Wow, that was a fast week. This is what I've been up to this week
Wednesday: after me and Campbell Chōrō had finished with laundry we had went to the gym for an hour. I played volleyball while Campbell Chōrō played basketball. It was a ton of fun, after that we all got dressed and went to the Provo temple, which is just down the street, amazing experience. After we had finished up there we had gone to get lunch at the MTC, it was right before the cafeteria closed so we were almost alone and the staff wasn't to happy because they had to serve us. After that the Chōrōtachi went back to the room, I sat down for a little bit to plan our lesson with Makiko and when I had finished I took a nap. Not regretting that choice, after I woke up we got ready for dinner and went to class, during that time everyone in the class had a chance to teach Makiko
Thursday: today was cloudy, like by afternoon it looked like the sum was just coming up, and it stayed this cloudy until about Thursday afternoon. I spent morning taught Japanese by William Shimai and Proctor Kyōdai in the afternoon, and then 3 hours of personal, companion and language study throughout the afternoon. Me and Campbell Chōrō decided to walk around the MTC studying Japanese flashcards for language study, it was chill but really cool. Here are some pictures I took
I do realize its a grainy picture, it was on my IPad. And before 9:30, the time we head from class to our rooms, it had started rainin and I had no coat or umbrella so I put my messenger bag over my head and ran. After we had gotten inside and almost to the room Wincester Chōrō realized that his ID badge and key where missing, we found them pretty close to the door so I threw on a coat and went looking for him, I didn't find him until I had almost reached the residence building, so that was exciting.
Friday: I don't believe I mentioned it but the MTC choir is going to be singing in the Saturday afternoon session of general conference but I'm not in it. The problem is the MTC choir is 12 hundred people and there are only about 300 seats but don't worry I'm in the MTC choir, though Osmond Chōrō, Arnold Chōrō and Torgenson Shimai made it. They lose a ton of study time to be in the choir, so I'm not terribly sad. During class today, William Shimai announced that today was the last day she was teaching us because she was moving to DC right after the class was over, that made it hard to concentrate the rest of class but she was a fun teacher.
Later that afternoon I was in the bookstore getting a scripture case when I hear "Spencer Brinkerhoff?" Which is highly unusual because I hadn't told anyone that my first name was actually Spencer and not Elder. So I turn around and low and behold its Colton Dayley, we swam together my sophomore and junior year. After a loud reunion I find out he had just soon up Wednesday, and he was going to Georgia, I can't remember what city.
Mow for the third surprise, you guys remember my investigator Makiko? Turns out her real name was Grudvig Shimai and also that she is going to be our new teacher.
Saturday: sadly this was a boring day. Nothing interesting, meaning we just studied an had class time, really happened until we were about to have lights out. Wincester Chōrō had asked Arnold Chōrō to tuck him in and Arnold Chōrō said "no" but his Doryō, Swapp Chōrō said he would, after he had wrapped him in his sheets, he used the extra sheets around his feet to tie his feet together and Campbell Chōrō had jumped off his bed, grabbed two charging cables and used them to tie him up, here is the evidence.
Sunday: we had a pretty busy day.
This is Mayse Chōrō, this is picture of him consuming about 14 bowls of the BYU Creamery ice cream and he knows he is doing something stupid. After lunch we had a temple walk, where we walk to the Provo temple not a block away.
This is my branch president, President Stevens. After our temple walk we had a quick district meeting then went to sacrament meeting, which is mostly in Japanese. Then after dinner we had choir practice.
Yes, its packed but the devotional today was given by Steven Allen, he is in charge of all of the missionary training videos, about not going home when you don't want to be here.
Monday: it was pretty usual, study, eat, study and more eating. We did teach our new pretend investigator, Grudvig Shimai was pretend to be Yoko san. Nothing interesting happened tell we got back to the residency hall.
The idea of this fabulous game is to see who could go the longest, last I heard the record was 30 seconds.
Tuesday: we had a sub for class to day, Eyering Shimai. I know what your thinking, we asked and she is the the granddaughter of Henry B Eyering. Studying and eating until we had the devotional, Elder and Sister Schwitzer talked, Sister Schwitzer about leaving no regrets and Elder Schwitzer about the blessings of commandments. Then we finished off the day with a review back in the classroom.
Let me know how you guys are doing
