This Week

So we got transfers this week. I am transferring to Hibarigaoka. I all of the way across the mission now. I get to be on a train for a long time, but not as much as Greer Chōrō from the MTC, he has 6 hours ahead of him. This week was good, lots of shokujis.

It is pretty cold when the wind blows here, it goes straight through you. We have been visiting a lot of members and calling people recently, trying to set up lessons for the next transfer. Tomorrow I am having curry with a new investigator, who is a college student studying English. This week was the weirdos split I have ever had. I was with the person I should have been for most of the day, but then he had to go on splits. I was then with this other elder from Atsugi, but he was going on splits with Porter Chōrō. So I ended up with McDonald Chōrō for the end of the night. I biked about 20 miles over the past 2 days. That was exhausting. I didn't really do anything today, but I am reading Jesus the Christ and am on chapter 13. For William, I have reached Acts. For Quinten, I want to see what you are cooking up with Legos. Gretta, keep being cute. Gavin, don't get swamped at school or NYLT. Mom, thank you for raising me the way you did. Dad, thank you for being the best always. Love you all!

Note from Dad: we have updated the Mission Map page with pins of his new Ward building as well as our best guess of his apartment.  He will be junior companion to Elder Spackman who is on his last transfer. 

Also, this transfer will only be 4 weeks due to Christmas and then the following transfer will be 8 weeks to get everything back on track.
