Hi everyone! How are you all doing? I hope you have a great school year! I can't believe summer is already over! It's way too fast! I don't know what's happening but time is flying by. I can't believe the transfer is half over... Gosh. Scary how fast it's going! I can't believe we are already into September. Insane! Anyways. This week was pretty good! Kinda crazy, but way good! On Tuesday I was sick with some kinda stomach bug... It was awful. But we had a lesson at 5:30 with our new investigator tanaka! We had to go! So I rested all day and we went to the lesson. But when we were about to leave I felt so sick. Like the worst I felt all day, but we had to go to the lesson so I pushed through and we walked to her house. Luckily she lives close! Well we get to her apartment and she wasn't home. I almost cried haha. But then! Her kids come running up the stairs! They had just got home from school! She let us in the house and we had a lesson! We talked about the plan of salvation. Her kids were crazy and fighting and screaming but she was so interested that she was asking us questions over her screaming kids! I felt like our lesson was way crazy but she still got it! She was piecing things together by herself and really understanding. It was so cool! We have another appointment with her on Wednesday. She asked us to come back when her kids are in school haha. I'm way excited! After the lesson we went to eikaiwa. And there was another miracle! This lady that me and Butikoffer shimai talked to the Sunday before came! So that was way cool!
On Wednesday we had a meeting with our dendo shunin. We biked out to his house because I thought I was feeling better.... But then we had to bike up this huge hill and I thought I was gonna die. So we got to his house and I looked awful so he let me take a nap on his couch while the other missionaries had the meeting haha. Then his wife made me some soup haha. So nice! Our dendo shunin... Ward mission leader... Is the best! Him and his wife do so much for us! But he just got called as second counselor in the bishopric so we will probably be getting a new dendo shunin soon. So sad!
Thursday, elder choi from the seventy came to our mission and spoke to us! It was way cool! And I got to see some old friends! Clements shimai, who I knew in the mtc and lived with for 3 transfers when I was a bean! That was a happy reunion! And then I saw carvalho shimai and so shimai! My second and third companions! And they are currently companions right now haha. It was fun! Anyways. Elder choi was way cool! He talked to us about changing our hearts and elevating our thinking and expecting miracles. He was way fun. He talked a lot about obedience and his catch phrase was "if you don't like it, like it" haha. It was a really cool conference and I learned a lot!
Friday we had a lesson with Nikkie! She's so cool. She made us Apple pie and it was delicious hAha. She's so gonna get baptized one day. Not any day soon, but one day! I told her that and she laughed and just said we will see! But don't get your hopes up too high... She's totally gonna get baptized! She's just stubborn. But I've seen how much she's changed and how much more she cares about what we are teaching her. It's only a matter of time! We also had a lesson with Tsuzuki! It was so good! She told us that Heavenly Father doesn't seem like some strange far away American God anymore haha. She told us that she finally is starting to feel like He loves her and cares about her so that's way cool!
Saturday we went to this all you can eat yakiniku restaurant with our dendo shunin, the elders, and this less active member. Holy cow. I think that's the fullest I've ever been in my life!... The bike ride home afterwards was pretty painful though haha.
Then yesterday was church! It was good. I love the ward here! They are the best! We also talked to some really great people when we were housing! It was a great day!
This week was so fun! We saw so many miracles! I'm way grateful to be a missionary. It's the best! Well, I love you all! Hope you have a great week!
