Me and Elder Glover in downtown Naha

 
As far as this week, we were in the rain a lot. It was kinda rough, but we saw some good things happen. First, we went out to eat with the couple missionaries. We had the cleanest  apartment in the zone so they took us up on base to eat. It was way fun....but kinda crazy. The Military bases are pretty strict. I thought that it would be nice because everyone is American and we would fit in.....Haha, I was wrong. We weren't allowed to wear our nametags, but EVERYONE knew who we were. It was still nice though.

This week, we had a mission wide goal to have 200 non members in Sacrament meeting. It was a pretty huge goal because this mission has never broken 100. We got the whole zone pumped up and we all worked hard to achieve this goal. Elder Gordon and I were able to take C san and F san to church, as well as a couple older investigators. In the end, the mission was able to achieve the goal with 208 non members at church. It was a miracle. I'm sure Kaicho is having a party in the Honbu.

So, you remember how I told you about how C san is kinda interesting? So, he went to his Baptist church last week and broke his foot there. He thinks that it might have been God punishing him. Haha, so he's getting easier to meet. It's been great.

Today, our wonderful Ward mission leader is taking all the missionaries to the Aquarium. That one up in Nago! :) I'm pretty excited. Nobody else in Naha has gone, so they are all freaking out. However, today is transfer day. I'm pretty nervous. I'm the most likely to leave the zone. I've been here the longest. ....but I don't really want to go. I'm pretty nervous about it. I would be fine finishing my mission here, but I don't think that's what's in store. I'll go wherever I'm asked.....but I'm kinda scared.

Anyway, that's pretty much how my week has been. Lots of working hard in the rain and sun. I love Okinawa and the people here. It's the best.
