A new Challenger has appeared... Transfer 10 and .... WHO?

Hello everyone! Just a quick shout out to see how everyone is doing at  home. Are you all good? I saw the pictures and all of the Japanese people tell me what they see on the news. I know that you have all seen miracles though. So to get some 元気さ flowing, lets talk about the events of the week,
really short and to the point.

Monday: We had a dinner with an Eikaiwa student where we bore testimony of the reality of the Savior. He has met with the missionaries for 30 years and is a very strong supporter in words for
the Church, but for the action, he is a very strong Buddhist. I hope that we were able to help him feel some hope for eternity and what is after life.

Tuesday: Apartment Checks, we passed and got some Otter-pops. Then we had district meeting, ran home, ate a quick lunch and had a Zone Blitz in Shin-Yurigaoka. It was great! We gave out a bunch of copies of the Book of Mormon, met some new Eikaiwa students, and talked to a lot of people. I went with Elder Yödicke and Elder Poulsen, who i have been on splits with before, but it was really fun! Then afterwards, we stuck around and dendōed some more. Then we came home and studied and had time to contact and street at home.

Wednesday: We dendōed in the place that I think of as the bowl in the morning. It is a bowl shaped part that is surrounded by high hills. We didn't find anyone, but it was a good spot to dendō. We saw a turtle, a huge box turtle outside of someone's house. Then we went home and studied, contacted, streeted and went to Eikaiwa. We met the Lowe couple, our new senior couple in Machida, so it was really good.

Thursday: We studied everything in the morning so that we could help the Lowe couple set up their phone and get some of the area into their GPS. Then we did Monthly Planning and did splits with the zone leaders. I went with elder Yödicke, so it was a good evening.

Friday: SO MUCH HAPPENED. We went to a PI's house and taught about Christ and prayer and he was so happy, then we had to go and help the 1st ward with an activity that will happen on Saturday. Then we studied and it was time for Sports Night. We didn't get to dendō much, but the investigator is progressing.

Saturday: We went out to get a treat for a member who fed us lunch today. We had spaghetti. Then we studied and went to Mision Latina with a new investigator. He is really nice and prepared. The activity was fun and it was in Shonandai! I saw all of the members who helped make me who I am now and was able to talk to them and get out of Area referrals for Hibarigaoka. Then we came home after teaching our friend a lesson about the Restoration.

Sunday: Busy day! We went to church, which was good, practiced with the choir, came home studied, put together a lesson, went to a YSA event to teach them and to meet some less active YSA, and then came home. It was super fun and the YSA are so cool! I cant wait to work with them more from here on.

Monday: We held a funeral for Kawamitsu Shimai and went out to Wendy's with the district. It was super fun. Then we went to open transfer emails and I am staying in Machida 2 with a new  missionary. I am super excited! We will see who he is! Tonight we have a dinner appointment
in the far reaches of our area,so we have to go, but I love you all! Stay safe!
