It's a boy! Part 2?

So transfer calls came, I am training in Kamiooka, that poor Elder’s legs are going to be exceedingly large in stature by the time he is done with our next 9 week transfer.

But here is an overview of the last week!
Monday: Zone P-day followed by me getting a little sick far from home, visiting a cool middle schooler that everyone had thought was a high schooler, and having my favorite water, yes water, the yogurt water, i hope I can find it in America.

Tuesday:
- We went to a new area, Seaside Town, which was just a huge danchi city. Then we went to Costco for dinner and kubaried at night.

Wednesday:
- We were able to do district meeting! And then we set up for Eikaiwa and did a kubarikai. Eikaiwa was good, lots of good conversation about dreams and goals and then a good game of Charades.

Thursday:
-Thanksgiving with members of the English Ward in Yokosuka.
They were so nice to all of the missionaries of the zone and invited us all to their homes! And on top of that, Kamiooka Ward had a barbecue through the Boy Scouts of the area. At night, when we came home, we started splits with Elder Poff and did studies.

Friday:
We paused splits for Weekly Planning in the morning, then we went out and a really good kubari, I ran out completely of flyers. At night we did our Christmas dendō and it was super effective, more people wanted to listen to us.

Saturday:
We did a Member blitz and we rocked it! The district with super members found 2 new investigators and 5 PIs! Go members! I am really excited for next transfer when we can do it again.

Sunday: good day at church, we had the most effective DCS and Ward Council ever, s next week we will have a ward line group up and running, a dendō fireside after church, and lots of Christmas spirit! We had dinner with the Inoue family and it was awesome we had the opportunity to dendō in the area before going and it was good.

Today: We opened transfer calls, Elder Casper is going to Kamakura, we ate pizza from OK Super, and we are on our way to Yokosuka to help Elder Ota teach a lesson as his back up. I can’t wait, we are in a train that is going pretty fast, and with forward facing seats, so you can see out both windows really well. It is cool, but it looks like it will rain and I don’t have an umbrella on me. It is beautiful on the Yokosuka peninsula. Just hills and trees, it is a completely different place than Kamiooka. And the sea is really close, so you can see shipping lanes or Military ships, both Japanese and American in the bay. Lots of tunnels that just go through mountains too. Can’t wait!

I love you all and hope that you all have a good, warm week!
