Where did the week go and why are transfer calls on Saturday?

Wednesday: District meeting, it was really fast, we all are working with some great friends here in Hibarigaoka. We went to Hoya and didn't find anyone, so still trying to get an investigator from over
there. Good Eikaiwa, but we didn't get to play a game. We talked to a very awesome friend, we will call him Joe, about God as our Heavenly Father with the Mormon message, "Earthly Father, Heavenly Father". It was really good. I love how simple that video is.

Thursday: Monthly planning! Wow, planning for an afternoon. In the morning, we went out and saw why we don't really go far from the Eki in the morning, because there are not many people after rush hour in the morning. By the way, this is day 196 in Hibarigaoka. Thursday night, we went to a nice place to house and it is called Cosmos and I love how nice the people are there.

Friday: today is my day to fast for the wards 40 day fast and I went into it expecting miracles. Miracle one, I was not dehydrated the next morning, even though it was very hot. Miracle 2, we managed to stay in our mission while Streeting next to the border in Shakujikoen and Nerima Takanodai. It feels different over there in comparison to the rest of the area, just a different atmosphere. Then we went with Mizuguchi Chōrō from Tokorozawa, who was on splits with elder Burnham, and went to the big scary police station to renew our permit for kubari. It went well, but we have some paper work to finish before we can start again. Also, I found tortellini, so I broke my fast with tortellini! At night, we went and continued to house the huge area in between the church and the Eki. We met a Catholic lady who was super nice, but not interested I. The Restored Gospel. Also, in Shakujikoen, we saw a Van Braun apartment building.

Saturday: we had lunch with the Ishizaka's. We went to conveyor belt sushi and one person, he will not be named ate 20 plates at least. That was a lot of sushi. After that, we had studies, and then we went to the Polynesian night event the mission held with Kurenuma. There were so many people. All of kichijoji church was filled. It was amazing. If I could visit New Zealand or Samoa or Tonga, I would. It was epic, the dances and singing and the energy were there for sure. Then elder Gerritsen and I thought TOIEC, had a good talk about hot drinks with the students.

Sunday: I am not even sure what happened. Usually the planner helps me, but I know that the planners plans got torn to peaces by time. I do know that we visited Uenoyama Kyōdai, did a survey for the Mission Office and did some housing and studies after church.

Monday: busy day. We had to take the Tokorozawa Elders their tablet chargers in Akitsu in the morning, then we wanted to go to Aoki to look for shirts for elder Gerritsen. They were closed that early but we floated around the Eki and ate good bread. I was attacked by a pigeon twice. Then because it was elder Burnhams birthday, we went to shabu shabu. We got him ties and something great that you will have to wait for next week because it won't go down until tonight. Good day, I enjoyed it.

I love you all and hope that you have a great week, don't forget to be grateful for all of the blessings that God has given you! Bye-bye!
愛していますね!
マーフィー長老
