Konichiwa!
Hey, so it's transfer week and that means that P-day is Tuesday (for me) sorry for the lack of forewarning, again. But it's been an interesting week and the past couple of days have been a bit tense because we are all expecting to get our transfer call but they haven't come yet, oh well.

Monday (月 Getsu yobi):
After Pday was finished we did some night でんどう (Dendo - tracking) and it was ふつう(Futsu - normal) but at the end we got pick by Elder Foust to head down to the Zone Blitz. Basic definition of the Zone Blitz is that everyone in the zone went on じゅんかい (Junkai - meeting together?) with someone they wouldn't normally.
Here’s a picture of our whole zone.

Zone predictions and there is a hidden message, completely accidental.

Tuesday (火 Ka yobi):
ZONE BLITZ!!!!!!!! So much fun! We stayed at the Okinawa elder's apartment overnight, which made about 10 people there, I did not sleep very well. Then we all went down to the church and got training from all the District Leaders in the Zone, Rowley, Tschirk and Houseknecht. Then we got our temporary companion assignment for the day. I got to go with Sherril 長老 (Choro - elder), one of the Zone leaders, and it was so much fun! Most of our でんどう was he answering and making phone calls but it was interesting. We then でんどう (Dendo - tracking) an apartment ぐんじん (Gunjin - note from blog author, I THINK that he meant to write Gaijin which means foreigner. He called the ‘military men’) and they were way fun to talk to. Now this is where the night takes a weird turn and some what pathetic, we did a じゅんかい (Junkai - meeting together) review, where everyone takes about how it went. When it got to Elder Mizukawa (good missionary) and Elder Lyutsov (not good missionary) Lyustov kinda of lied about how the day went. It was way aggravating and then he wanted to sleep in the same room as Elder Mizukawa and that caused everyone to move around, it was way めんどくさい (Mendokusai - troublesome).

Well, you know… why not?

Wednesday (水 Su yobi):
Today started with a drive back to Nago that started at 6:30am and I woke up at 6:20, yep loved it! But でんどう (Dendo - tracking) was different because we where out the doorでんどうing (Dendo-ing - tracking) at 10 which was way different feeling. And for dinner (because it actually notable this time) we went to Chicken Jambaru (note from blog author - here’s a LINK to a tripAdvisor review of the restaurant), probably the only Mexican restaurant in all of Japan and I got a plate of rice covered in chicken, way good!
tacos in Japan!?!?! Who knew?

Thursday 木 Moku yobi):
We でんどうed (Dendo-ed - tracking) this morning, so weird but way fun. Then did lunch studies & planning but Mizukawa and Housekencht had to leave early for a lesson they had, way exciting for them. Eikaiwa (english conversation class) was normal except we had a new student which was way exciting because the new Eikaiwa (english conversation) class is more focused on the younger people to help them with Ekiken and Toiec, which are these WAY hard English tests that the students take. So hopefully we will have enough people to effectively be able to do those classes.

Friday (金 Kin yobi):
じゅんかい (Junkai - meeting together) me and Housekencht went down to Kyoda, the small village that me and Elder Mizukawa went to last week and でんどうed (Dendo-ed - tracking) there for a little bit, we decided to buy some muffins, which were way good. After that we went a little further south to a smaller village right below it and didn't have super effective でんどう (Dendo - tracking) but it was fun. After that we went to go eat at Cpt. Kangaroo, (note from blog author - here’s a LINK to a tripAdvisor review of the restaurant) that place is so good and then our night でんどう (Dendo - tracking) was kinda lame.
Fantastic Muffins!!

Saturday (土 do yobi):
WAY interesting day! so to start me and Elder Aoki went to go leave for early でんどう (Dendo - tracking) but I found out that the handlebars on my bike were loose so we made a run to Daiso (note from blog author - it’s like a neighborhood STORE) to buy some Allen Wrenches to fix it, then we went でんどうing (Dendo-ing - tracking) for a little came back for studies and lunch then we went to the church to help set up for a wedding reception, basketball and A&W (LINK). I drank 6 mugs and felt absolutely horrible and the last mug came back up. Then we went to the Kusaruma's wedding reception, super great 会員 (kaiin - members) and it was a ton of fun.
Done with everything at A&W.

Sunday (日 nichi yobi):
Fast Sunday. It actually wasn't to bad, pretty it was ふつう (Futsu - normal) with fast and testimony as well. We finished up some other things we had forgotten to do with the LA (Less-Active) mapping and after dinner we went up to the college and でんどうed (Dendo-ed - tracking) the apartments near by, all while it was raining, some of the most fun I have ever had while でんどうing (Dendo-ing - tracking).

Monday (月 do yobi):
Interesting day. It started when I got a prank call from Elder Condor, my Zone Leader. He was pretending to be かいちょう (Kaicho - chairman / Mission pres) and that I was getting called to be senior companion and DL (District Leader). At first i believed him, but I got him to slip up a couple times so i figured out that it was a prank. Then Elder Houseknecht got a call from real かいちょう (Kaicho - Mission pres) and that usually meaning you are training. After that we went up to Nakijin, about an hour bike ride away and visited a member and her son and shared a small message with them. Then she took us it to eat, no it was good. Then we went back to the apartment so Elder Aoki could pack. He doesn't actually know his transfer but we're all sure he is leaving.
