2018 Jun 25 - It's Transfers!

Hey, so I’m out. I’m going to Hiroshima, actually the city of Hiroshima in Hikari sweet. Don’t have a ton of time to email because we are going to Sendai. Taught a good number of lesson, and took over some of the Sisters’ lesson because they still aren’t well. Went up some giant hills and dendoed up there.

2 the Sisters need some help throwing stuff away and Elder Chase decided to look to the distance

2018 Jun 17 - Something or Other

Fun week, full of lots of Junkais. Monday, the Sendai Elders came down and we went bowling and then went on exchanges. I went with Elder Miyano and it was a blast. Tuesday, best district meeting I’ve done so, the sisters are still tired so, we watched the Testaments, great district meeting. Then we went to do exchanges in Kagoshima shinai. Wednesday, I went with Elder Nukaya, he is one of the ZLs and had a blast, he is way funny. Then came back and taught Eikaiwa. Thursday, weekly planning and then we went to visit a LA but, he couldn’t met so we 伝道 near by, we were able to make a RA though. Friday, pretty busy. We went to visit an investigator but, he said he didn’t want to continue learning because his son got angry, so, sad day. Saturday, walked outside the door and everything was covered in ash, and the air was filled with it. It looked super post-apocalyptic and depressing. We did have another English lesson with Ihara Takuya, it was way fun. Sunday, went to Kagoshima支部 to watch a conference and I was able to met the Sendai members again, I was way happy about that. Then had a lesson with the Oyamas but, they weren’t able to met then with Matsuyama, we made a RA with him on Thursday and he asked some questions and we ended teaching all of lesson 2 on the stop and it was pretty interesting. This Morning, met with and talked to Nakamura about the word of wisdom and it went pretty good.

2018 Jun 10 - Busy Week

A lot of moving around this week and a lot of sleeping. Monday, slept and then went out to 伝道. Tuesday, fun district meeting then had a pancake party. FHE was also a lot of fun. Wednesday, 伝道, but wee were able to talk to some way cool people in the morning. Eikaiwa was the usual fun. Thursday, went to a member’s, Kikunaga姉妹, house and had a meal, one problem and it was that she lives up a mountain so, it was kind of hard to get there. Then weekly planning and in the evening the 姉妹 お願いed us to get them some drinks and we took the initiative and bought them for more then they actually needed  and then fixed their bikes. Friday, had companion exchanges with the Sendai elders and I went with Elder Williams and it was a blast, first an Eikaiwa student, Hiroshi, took us to eat lunch with his friends and then we taught a little bit of English. Saturday, had a lesson with a LA family, the Utsunomiya, and it was way good, they are a great family. Then we went to go get some Shirokuma with Ookawabata and a member. Don’t know quit how but I got a little bit sick from it. Sunday, church was great, in the evening we had a planning session for the 夏祭り that is coming up so, that was fun.
