On Tuesday I went to Furukawa and did splits with my good buddy Shaw Choro. He was my MTC companion, so it was a good time! His Doryo, Aiura Choro was with Takaki Choro and it was really bad. At about 10pm they came back to the apartment and Aiura Choro was in an accedent and he lost one of his bottom teeth and the front two teeth on the top were chipped way bad. So he was in bad shape. He hit one of those block things on the side of the sidewalk and since it was really dark he couldn't see it, plus there was a car coming the other way, so the lights were making it too bright to see and boom! So it was disgusting, and I decided that I don't want to loose teeth...EVER! I actually starting feeling sick in the stomach just thinking about loosing teeth. But other then that, Furukawa was way fun! We taught English to a bunch of little Elementary school kids and entertained them for a while.
Wednesday, Not much...just came back from Furukawa and then did another Eikaiwa class, English class, and it was pretty good. Not amazing though. This week is going to be amazing...FYI.
Thursday, Hahaha...ok so when we were out finding, there was this High School Girl that I think I totally changed her life plans...and it's not a good thing. So we stopped her and come to find out, she wanted to be an English Teacher and so I was all excited, you know, cause she must like English! Come to find out she has been to Guam and so I was like, ok I'm talking to her in English for sure, and so I ask her what her name is, in English, and she says her name, and I was like ok your English might be pretty good, so we talk for a bit, and I eventually ask her to do a jikoshokai, introduction, for me and she went all quite and we waited and waited and then I was like "c'mon, your going to be an English Teacher, right?" and after countless minutes of silence I was like, ok you don't have to do a jikoshokai, and then it was all awkward and then I'm pretty sure she left with the impression that she didn't like English anymore...hahaha, so yeah, I felt guilty for the rest of the night, because I shattered someones dreams or becoming an English Teacher.
Friday, Today we met a really strange mom on the streets...I didn't understand her very much, but she was really "touchy", one of those people...and it was just funny cause she was like correcting us, and she seemed like she was drunk, but it didn't smell like it, so I'm not sure. Anyways, Inoue kyodai bonded with the rest of the recent converts, and it turned out pretty good I think they did a little Akashikai, testimony meeting, and Inoue kyodai's testimony was pretty strong...rashii (so I heard).
Saturday, today for some reason I totally lost the spirit, and while we were doing a mogi lesson with Somea kyodai, for some reason I couldn't talk at all, so I just sat quiet and let Takaki choro do the talking. I think it was because we had an appointment with one of our investigators and he really really likes to talk, so we saw him by accident earlier in the day and didn't want to stop and talk to him because he really really loves talking and we didn't have time to waste, so we didn't stop him and later on in the day when we had our appointment with him, he didn't show, and I felt guilty for not wanting to stop and talk to him, so I was overcome with guilt that day.
Sunday, Fast Sunday is always wonderful! We get to ride our bikes up a ridiculous hill with no food in our stomachs! Haha, no, it wasn't that bad today. But we taught Inoue kyodai about Temples and Family History, and it was a good lesson. If you haven't read this months edition of the Ensign I would strongly suggest you do! It's amazing! I especially love the pictures! So today I talked with one of the return missionaries that came back from Nagoya a while back and he told me a bunch of new ways to find people. They are pretty cool ideas, and hopefully they work out.
Monday, P-day, I actually got an hour to write some letters, I also printed out a talk by someone...don't remember his name, but it was about the Atonement and it was pretty fukai (deep)! A good talk, and really fukai, so I loved it...all I remember was that it's about the Atonement, so yeah, it's pretty cool.
Tuesday, we went on splits again today in Kitakami and did splits with Kaneshiro and Ohira choro. It's only a branch in Kitakami, but the members are ridiculous, so it's all good. They are all so strong! They say that on Sundays there is only like 25 people that come to church, so it's pretty small, but yeah, the members have dendo-fire like crazy! So that's where I was yesterday. There was a weird O-bachan on the streets that would like walk a few steps and then crouch down, and then get up and walk a few steps and crouch down again...I think she is a little seishinbyo, but she would just do that all day, up and down the streets. We decided to talk to her and give her a chirashi (flyer) and she didn't say anything to us...just kept doing her thing...so it was a grand time in Kitakami!
Next week were going on spilts again somewhere, not sure, but yeah, it's been awesome! I'm kinda excited and scared for when I transfer...hopefully my next companion is good, and the area is awesome! Ohh, wait, it's Japan, it's awesome all the time! Haha. Mother: I am probably not going to be here in Thanksgiving... definitely going to get transfered. Yes I can read Kami's blog comments! It sends me an email with the same message in it. Thanks for the English ideas! I love you! Bai-bai!
Just to hold you over til my next letter:
