Japan, after 10 months

So, the last week of the transfer is upon us already... today was busy, and it looks like today was just the start. I don't remember a lot of the week, it was all a blur with key points. So here they are, sorry, I don't know the days anymore. we are very tired.

Ward conference and ward picture:
- Temple Day! I got Jesus the Christ in Japanese and will be able to read it by the end of the year, hopefully...
- we met a guy in Kiyose who had been to Dallas and we talked about the Word of Wisdom.
- We talked with Masato a lot at church because he came again! Miracle! He is going to Aomori for a little bit, so if I transfer... but he is doing really well. He meets with us more and is starting to understand the simple messages that we share. We talked about hymns and the purpose of hymns this week because he saw Beauty and the Beast and cried during the song. Most Nihonjin that I have talked to about hymns are always impressed and notice the connection between music and the Spirit.
- went to FHE with Masato and Sawada, an Eikaiwa student. We talked about the Book of Mormon by writing a sentence and then drawing a picture and covering up the sentence for the next person to see the picture and write a sentence about what they see. It is like how when something is translated too many times, it is the wrong idea, but the first time is usually spot on.
- we got talked at by a Jehovahs Witness guy. He didn't let us say anything.
- it rained a lot on Saturday.

Next weeks preview:
- Zone Conference
- transfer calls
- 2 shokujis
- Eikaiwa
- English challenge, ooo, what is that?!?

I hope to hear from you all soon, sorry it was short this week,けど、やっぱり、私は皆さんを 愛していますね。今週の一番美味しい食べ物は林ライスツチュでした。面白い味がありました。
お休みなさい!
