Mission Adventure Letters 15


Mother’s Day is a special day

Its the day Elder Sumsion finds this picture,

We have a mission conference with elder Renlund

Go see some bamboo

Where there was a castle

And smile until the next Pday
I wrote these comments singing the “Saturday is a special day” song. It will make more sense if you read it that way. 



This approximately what happened this week! It was great!  (P.S.- apparently it is week 99...) Week 100: Mount Takao?

Mission Adventure Letters 14

Hello! (I had to type Hello 3 times before I could spell it right)

This was a busy week! 
Monday: P-Day: We went around and got ready for all of our meetings this week. At night we wanted to go and visit a less-active, but we ended up doing a ton of contacting. We had to plan a training for Zone Conference that needed a ton of coordination with the ward. We had members be on call to have the missionaries call and practice set up appointments and to practice contacting others. 

Tuesday: Fuchu District meeting after shooting some messages to our investigators, it was good. We had McDonalds again. Then we planned with the Sister Training Leader, Sister Smith, for the trainings that we had to give on Wednesday. We went home, had time to prepare Eikaiwa, eat dinner, then did Language study. We decided to do a bunch of things for Salt Lake, like a survey and to watch a broadcast. We have a survey from President Warnick to find out what everyone’s talents and Skills are so that the mission can use our talents more effectively. 

Wednesday: Zone Conference: Highlights: 
- Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspot for every companionship
- everyone is healthy and Genki 
Eikaiwa was good, we had 3 times as many students as the other 2 classes combined. 

Thursday: We started the day with heading to Kichijoji for splits with the APs. I got to go with Elder Poff, who was in my apartment in Kamiooka and is my doki. We went to a really fun eki, which was in the middle of nowhere. There was nothing around the eki, but then we went through the neighborhoods to go towards a Christian university, we met lots of nice people who were willing to listen to us. Then at night we had sports night, with Volleyball, Basketball and Ping-pong. A brother from Kunitachi came and we were able to play a couple of games with him. 

Friday: District meetings, including one via video call was interesting. We ate with Ebato Kyōdai. We streeted. 

Saturday: We had splits and Game Night. We did Mother’s Day dendō and had a good afternoon of that. Game Night was good and we wrote DCS. 

Sunday: Mother’s Day! Happy Mother’s Day to all of the Moms out there that are reading this. 

Monday: Skype to MOM! It was super good and I learned that my English writing is weird, so if you could spot check me, I would appreciate it. We will start Splits with the Fuchu Elders tonight and there will be 7 elders here, more than the Honbu! (There is not space here). It will be super fun! 



Mom, you are always bearing with us, thanks!

I love you! 
Elder Murphy
