Monday (月 Getsu 曜日yobi):
For evening でんどう (Dendo - tracking) tonight, we went to go visit some past investigators from Area Book. We decided to visit Andou さん (San - ‘Mister’) who actually lives pretty close by. When we got to his apartment complex, we saw some kids plays baseball. So, Elder Lords walks up and asks if we could join and we spent about an hour planning with them, it was a ton of fun. Then we went to go talk to Andou and see what was up. We talked with him for a little and it sounded like he was going to be joining another church pretty soon, which was way sad to hear. After meeting with him we went over to a RA (Return Appointment) we had set and since Elder Lords doesn't have his bike yet we walked and got lost. We took a wrong turn near the beginning and ended up walking around a water plant so, we quickly turned around and got on the right way, which took us through a road that had no lights, so that was fun. We did eventual arrive but it was WAY later than we thought and they weren't home. But we were able to talk with our next RA (Return Appointment) and were able to give them a BOM, which was way cool.
Here is a picture of me and Elder Lords

Tuesday (火 Moku 曜日yobi):
Had District meeting this morning, way fun. Elder Lords' bike came today and he discovered that he had to replace the brakes so, he did that and it took HOURS. Afterwards we でんどう (Dendo - tracking) near by and found Ikemiya, a college student who just moved in and sounded interested. We also saw these 2 7yrs. old girls who were putting chocolate in their friends mail boxes, we were talking to them and they started ask, 'why isn't your friend speaking? Is he stupid?' Those kinda things while i couldn't say anything back because i didn't know what to say and Elder lords was having tons of fun listening to the whole exchange. We also found Miyagi in evening でんどう (Dendo - tracking), who sounded way interested but way busy and we saw him again at the grocery store, which was cool.
Wednesday (水 Sui 曜日yobi):
We went down to a baseball park and walked around for morningでんどう (Dendo - tracking) to see what was going on and the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters (the winner of the japan national baseball championship) were there practicing. Afterwards we took a 45 minute bike ride to go find Kouichi Shimai (the investigator who got baptized soon after I arrived) because she had been sick and hadn't been to church so we came to check up on her. She is doing better but still won't be able to make it because she is still sick. Since we were kinda of far we decided to でんどう (Dendo - tracking) around and it wasn't too bad. We found a way cool family while trying to track down more people from the Area Book. I talked to the mother about baptism and we ask if we could return and teach the whole family and she said she would talk to her husband and he had talked with missionaries before and was willing to meet but had no time.
Thursday (木 Moku 曜日yobi):
We did weekly planning by the beach, way different but cool. There was a practice baseball game going on later so, we were seeing if we could get someone to go with us and we were able to find someone who wanted to go. We came back after lunch and we couldn't find the guy so, we sat down and watched the game while we cleaned up the phone's phone book. After we had finished we were walking around a bit and we found the guy!!!! And then it got way awkward because as we were talking with him and he started to call over random girls and ask where they were from and it was way weird. He eventually had to go home and we went back for dinner. We started a new Eikaiwa (English conversation class) program today and it felt a lot more interactive and fun.
Friday (金 Kin 曜日yobi):
We visited Ikemiya today and talked about baptism and he ask us not to return because he felt he couldn't be forgiven. Tried to find more people from Area Book but their address wasn't put in right so we couldn't find them.
Saturday (土 do 曜日yobi):
Basketball. We found some JRHS kids that wanted to play basketball and we started earlier than we normally do and had a way fun and pretty intense game. Afterwards we we resting a bit and these JRHS girls showed up and started shooting hoops. Then they asked my companion to shoot with them, he was just kinda of doing whatever and then after our encouragement, he dunked it and the girls started freaking out and they started taking tons of pictures with him. Overall the entire experience was hilarious!
Sunday (日 nichi 曜日yobi):
So, we met 2 new people today, Kisihimoto and Tamura. So, Kishimoto is a member from the Kobe mission and was in Nago visiting family and while talking to her she invited us to come and teach her nonmember family so, we were like "when and where?" So that's what we are doing this Wednesday. Tamura had lessons from the missionaries about a year ago and had to stop because of illness. Today was actually her first time back at church in a while. We tried finding her after talking with Kishimoto but couldn't find her so, we went through the phone book and find a name that was "AI" which was the name used to introduce her to us and called it and it was her! She was actually on her way home and she came back and we were able to do a quick lesson with her and she came to church today because she had prayed and felt she needed to come today, how freakin’ fantastic is that?!? We did try and find someone else in are book with no luck so we でんどう (Dendo - tracking) near by. While でんどうing (Dendo ing - tracking) we got a text from Tamura saying she didn't want to meet because she didn't feel ready and we responded saying that we still wanted to meet and haven't heard anything yet.
It's been a fun week and this next one is going to be way fun and super busy too. The work goes forward in mysteries way. Sorry, just that one picture this week, but there will be some more next week.
