So yeah, the Sun is out and it's going to be a fun day I suppose. The snow is all melting and you can finally start seeing the disgusting roads of Tohoku Japan!!! haha...kidding, but seriously, winter destroys the beauty of stuff...But then Spring brings it all back in. To every time there's a season. Or something like that...I can't remember the verse. This week was also filled with plenty of good experiences.
So last Tuesday...not much happened. We taught this guy Saito Toru-san, I'm not sure if I mentioned him or not, but he's pretty cool. He is a refferal from his Aunt and Uncle who go to our branch. Yeah, and so that was fun. We also taught Mizuguchi-san, he is the 30 year old Investigator. Email is out by his house anyways, so we teach him on Tuesdays.
Wednesday...ohhh yeah...that day...this day was strait up Finding for 8 hours. We had no lessons planned for that day, which is rare. But we found a bunch of Potentials, so we'll see where they go from here.
Thursday...this day we had District Meeting again and we had splits with the Yamagata choro's so it was pretty fun. We did the split in Tsuruoka and we got a lot of lessons done and found a lot of potentials. Pretty good day. I pretty much did finding all day, but the rest of the Elders got to teach and find and stuff, so it was good. And yes, I planned it that way.
Friday...we met with this guy named Daigo. He is a pretty cool guy. He is kinda odd though. Everytime we go to his house he looks like he is going to fall over with tiredness. He seems tired all the time! But he's pretty cool. He is reading the Book of Mormon for us a little bit, and he said he prayed, so that's good. We are meeting with him today again, so we'll see how it goes. Ohh yeah, and we ate the rest of my Funfetti cake present! Yay! It was muy delicioso!
Saturday...ohh yeah, I got a hair cut again...it's kinda funny this time. Well it's funny everytime, but yeah. We trying to meet with more people but they are "too busy" or they won't answer their phones, so yeah, but we had Eikaiwa today and one person came...(we are thinking about closing it...) But yeah, english class is way boring, especially when only one person comes.
Sunday...Church was good. Everyone was happy, and one of the youth drew a picture of my face and gave it to me, and it was Way awesome! Plus she drew an anime version of what I would look like, and I was way stoked! It was awesome...and it is still awesome! I look at it everyday cause of it's awesomeness....haha. But later on Sunday we had a Nabe party thing...that I had no idea that was going on, but me and Ruefenacht tried to make the most out of it and we Dendoed with nabe in hand. It was kinda funny. Nabe is this really good Japanese dish. It's really good. and we tried getting people on the street to come and eat Nabe, but it was kinda dark and no one was really out, but the people we DID talk to were "busy". So that's too bad for them, I guess.
Monday...I was going to fix my bike today, but turns out that the bike stores are closed on Monday, so we pretty much just wrote letters the whole day. There really isn't much to do in Tsuruoka, and there is even less when you don't have bikes. We also had to drop Sugawara-san, but it was a good drop. Our time with him was a good one. He just wouldn't keep our commitments, because we couldn't give him anymore that he would accept to do. So we had to drop him, but as a final farewell, he accepted to take the Book of Mormon home with him, which is a plus! So I hope he reads it and finds that the Liberation he is looking for is in the Book of Mormon. He believes that what is written in the Book of Mormon is all truth, but at this point he is taking a little bit of a different route to Liberation, but we'll see where he ends up. He respects Jesus Christ and Buddha, and think that they both reached a point of liberation that no normal human could do, and he knows he probably can't reach that state, but that's what he's aiming for. He knows that if he aim's high then he'll land somewhere good. So we'll see what happens. I put my address in the Book so that just in case he finds a way to apply the truths in the book and needs to tell someone, that he could tell me. But it was a good go with him. Pretty much everything that came out of that man's mouth was truth, Way smart, but is looking at life from a different standpoint. If he was standing where I am standing, everything that he said would make 100% sense, but until then his search for salvation is on...
And so Ruefenacht choro and I decided that we are probably getting rice cheeks and so we are going on a rice diet...I hope I can make it! Oh oh!! And we ran this morning! It was way fun! I haven't gone running in forever! We also ran with the 5 finger Vibrum's...they are way cool shoes. But I think I perfer running barefoot still...maybe...we'll see tomorrow. We are running again tomorrow. Plus we had apple pancakes with the Funfetti frosting on them last night and this morning...it was way good! haha...maybe that is also contributing to the rice cheek delema...well hope everyone has a good week! Until next time...I have a secret that I haven't told yet...but you'll find out next week what it is...See you!
There's 5 toe shoes there???? That's way cool! I'm getting some that next time I go to nipon! Or you could send me some! Jk I'll just wait. I think you shouldnt stop eating rice, I think you should eat more so that when you come home you will have a chubby face so that I can laugh at you! Just joking. Well peace out!
