lot of surprise dendo
(missionary work). We also had a zone
conference, but it rained so
hard. I forgot to mention that we found
out that Elder Mastersons bike
got a whole in the tire, so we just so
happened to get to walk around
everywhere in the pouring rain. If you
think we'd find investigators
just for doing that you're wrong.
Japanese people are scared of the
rain and nobody was outside.
Wednesday was Eikaiwa, where we teach
people English. I swear by the
time I get back to the states I'll be a
certified English teacher. We
also went back to the hospital and found
out Elder Masterson actually
doesn't have diabetes. Thursday was
weekly planning and Friday was
normal. We scheduled a dinner on Friday
though so that's nice. We get
to go over in two weeks.
Saturday we had the beach clean up. Eyes
one tiny beach in our eared
and once a month we clean. There's
always a butt ton of garbage. Like,
we found half of a scooter. Moped
scooter. Then two mascots showed up.
Totally huge publicity stunt. I got
pictures.
I'll tell you about today as well. We
had a zone p day and played
capture the flag at yoyogi park, right
next to Meiji jingu. After, we
went to a kebab place in roppongi.
There's a rule that we can't be in
roppongi after six but I think I'm just
going to avoid it forever.
While at the kebab place, the shop
owners love missionaries (because
we eat kebabs and they're investigators)
but the normal crowd doesn't.
We got some pretty nasty stuff said to
us. We also went to ameyoko,
where I almost got to be on national
television. I got my palm read
and he said I was protected by a sacred
power because the middle of my
ha d has a cross on it. Well duh I'm a
missionary. We told them we
were missionaries so I guess you could
say I almost shared the gospel
with all of Japan but we told them they
couldn't publish the footage
because one of us lost their tag during
CTF. However, they recorded my
hand after that, so my hand is famous.
Well that's it everybody! Hope you all
had a wonderful time!
