Week 46- 8/15/16 I am a Master Sergeant

皆さん、いらしゃいませ

Lets get started on this week shall we? We had quite the busy one, and
the pattern just continues. There's no need to tell you about last
Monday so I'll skip it. Tuesday we went to the Iwashita family's
hatake (field) and worked the farm life for a few hours. Their house
is over a hundred years old so it's pretty cool looking. We hacked
weeds with tiny scythes and pick fresh blueberries and grapes. Then
the bees got mad and launched a full scale attack on us. Elder Lewis
got stung twice. The bees here are pretty nasty too. They all look
like wasps, not the cute little honey bees we have in America. Then we
biked super far and played with Hikaru-kun. He lived with his grandma
and they have like 17 cats. Pretty crazy.

Wednesday we visited the Sakurais to see if their son was there. He
wasn't but the other son was there who is also somebody were trying to
work with so referral contacted! The rest of our day was trying to
visit some members. I got to fire a few air guns because one of
the members we visited wanted to see how good of a shot I was. Then we
taught Eikaiwa. There must be some class on how to be an old Japanese
man because all they want to do is talk about controversial topics
about America. Then we visited more less actives. On
Friday we went to an old folks home and played games with them. They
love us because we're young, gaijin, and actually come to visit them.
We also had a really good shokuji with the Sakurais grandson Aoi-Kun
who isn't a member.

Saturday is where the title of the email comes in. First we helped out
at a little veggie and fish stand run by a part member family.
Contacted 6 referrals. We also visited a less active named Fujinuma.
Fujinuma is a Japanese man (clearly) who says he is a navy seal,
assassinated Kim Jong-un, got shot down a few times, and was the 2nd
best sniper in the marine Corp. we really just think he has
Schizoprenia, but he is a really nice man. He gives all the
missionaries ranks hence the reason I'm Master Sergeant now, and he
was amazed to find out I grew up in the military. Oh by the way Dad,
Fujinuma says he knows where all the American forces are stationed in
Africa, so if you get in trouble, he'll come and help you.

That was pretty much the week. This next week is also a busy one! Pictures!
