So.....today I'm sick....Haha, yeah. However, not sick enough to be in bed. I threw up this morning....which is the best of ways to get up. I feel much better after that though. Still a little weak. I think it might have been something I ate. We were a little short on food this week so I had to kinda dig around to find food on Sunday.....and I think it made me a little sick. I'm fine though.

 

Also, as you can see in my pictures, I'm super busy. On Thursday, the whole zone went to Sasebo for zone training meeting. It was awesome to meet the whole zone......Also, I had to do the translations for the Japanese Elders.....that's how young our zone is. My zone leaders are both as old as I am. So that was fun. It made me feel really stupid. The Japanese Elders were super nice about it and stuff.....but I think they might have been a little confused with my Japanese.

That night, I stayed in Nagasaki city and had a really awesome experience with one of the brand new missionaries. His name is Elder Fender and he JUST graduated from high school. We were walking down the street in Nagasaki and there was a man that Elder Fender ran up to and started testifying......He's pretty fearless. I just kinda stood back....but the man seemed to be getting really angry. Soon, the man pointed at him and said he didn't want to talk at all. He seemed......pretty ticked so I thought it was a good idea to jump in. I told him that we were just sharing a message that has brought us lots of joy. He then told us about how an hour earlier, he got divorced and lost custody of his children and he didn't want to talk to anyone. He also said something like, "Where is God? Not in my life." I began to testify about how it was no coincidence that he ran into us when he did. I told him that God was in his life, but he hasn't noticed yet. I gave him my number and told him to give us a call.....and then he started crying.

 

He said he needed time to calm down and then he would call. Then he grabbed my planner and said if he doesn't call in a week, call him. He wrote his name and address and phone number in my planner. It was quite a miracle. Haha, Elder Fender was so excited.....of course I was too. :)

 

The next day, I got on a train to Fukuoka. President asked me to help him in training a bunch of younger missionaries. It was SCARY. He had me get up in front of the AP'S and all the other missionaries there and tell them what I was doing last transfer and what I plan to do next transfer and he asked questions about everything. What was working and what wasn't. It was good though.

Then I took a train back home.

 

Long week. Also, We had a fireside in church about how the members can help us with dendo. It was really good...but there was a member who contradicted everything we said and told us that it was the missionaries job to find people.......I'm pretty sure he was sleeping during conference or something because I think that someone might have said something about member missionary work.....I don't know.

 

Anyway, the work is going well.

 

 

Other than that, I'm loving the work out here.

I miss you all.
