Sadly
... nothing really big happened this week.  

Monday (月 Getsu 曜日yobi):
Just a normal Pday and FHE was way fun.


best letter opener...

...EVER

Tuesday (火 Moku 曜日yobi):
We had a meeting with everybody in the district to discuss Eikaiwa (English conversation class) and then a normal day after that.

Wednesday (水 Sui 曜日yobi):
Eikaiwa (English conversation class)  was interesting and we also passed an investigator to the 熊本 (Kumamoto - it’s where he’s serving) 長老たち (choro Tatchi - elders) and it was an interesting lesson.





Lyman fell over during studies


Thursday (木 Moku 曜日yobi):
Today had a good weekly planning and talked to some cool people in the evening.

Friday (金 Kin 曜日yobi):
Today we had a lesson with Suwa, the last one because sadly he wasn’t keeping commitments and we couldn’t teach him, it was a bit sad. Then we bought a ton of cleaning supplies for this upcoming cleaning check. Then we helped the sisters clean their investigator’s apartment, it was pretty bad.


dorks


Saturday (土 do 曜日yobi):
Today we had a lesson with Hiro, and we had a crazy deep lesson about the atonement, thank goodness that we had a member present to answer his questions because we couldn’t. So, I’ve been feeling a bit sick so, I slept from lunch till about dinner and it felt great. Then we had sports night and it was way fun.


I got bored on family and found this

2017 10 22 Yep, Transfers




It’s been interesting
...Well, it HAS been an interesting week, transfers was interesting, we did nothing different until we had to go and pick them up.

Monday (月 Getsu 曜日yobi):
No report



Tuesday (火 Moku 曜日yobi):
It was an interesting day. Pday was good and after that we went to go to a RA that we had but sadly her mom told us to go away, way sad. So, we had some extra time so, we decided to visit the drunk guy from a couple weeks ago and he was there and so was his friend. We ended up teaching them the WoW, LoC and tithing and then they said that they would come to church, way cool but kinda awkward.

Wednesday (水 Sui 曜日yobi):
Today we had a meal with a member and after shared a message. It was way fun because their granddaughter was there and by the time we had to leave, we were great friends, lots of fun. It also rained a ton that day.




Eikaiwa is English class


Thursday (木 Moku 曜日yobi):
We picked up Barlow長老 (choro - elder) and Nakata長老 (choro - elder) in the afternoon then we had a little bit of a planning meeting with them and the 熊本 (Kumamoto - it’s where he’s serving) 姉妹 (shimai - sister) and that was good.  



Friday (金 Kin 曜日yobi):
In the morning we 伝道 (Dendo - tracting)  nearby the church and then the 姉妹 (shimai - sister) needed us to fix their bike and then in the afternoon we fixed the other 姉妹 (shimai - sister) bike and then we did weekly planning. In the evening before we had our lesson with 藤本(Fujimoto - it’s a last name), we 伝道 (Dendo - tracting)  some apartments and found this way cool lady, Miyoji, and we talked with her and gave her a BOM and set up a time to come back, it was way cool. The lesson with 藤本(Fujimoto - it’s a last name) was way cool, we taught him about prayer and it was way cool.


it says, "Kawaii?" translated to "Cute?"


Saturday (土 do 曜日yobi):
Today we met with ひろ (Hiro - proper name) in the morning and had a good lesson with him. In the afternoon we went to the Halloween party, it was pretty cool. In the evening, we were 伝道 (Dendo - tracting)  by the church and then the 姉妹 (shimai - sister) called us over to fix their bikes, again.


Spencer with Elder Kai Barlow
*Note from Dad - These two met in the MTC, but Kai's Father and I were in the same apartment together during our mission in Sendai. Like Fathers like sons...

Sunday (日 nichi 曜日yobi):

Today was a weird Sunday, we didn’t go to the 熊本 (Kumamoto)’s DCS (missionary coordination meeting??) because there is now 熊本 (Kumamoto) 長老 (choro - elder) and that was new. Church was good, it got way windy during church. We went to visit a investigator and right as we got there, he dropped us and that was pretty sad but, we helped the 長嶺 (Nagamine - another city) 姉妹 (shimai - sister) investigator take out her trash.

2017 10 08 Lots to do




Hey Y’all,
...it’s been an interesting week and I actually wasn’t able to 伝道 (Dendo - tracting) in Nagamine until Friday, it was interesting.

Monday (月 Getsu 曜日yobi):
Today we went shopping with the 姉妹 (shimai - sister) and we got a little bit bored so, we made our own fun. There is also a ToysRus so, we checked that out. Then we had FHE again tonight but, it was only the missionaries and the member in charge but it was still fun.

literally everyone says I look like Woody so, Takishita 姉妹 (shimai - sister)
took a picture with me next to him

Friday (金 Kin 曜日yobi):
Today we taught Suwa in the morning and we may be dropping him because we can’t teach him because he goes on too many tangents then we had a lesson with Tamura and that was way fun. After him we went to go teach Fujimoto and it went from a lesson to a lot of BRT (Building Relationships of Trust) but it was cool to talk with him.

Saturday (土 do 曜日yobi):
General Conference was way good today. Karisoko came for the afternoon session so, we watched it in Japanese and I didn’t understand very much but it was cool.

Sunday (日 nichi 曜日yobi):
Today was also mostly general conference and we had a lesson with Ueda in the evening but when we went over he said he couldn’t talk, so we 伝道 (Dendo - tracting) near our apartment. I really liked the talk about being in unity talk, I forgot who it was but I thought it was way good. Also, something that I got out of Conference is to daily read the Book of Mormon and I challenge all of you to do the same.
