Week #31

wow, lots of cool things going on all over it seems, there are so many foreign missionaries in the ward no its crazy, tell jordan gambate kudasai for me, I'm sure she's going to love it over there. so, yes we are in a four man apartment which is really fun, however it dose bring up the challenge of not falling into to many tangents, but things are pretty good so far the kanke in the apartment is good we all get along great.

   as far as the cooking situation i don't think we have the bags your talking about but we have pasta and canned stuff, some good italian recipes would be great, we all like that stuff, 

    i Haven't seen conference yet cuz we get it a week later, so ill see it next sunday. 

 so to tell you a little about who I'm working with right now, yamashiro san is our current progressing investigator she loves learning and really wants to find the truth, the on problem thats holding her back right now is that she takes care of her 85 year old mother and her whole family is opposed to religion, so we will keep working with her and see how things go.

the next, is onaga kiyodai a less active member loves video games was baptized 5 years ago but never really felt he understood the Book of Mormon all that well he's really willing to listen, and really wants to understand better, so were currently trying to help him with that, we had to explain to him pretty straight forward that his understanding the gospel and daily study needs to come first before video games, he took it well and agreed. we hope to help him a lot from here out.

the last really cool thing is a recent reactivated member nakamura shimai and by reactivated i mean the after years of inactivity and some missionary visits she got up and came to church 3 weeks ago with her non member friend. yeah for obachan dendo (grandma proslighting) and she's come every week since she's great, a little crazy but great,

   the ward here is awesome as well its the biggest ward i've been in yet and there all super nice, one is a return missionary from this mission who had been in this aria on his mission and married one of the members in the ward after going back to america, he now lives here again, thats brenen kyodai he's awesome. 

   the language is coming along for me here i feel like i can understand the majority of what people mean when they speak but i still have a long way to go, on that note, if any one knows any good fun language learning methods, oshiete kudasai (pleas teach me) 

any way that all for now love you guys

stay strong stay faithful stay diligent 

just keep swimming
