2017 09 04 Transfer week




WELL...
... it is now the last Pday of the transfer, which makes me kinda of sad. It's been a way fun transfer and has felt like no time. Sadly, we haven't gotten our transfer calls yet so, we can only guess what is going to happen.

Monday (月 Getsu 曜日yobi):
Today we had a RA (Return Appointments) scheduled with Miki, but when we got there she wasn't home. That evening we went to Taniyama for 巡回 (junkai - patrol / splits).



the District

Tuesday (火 Moku 曜日yobi):
I was 巡回 (junkai - patrol / splits) with Elder Larson and this kid is a GIANT and it was pretty interesting. After District meeting we had a district birthday party because most everyone's birthday was this transfer and we did a little gift exchange and I literally got a white elephant for my white elephant gift exchange. It took me a little bit to get the joke, but I got it… literally.

Wednesday (水 Sui 曜日yobi):
Today we had a lesson early in the morning with Kamimasuさん (san - “Mr” / “Mrs”), then we had a lesson with ジジたけ (Jijitake - a person’s name) in the afternoon then that evening we ate dinner with Take (pronounced Tah-Kay) because he is leave for New Zealand, it was a pretty interesting day, a ton of fun.

my white elephant
it came with red markers and I had a bit of fun with that

Thursday (木 Moku 曜日yobi):
Today we had our weekly planning and then I went to a 模擬 (mogi - mock/practice) lesson with Miyabi and... I passed off my LAST lesson Mastery to him! That was pretty exciting.

Friday (金 Kin 曜日yobi):
So, we normally do kid's Eikaiwa (English conversation class) in a kinda far place and normally take a train but, today we decided to bike there instead. The plan was that we could 伝道 (Dendo - tracting) there better if we had our bikes. Well, it took forever to get there and then after we had Eikaiwa (English conversation class) we visited some of the sick students that couldn't make it to class that day. Then we ended planning with them for a little bit and ended not having a ton of time for 伝道 (Dendo - tracting).
Saturday (土 do 曜日yobi):
Today we  basically 伝道 (Dendo - tracting) all day and ended the day having talked to 60 people! AND we also were able to have a lesson on the spot with someone. Just for reference,  the normal high our daily contacts is for us is to talk to about 30 people and THAT’S pretty high.

we found a ton of Pokéballs and had some fun with pictures

Sunday (日 nichi 曜日yobi):
Today a daughter of a Less active member came to church. Her name is Niina, she’s a 16 year old in high school student. She had been taking the missionary lessons in Kagoshima and has a great desire to get baptized. Since she lives here and will be going to the church in 川内 (Kawauchi) we are going to be teaching her. I am way excited to start teaching her because she is way prepared to accept the gospel. After that we talked with Haruna for a little bit then went over to the Aoki's house to teach Madoka姉妹 (shimai - sister) and break our fast over there. After that we went out and 伝道 (Dendo - tracting) a little bit but didn't see a ton of people.

Monday (月 Getsu 曜日yobi):
Oh awkward Monday... not Pday Monday, yep it was interesting. So, it started to rain so we didn't use our bikes. We went to go visit Miki and she dropped us because she doesn't have enough time to be able to meet with us. After that we walked near our area and got distracted by some tadpoles so, we took a little break trying to catch them, it was great fun. When we got back to the apartment we called Niina. Since the legal age is 20 in Japan she needs permission to get permission to be baptized and take the lessons. We were calling just to double check that she had permission and her mom said it was all good. Then w got some 伝道 (Dendo - tracting)

in that evening. It's been a way fun week and a way good transfer. We aren't sure about transfers because we haven't gotten a call, but since I've been here the longest I have the highest chance of transferring but, we have no idea IF or WHERE to...
