September 29, 2013

Hey, so it's still hot over here....which kinda worries me because we start suit season tomorrow. I hope it cools down just a little bit.
 
So, yes....the new camera is pretty sick. (Yes, I still say 'sick'......judge me. ;))

Also, this week, we've been working super hard with R. We met him a couple times this week and he is doing pretty great. I do have one concern. He told me he will never ever give up tea. He says he's preparing to be baptized and that it's what he wants. He said that he cannot give it up if there isn't a reason to give it up......but we haven't taught him about the Word of Wisdom yet. We are going to really focus on how it's not just our physical benefit but also our spiritual benefit.
 
His other big problem this week was hilarious. We were about to teach English class and he stormed into the church and told us he had a problem. He opened up to the picture in the Book of Mormon of Lehi and his Family on the boat.....you know the one? Well, in the photo, there is a picture of a little boy and he is JACKED. He is so built. His arms are monsterous. R pointed to the picture and said 絶対うそだ! He said there is no way that kid is that strong. That's BS and stuff like that. Haha, I was laughing so hard. He wanted me to call the branch president to get it fixed.....he was kinda joking aroung though. He makes me laugh.
 
He also told a stake leader that he really wants to be baptized. So he's doing great.
 
 

Prep for English Class
 
This week has been pretty rough though....We worked super hard, but didn't get any new investigators and a bunch of our appointments didn't work out. I think my companions might be getting a little discouraged. It's hard to be super Genki all the time.

Looks like chicken, but who knows.
 
 
We have no idea what this is.
 
 
But we had a cool dinner appointment with one of our members. Here name is Sister Kita. She's really just a fire ball. I found out that she used to be a Jehovah's Witness.....Yeah. Pretty crazy. She says that they come to her house A LOT! She just tells them that she found the truth and that she's not interested.....I was pretty impressed. She says it started with Love. This church teaches love.
 


 
 
Anyway, this is the last week of the transfer. Tomorrow, I'm teaching district meeting about being Christlike missionaries and how we need to always remember whom we represent. I hope it goes well. Also, next week you'll get emails on Monday (I'm sorry) because of transfers... I Love you all. Thank you for all the emails. I was super happy to see a letter from Jessica and Jake.....I'll be honest. It kinda made me jump when I saw the name Jessica Low.....Haha, Love you all.
