Week #84

Sounds fun, I guess. Got to love it when everybody is mad at the world, as for my week, was filled with things I didn't expect to do, elder French in our apartment died ( went home) and so we were helping him get some what prepped fixed up a leftover missionary bike for a member we said we would give it too, he was way happy. And the new missionary came in to Yanai.

And guess who comes in, my comp of last transfer , elder reed, so now I have been comps or am comps with everyone in the apartment, elder reed is in the same boat, but spirits are good in the apartment, today we just came to the church to play ping pong early morning style.
 
We found a new investigator this week, after a bit of a wait it's finally happened. Names Fuji san father and his family just the type of person we have been looking for, don't know quite how it will go for the first lesson, but we hope for all things.

We also got from one of the members super oishii( delicious) chicken nanban (Japanese fried chicken with a super tasty sauce) and stuffed peppers, soooooo good.

That's most of what I did this week, sorry it's a bit short, ate away healthy this week and worked out a bunch, and have a goal to eat huge by the end of the transfer I'll show you my chart.

Anyway, love you so much

Stay strong stay faithful stay diligent JKS.

Week #83

Just toss two out there before I forget, in Okinawa, there's a way big aquarium in my first area but I never went, and then in Fukuoka there is hakata ramen which is supposed to be super good, but those are just two small things off the top of my head.

Anyway, on to my week, nothing super interesting, but we did get fed allot, had tons of service opportunities, I feel like my prayers were defiantly answers there, most people here are reluctant and unwilling to accept your help for anything, we ask everyone we meet if there's anything we can do for them but nothing up until this week. And we got fed well for one of them.
We also had a long awaited lesson, just yesterday, which was way good but we ended up dropping the investigator, too bad but it was a good experience for my about said experience he lives an hour bike ride away and it was pouring rain all the way there and back, thank goodness for rain gear. We also went this week to the outskirts of our area, to a member’s house for a meal SUPER good and the place they live is WAY pretty. I'll send pics.

Well another transfer gone, in a flash I'm what the mission calls old, that's weird, but I usually don't have too much time to think on it, I've defiantly been having restful sleep accepted when the mosquitoes buz in my ears at night and wake me up, WHY DO THEY WANT MY CHUBBY BLOOD? But really I don't know how they get in or where they hide during the day.

Not sure what will happen for transfers but I don't think I'll have another one and done like last transfer, but we’ll see. I'll let you know when I know.

Anyway, rub you so much,

Week #82

Another great week, nothing too special but it was a good time, none of our investigators so far have followed through on a lesson unfortunately, but what can ya do, we have been trying hard and I can tell in my heart when I'm working hard and good things will come so I'm not super worried about how things appear I feel comfort and strength from the lord that things are going well.

We had junkai (splits) with the DLs in our apartment mostly normal dendo but we went with a member to find less actives and at the end went up to a view point I'll show pics.

Other than that I took part in one of the lessons with a kids Eikaiwa or kids English class student one of the moms, she's from Korea, and was just curious about Mormons to start and wanted to read the Book of Mormon, she came to church yesterday as well.

As for next week’s Skype call probably at 6pm for you guys or 7 whenever is good, I'll send my new skype stuff today, I have to make a new one for my I pad.

I'm excited to talk to you guys, and it is weird that it's the last time, I realized that last night and it just weird me out, most of the people in the mission are way younger now, as we get closer to when I came in that's when the floods of us leave and come in, so the number of missionaries is going to drop with the death of my generation and tones more will start coming in but all young or new. It was like that when I came into the miss, lots of young leaders.

But anyway love yah so much

Stay strong stay faithful stay diligent, JKS
