Tuesday: It rained all day after we left and I didn’t have my rain jacket or umbrella, so my other jacket took one for the team and we kept going. We went to Konandai, met a man who is one of only 7 people in the world to have his last name, there used to be a lot, but not anymore. Then we went to a place that is called Nokendai, in a subdivision called Nagahama and met some nice people, one told us to come back later, so we will make sure to do that.
Wednesday: Studies in the morning, followed with District meeting, which was really good, we got some info on Spanish speaking members and we are looking forward to next Sunday when our South American friend can come to church. Then we did eikaiwa set up, which doesn’t take that long, then we went to the Kamakura Kaido to see who was walking between Gumyoji and Kamiooka. Eikaiwa was fun, at first it looked like there would not be anyone, but they all just came late. The message from the sisters at the end was great, about how the Book of Mormon can answer any question if you apply it. Try it out sometime, it works.
Thursday: We had apartment checks, which we were getting ready for up until about 20 minutes before the Nelsons got here from Yokosuka. They liked it though, they are really funny people, they accidentally rang the wrong bell, and scared a lady, so they gave her our cookies, too bad, but maybe she will remember the gaijin with cookies. Then we did studies and went and got permission to kubari starting next week in Kamiooka. Afterwards, we did weekly planning. At night we visited a less active and helped him take out his paper recycling that has been accumulating for a year. He only had half of it ready, so 6 months of paper has now been recycled. We had a long conversation with him about why he doesn’t come to church, what he thinks about Japanese economy and wages, taxi, and a lot of other stuff, so we went home just in time.
Friday: We went to Kamiooka in the morning to try it out, it was not as busy, but I liked it. Then we did studies in the afternoon and went to a place called Maita in the afternoon to house and street. It was good, we shared an easter video explaining who Jesus Christ is and how to find peace in life. Some people actually answered and listened and we showed the video once! At night we went to Sugita to house and met a cool high school student and her mom that want the sisters to come back and teach them English and the Gospel, because she is at a Christian School, and they were really nice.
Saturday: more rain, but that’s ok, we put two copies of the Book of Mormon in Gumyoji library and Isogo library. Isogo was amazing. We got lost and met a dad taking his little girl to the library, but he was ok with us being missionaries and was fluent in English. Then we met the head librarian, he had been to church and Salt Lake, and even read the Book of Mormon, thanks to a friend that he had a long time ago and what, he was also fluent in English. Super cool. Then we did studies and i don’t remember what we did in the afternoon. At night we learned about the Nagoya Mission from a member who is on intern here. He served in Nanao, Seto and Kasugai, so shout out to Elder Greer, he might visit soon. Then we sent DCS.
Sunday was good, we had a long day at church with DCS, greeting, choir, and stats, did studies, gave a message at dinner with a bunch of families gathering, and then followed up with a former investigator on a hill that had no exit.
I liked today, we had Zone thanksgiving and we played ultimate frisbee and did arts and crafts. We will go and follow up with a PI now,
Have a great week! See you later, 愛しています。
