2017 05 21 The Worst Way To Start An Email....



Hello Everyone!
So this week while riding my bike... more on that later. This week was WAY cool and a ton of stuff happened.

Monday (月 Getsu 曜日yobi):
We were late getting out the door today and we had no solid plan for the day, SOOOO we just went out and ended up having some WAY cool 伝道 (Dendo - tracking).

Tuesday (火 Moku 曜日yobi):
Went to Taniyama for district meeting. The meeting topic was ways to have more meaningful prayers. While we were there we made a video for Egan 会長's (Choro - Elder) Birthday. We also got back JUST in time for Eikaiwa (English conversation class).





Taniyama is down south of SatsumaSendai near MinamiSatsuma

Wednesday (水 Sui 曜日yobi):
Today we found an investigator that hadn't been visited for about a year and set up a RA (return appointment) with her! We also went to teach a lesson to Mikiさん (san - “Mr.” / “Mrs”) but, her son was sick so we couldn't meet. We ended up talking to a guy that I had found last transfer and set up a RA (return appointment) with him and we're going to be teaching him soon. Then we taught Madoka in the evening and it was a way great lesson.

Thursday (木 Moku 曜日yobi):
Today we went to a RA (return appointment) but wasn't able to talk and they didn't really seem to have interest. On the way back I realized how bad my brakes were because I crashed and got pretty scraped up. Taught Eikaiwa (English conversation class), sadly not mainly people were there.


It’s really just a scratch

The adventure continues


Friday (金 Kin 曜日yobi):
Friday, we talked to some way cool people and it was a really great day. We also went up to a daigakku (college) and it was a steep up-hill ride. I realized exactly HOW steep it was when my bike's derailleur broke and broke my chain too. Miracle is we still got home on time. You may be asking yourself “How did you get home on time with a broken chain?” Well, we took my chain off and I held onto Elder Chadwick's basket as he peddled us home. It was actually pretty fun, but won't do that again!

Saturday (土 do 曜日yobi):
I had to walk my bike to the bike shop to get it fixed and he got it done a lot faster than we expected. We played basketball with a high school team, it was a ton of fun.

Sunday (日 nichi 曜日yobi):
Today we had a broadcast that Elder Oaks and Elder Gong spoke at and it was way cool. While we were out 伝道-ing (Dendo - tracking) I met the coolest lady. We were able to set up a RA (return appointment) and she told me that I would probably marry a Japanese lady and that was a good thing because half-Japanese kids are absolutely adorable! It was a fun week. I have gotten a little hurt but I am okay and it's healing well


we ran out of food Sunday so, this was what we ate
*NOTE from Dad…
When I saw the above picture I asked Spence if he had made some sort of pancake stew! It looks like there are that carrots in the syrup. He replied that it IS a Pancake, but they had added “Mabu Dofu” to it. And what exactly IS Mabu Dofu? Well, Mapo Doufu or Mapo TOFU is a popular Chinese dish that consists of tofu set in a spicy sauce, with minced meat, usually pork or beef. Yup, that’s gross.

And lastly, Spence said that he had walked out of the room and left his iPad with my companion. When He got back he found the video below. Looking good Elder Chadwick!
