So, I really don't have much to report this week. It was transfer week and I obviously stayed. Dying here in Tamana. Anyway, the reason I don't have much to report is because I got sick with bronchitis.  I've been out since Wednesday. So, I literally sat in the apartment all week.  Wednesday night Eikaiwa was brutal. I thought I was going to collapse. Then we went home and took my temperature and I was at 102 degrees. The Asthma loves a good bronchitis so I feel like I've been running since Wednesday. I still pray that one day I'll outgrow my asthma. I had to whip out the nebulizer two or three times. I thought I was going to pass out.....and my roommates thought I was going to die. Haha, I feel bad. I finally had the energy to get up yesterday and I went to church. Turns out that everyone in the branch already knew I was sick. Word spread fast. People brought me soup and ice cream and stuff. It was really sweet.

Now, I'm doing fine. Just a little cough. My energy is back and I'm ready to get back to work.

Oh! I forgot to tell you. The mission president was called down to our stake to give a talk at Stake Conference next week. The stake president really wants to get everyone excited about Dendo. I got a call from the Stake President and he said that he wanted a missionary to raise everyone's dendo fire and the Mission President had recommended me. So, now I have to give a talk at Stake Conference for everyone in the Kumamoto stake. I'm awful at speaking in front of people in Japanese. I'm pretty nervous, but I guess we'll see how it goes. I've been preparing a lot.

Anyway, that's really all I've got. I'm sorry. It's been a pretty awful week, but I haven't had a lot of awful weeks, so I guess I had to have them sometime. Time to get back down to business this week. I'm so pumped.

Love you all,

Elder Randy Kazuhiro Low

Elder Chantry and I have been fighting to find new investigators...We have about 30 friends who love us....but won't listen to the message at ALL. We go visit them often and try to get them to try it out for a little bit, but most of the just say they are Buddhist so they can't.....It's kinda a lame excuse.

We had the opportunity to eat mexican food last night with some members. It was excellent.

BUT we had ZTM and I got to talk to Elder Wirthlin. He's doing great. I love talking to him and he gave me some really good ideas. He's doing amazing things right now.

Ice cream chaser to a sushi lunch.

That's gross.

 

 

I really don't know what else to tell you. Elder Chantry and I have been doing this door to door business all week and it's been difficult. Lots of rejections. I'm really grateful that Elder Chantry is such a boss though. He's really positive and I love that about him.

 

OH! My Eikaiwa class wants to know the Kanji for Kazuhiro.....I never learned it. Haha, my bad. My Eikaiwa class loves me. It kinda worries me because they keep saying that they won't come if I leave.......and I'm bound to leave sometime.....but I love them all.

 

I'm carrying two asthma inhalers all the time. It's been worse than it has been for most of my life....BUT, I'm doing really well with it. No big attacks. Just lots of wheezing after riding my bike. Isahaya has lots of hills and the cold wind is a little rough. I have to take little breaks sometimes. BUT I have a sweet new scarf from mom. (Thanks mom. I love it!)

 

Yeah, that's me. Had a tough week, but I'm not getting down on that. We'll keep working hard and you better believe we are going to see success.

Love,

Elder Low
