2017 11 27 Transfer Day

YUP... Well, nice to talk to you again fam, how are you? I’m doing good, some stuff has happened since we last talk.

Monday (月 Getsu 曜日yobi):

Today we actually had time to 伝道 (Dendo - tracting) then had FHE and it was way cool.

Tuesday (火 Moku 曜日yobi):

No report

Wednesday (水 Sui 曜日yobi):

No report

Thursday (木 Moku 曜日yobi):

Today the sisters dragged us into a photoshoot kind of thing, so, I have a ridiculous about of pictures. Then we had some yakiniku and helped a member out with home teaching.

Friday (金 Kin 曜日yobi):

ALL day we prepared for the thanksgiving party, it sucked soooo bad.

Saturday (土 do 曜日yobi):

Saturday, we had our lesson with Hiro then went to Ritzi’s house, Ritzi is someone the sisters found and is way cool.

Sunday (日 nichi 曜日yobi):

Sunday, we spent basically the entire day at the church, we had both churches and the we prepared and had the Thanksgiving party, it was way fun and I am sooo happy it’s over. There are 2 wards that meet in the same building and because Elder Nakata is a missionary for that ward, we went to it with him. You see, there are only 3 Elders here right now. Elder Barlow went to the Mission Home and we have 2 new Elders coming in. Elder Nakata’s new comp was a former AP and I went senior and my comp is a 日本人 (Nihonjin - japanese person) who just finished training and Lyman is going to Nakatsu and he is still DL. I was a little surprised to hear I was breaking into being a Senior missionary with a Japanese comp but, it’ll be interesting

2017 11 12 Chill Week that Crashed And Went Up In Flames🔥🔥

YUP... ...it was a pretty good week until yesterday and then we got some news that wasn’t too happy but here is my week.

Monday (月 Getsu 曜日yobi):

Today we just chilled and then we played some D&D over Skype and that didn’t work super well. In the evening, we didn’t go to FHE, we rocked out with a PI and a member, way cool.

meeting at the church

practice time

Tuesday (火 Moku 曜日yobi):

Today we went on 巡回 (junkai - patrol / splits) with the Elders in Nakata and it was way cool. We had a concert for some old people and we practiced before, for a long time but it was way fun. In the evening it started to rain, it was cold and my jacket was a lot less waterproof than I thought. We were also picking up a bunch of other elders for 面接 (mensetsu - interview).

Wednesday (水 Sui 曜日yobi):

More 面接 (mensetsu - interview) and it was way cool to see the Egans again. In the evening we had Eikaiwa (English conversation class) so, we didn’t 伝道 (Dendo - tracting) at all.

The whole gang

Thursday (木 Moku 曜日yobi):

Basically, today was just weekly planning.

Friday (金 Kin 曜日yobi):

Today we found a dude that was way cool to talk with, we talked a lot about religion with him and he sounded interested. Then we had a meal with a member and it was way good food. Then we had a lesson with Fujimoto and it was way cool because we hadn’t been able to teach but, we were able to set expectations with him so now we can start teaching.

cool right?

Saturday (土 do 曜日yobi):

We had a crazy long lesson with Hiro in the morning and we were able to set up an expectation on what were are going to teach him for the next week.

well, maybe not THAT cool. :D

Sunday (日 nichi 曜日yobi):

Good day, the Filipino members brought a friend to church and he is way cool and because we can’t say his name, we call him Brother Little. Also, someone who used to be a missionary in this mission was doing a service tour of Japan and came to church today, he was way cool. While out 伝道 (Dendo - tracting) we were able to talk to some way cool people. Then, we got a call from 会長 (Kaichō - mission president), for Barlow 長老 (choro - elder). So, he got called up to 本部 (Honbu - mission home), he leaves tomorrow and Lyman長老 (choro - elder) got called as the new DL, it was a way sad night. Also, Pday next week is Thursday next week, I hate it sooooooo much. Yep, that is the lovely ending to my week, not to happy with it.

I didn't tell anyone why I took this picture

Then I took another one
