Sunset at Nago Beach
(Click any photo to enlarge)
So, I got no email from you guys this week. I'm sure it's because you are enjoying the happiest place on earth. The picture wth Brothers Monson and Wirthlin is the best. I'm super jealous that you're there.
I got the photo album and it's perfect. Thank you so so much. I'm already putting it to use. The pants also work great. I'm 32-34, but I think I'm good on pants right now. I went to Uniqlo recently and got some really good ones. :)
This week was pretty boring actually. Not a lot happened. We had a cleaning check from one of the sister missionaries and it was not so good.....not because we weren't clean.....but for really dumb reasons. Let me give you some examples. I know you're probably thinking we just weren't clean, but this is really some of the things we got marked off on:
- There is no air conditioner in the sleeping room.....I don't know how we can fix that for her. It costs about 400 bucks.
- Elder Alger got in trouble because of the way his suitcase was laying in the closet. It was laying flat. She marked him down because it wasn't on it's side.
- Our front room closet is full of tools and stuff. They don't belong there. They need to be somewhere else (I don't know where else we can put them......when I came to the apartment, that's where they've always been and I've been here for 5 months.)
- She said I need to find a new place for my machine for my asthma.....I don't know why. I just keep it on the top shelf of my closet
- Ok, this is the one that gets me the most angry. The first thing she did when she walked in was told us that she wasn't going to take off her shoes because she's old and American and so she didn't take off her shoes......and then, she started leaving dirt around our floor and she said, that we didn't clean our floor. Her husband said, "Well, we didn't take our shoes off....I think that's the reason there is dirt on the floor". If he wouldn't have said anything, I might have blown up.
Elder Alger was so ticked. My other cleaning checks have all been really good. That was another thing. She was going through our past cleaning check lists and they all said things like, "really good apartment" and "Everything is in good shape" and she complained about that too. Haha, so Elder Alger and I were really bugged by that.
That cleaning check took a good amount of time and so our work that day wasn't so good. Also, this week we had a zone conference in Naha, so we had to spend Thursday night in Okinawa city. That wiped out two more days of work in Nago. Our numbers were really bad this week. Anyway, we had a really good conference in Naha, and it's always nice to see all the missionaries and President. President bragged about us and how we have been growing.
At Zone Conference. 3 generations of missionaries. My bean and my trainer. :)
Also, this week we had a ward bbq and was actually really good. The bishop opened up to us. Things are looking better.
One last thing. Y-san called us this week and canceled her meeting with us. She has to go to the hospital on the day we had set.....turns out she has cancer. She's freaking out. I'm really worried about her. She still prays and reads everyday, but we haven't been able to meet her for TOO long now. I hope we can keep helping her.
Anyway, I got to go catch a bus. We're spending P-day with the zone today. Until next week
Love,
Elder Low
