Another week in Nago gone by...but I'm dying right now. Today, we receive our transfer calls and I'm getting so anxious! Elder Gandy and I pretty much hate everything about waiting for transfer calls. A lot of people in the zone know what's going on because they found out early from President. I feel like everyone in the zone knows what they are doing except Elder Gandy and I. Also, we have NO idea what's going to happen. Last transfer, we were both pretty sure that we weren't going anywhere......and we didn't.....but now we don't know.

 

So, the rain has been so mild recently that we don't put on our rainsuits......that sounds really dumb, but we usuallly get more wet from sweat than rain when we put on our rainsuits. Yeah.....the weather is pretty much the worst part of the mission right now. It's really hard. Haha, we usually take two or three showers a day because.....we have to.

 

This last week, we had Stake conference. At stake conference, President Gustafsen came with two general authorities. The only two Japanese general Authorities. Elder Aoyagi and Elder Nakatsuka. They were really awesome. Also, we had our investigators at Stake Conference. One of them drove us. He's really progressing. I hope I can stay in Nago so that I can Baptize him. :)

 

I talked to president about Elder Wirthlin. He's super excited for him to come......but I'm freaking out right now. I can't wait! My zone is going to have four beans.....so there is slots that Elder Wirthlin can fill!! If he's in my zone, that would be so awesome.

 

Really quickly.....you said that I probably won't be Elder Wirthlin's trainer.... I was thinking I wouldn't go trainer this transfer, but President called Elder Gandy and said there was a mix up in the Honbu and long story short, he was wondering if Elder Gandy thinks I'm ready to be a trainer........That's another reason why Elder Gandy and I are freaking out right now. I might have to go trainer. I'm super nervous. However, on the upside, I'm super happy that President even considered me to be a trainer.

 

Other than that, not a lot happened this last week.

 

This work is really moving along. In district meeting, we had our farewell to Elder Kurose and it was so so sad. He had everyone bear their testimonies. He's an amazing missionary and I'm very grateful I had the chance to work with him. Haha, I also was very happy that I could understand what he was saying. The gift of tongues is working miracles out here.

The spirit of coming on a mission is really strange. I never thought that I could feel like I'm constantly feeling the spirit. It's amazing and all thsoe who still are not planning on going on a mission......if they don't come, they are missing on the biggest testimony builder possible. I'm so grateful for all the prayers from home and I guess you'll all find out what's happenening with transfers soon.
