This is what I just went to my Parents...so yeah take all the info out of this that you want...haha!
Hey, yeah we aren't all in Sendai. Me and Shaw Choro are the only ones in Sendai. Everyone else is elsewhere. We had a Zone Conference meeting and I saw him and then Shaw choro is sitting next to me right now cause he was just on splits with me so that was fun! Today was great! I think the first week was just really difficult but now everything is alright. It's great stopping people on the street and talking to them about stuff they don't want to here about! (Jesus Christ isn't that great of a subject to other people...haha!) Anyways yeah Takaki is great! He's so much fun! We get along well. No we didn't eat Natto the first day, but I've pretty much eaten Natto everyday cause that's the only thing in the fridge. Yeah Takaki choro is always in the office until 1 oclock but then after that we eat lunch and go dendo. Yeah I speak Japanese to Takaki all the time. There is no english unless I'm talking to American's. Cause I can speak japanese better then the japanese people can speak english, so it's just easier if I suffer through the Japanese. I'm going to Nagamachi ward. there is tons of members...like 111 last week or something. And then there is a kid in our ward that has been investigating the chruch for like a year and the only reason that he's not baptized is because his dad is against it. But yesterday we all fasted, including him and tonight he is asking again so hopefully his dad says yes. His name is Hashimoto-kun...he's sitting next to me too and he wanted me to talk about him...haha!
Anyways...Love ya!
So yeah The mission is so awesome! Except for I really don't get a P-day...I have like 2-3 hours total for today then it's off to work again! But today was oh so joyous! You really have to just see yourself as a gaijin and since you know that everyone thinks your weird anyway you might as well yell across the crosswalk to get their attention. But yeah our zone had 90 baptisms last year and this yeah we are trying to get 180 and so far we are at ~90 so its going great! we might be a little off target but for the most part we are ready to go! So this is definatly a Baptizing Place. Hopefully Hashimoto-kun gets the ok tonight! Anyways hopefully everyone is doing good, cause I'm ridiculously worn out. And I don't have time to write anyone back so I'm sorry for not if I don't, but when I get a breath I'll get around to it. Anyways hope all is good. The hill I have to climb is super long and steep and I come back everyday looking like I just went swimming...imagine the horror! After coming here I totally have stopped caring about what I look like, cause after one minute of being outside I'm drenched and I don't think I look that great to anyone...haha! It's great fun. I've been meeting so many people going in and out of the Honbu. It's so busy here! My kanji is coming very good too! I'm getting most of what's out on the streets. Anyways, as for investigators I think we only have 1 that we know of here and he didn't end up coming to church yesterday so we are worried about him. He said he would get baptized, but as of yet he doesn't believe in God, so thats kind of a problem, but the Members here are so strong so they've been helping him out and it's been great! Anyways I think that's all the time I've got. Maybe next transfer or so I'll be able to get to post some pictures of everything, so sorry, but there is just no time at the Honbu! Have a great end of summer vacation everyone! I actually don't even think I've taken any pictures while I've been here...haha...weird. Love you all!
