2018 Jan 28 - The Slow Week

So, I don’t know how the week was for everyone else but for me, it was flippen’  slow, like I should of had Pday a couple days ago slow but, it was good. 

Monday, 普通 day and all the missionaries came to FHE but there was only one member so, that was kind of sad. 

Tuesday, fun district meeting and had a RA that we went to but the guy didn’t show. 

Wednesday, normal day, Eikaiwa was pretty normal. 

Thursday, kishi長老 actually got a little sick so, he slept most of the day and I cleaned and did other stuff to prevent boredom but, he is all good now. 

Friday, found someone that remembered the sisters and gave her a BOM and then we did weekly planning and then we found a mom that had met missionaries a year ago and is really trying to learn English. 

Saturday, fixed up the Kishi長老’s bike, the brakes had gotten really bad. We had GameNight but, no one came except this one lady we met at last week’s reception and she came with her daughter, who is around 5 and that was a lot of fun. 

Sunday, church and then we had a meeting with the bishop about how we can help the ward and then a meal with some members. After that the 姉妹 showed us some people that had some potential. Then we got a message from a kind of investigator, Hiro, saying he didn’t want to learn anymore and that was pretty sad.

The other Elders asked for rice and said make it black, so I did my best

2018 Jan 21 - Elder Choi

So, this week we had a member of the 70 come to our mission and give us a training on Wednesday. So, that meant that we had 16 people sleeping in our apartment, it was kind of rough but, it was a way cool training. The first half was about the missionary classic, marriage . Then we helped everyone get to there buses and that was a lot of work. Then Saturday, we had a member that got married in a different Prefecture come back and the ward did a reception for her there, it was pretty fun. 

Sorry the mail is short, I’m dead tired and I’ve been doing cleaning all morning so, I’m more tired.

2018 01 14 - Round 2 Nagamine

For everyone who didn’t read last weeks email, I’m still in Nagamine. It was a fun week leading up to today. So, Elder Nakata’s Companion was stuck in his last area do to extreme snow and didn’t get here until Sunday, crazy. Now until Sunday, we were a 3 man, again. I love Elder Nakata but, I don’t like 伝道 with him, it’s a bit of a way unneeded powerful struggle. Cool things that happened, it snowed, we found a cool mom and daughter and when we went back to teach them we ended just teaching the mom’s w daughters(I thought it was a little weird) we found a different cool mom but, haven’t been able to teach her but, she has started reading the BOM. 

2018 01 09 - Transfer Call

Hey, so today we got our transfer call and I’m staying one more in
Nagamine and with Elder Kishi. This week has been a busy one, 

Monday,
New Years, the biggest holiday in Japan and we went over to Tsuboi and
hung out there all day. We went to a sports center called Round 1 and
then went and checked out the shrine near the Kumamoto castle, then we
went over to a member’s house and had dinner. 

Tuesday, district meeting then we went to the Matsuzaki’s house and ate lunch then had
dinner at the Hirata’s house again. 

Wednesday, had lunch at the
Sakata’s house, their family is big fans of Star Wars and then had
dinner at the Aoki’s house and the Usui family came over too, it was
hilarious and a ton of fun. Then we left to go to Eikaiwa, which very
few people came to and we left early because Furusho asked for a
blessing. 

Thursday, fairly normal day but, because we didn’t do FHE on
Monday we did it today and sadly no one came. 

Saturday, normal day,
people weren’t happy with us but we were able to make some Mochi, it
was way fun. 

Sunday, fast Sunday and we had church at 9 other than
that, it was a pretty normal Sunday. Monday, it rained all freakin day
and it was pretty cold rain too. We did have FHE and it was way fun
because people actually came.
I have spent most of the day at a famous land mark here called Mt Aso
and it was way cool and freezing cold, it was snowing and it was super
windy.
