Left Behind in Tokyo?

This is sukemen. It is delicious!
I really wish I knew where the time went. I think it has really only been a week and Japanese weeks are shorter than American weeks. So a review, because a lot of the day to day stuff is the same, but don't worry, I will be as descriptive as my fried brain can be.

Monday: p-day, but you already knew that. I finished off last Monday with a lesson with Deguchi San. Wow is he a kinjin! That is a golden investigator (literally golden person). He stopped drinking on his own and we haven't even taught the Word of Wisdom! It was great!

Tuesday: so, the plan today was to do our studies, then do some contacting because our area book has over a hundred potential investigators. We did that, but mostly focused on the investigators who have been harder to get ahold of recently. Afterwards, we were going to visit a recent convert who has been sick. So we walk downstairs (our church has two floors) and lo and behold, there he is sitting in the chapel! He was better and we were going to go and visit him, but instead he came to us! Yay! Train money saved and a new person to talk to! The other thing that we did on Tuesday was build temples. It was an investigators birthday last week, so we made her a reminder of where we see her in about a year. That was fun.

Wednesday: so only two major events happened today. First, district Kubarikai Blitz. That was amazing. We went to Fugisawa Eki for about 3 hours. So many people and faces. There were only 2 problems for me though. First, my spot was next to a bakery, a bistro, a Mister Donut, and a Baskin Robbins. That would normally be a great thing, but I was starving! We ended up getting Chinese food. I had fried rice and gyoza. William and Quinten would love gyoza. The second problem was and is, all of the crazy people find me. I had 2 and I had no idea what one was saying and the other kept switching languages. The multilingual guy I got to go away because I responded in all of the languages. Thank you Ms. Johnson for helping us learn how to say hello in so many random ways. I spoke Italian, Spanish, German, Chinese, Japanese, English, French, and Portuguese. And if you think the crazy people are over, think again.


Thursday: Eikaiwa! We got 4 new students, which is really good because the last transfer didn't see any any new students. I get to be in charge of the game next week.

So I am really short on time. I hate to leave you on a cliffhanger, but I have to go to the store. Here are all of the pictures of the week. I can't wait to tell you the beanchan tales of being left behind in Tokyo proper on temple p-day. Ai shite imasu minas an!
