So, Elder Kikuchi and I are working SO hard. I come home so tired every single day. It's a good thing though. We have to carry our bikes in bike bags on to the train every day and then we can't come home for dinner. There is too much work to be done. However, we found a lot of cool people this week. We ONE lesson this week. Haha, it was THE first lesson that has been taught in our area.....baby steps. Things are picking up though. :)

We found a couple this week. They are Lutheran, so they have a good Christian background. They seemed really interested in the Book of Mormon. That was really good. They also gave us really expensive juice. I was happy.

We had English class and I was in charge of the Kid's English class. It was the cutest class. Nobody is older than 12 and they are all very energetic. We did body parts for the class. So, we sang "Head shoulders knees and toes" and played a lot of games. All the moms loved it. Apparently the last missionary who was here got angry easily so they were all super happy last week that there was a new teacher. Elder Tabuchi was so happy that he wants me to teach children's class every week.....Haha, it takes a lot of energy, but I guess I'll do my best.

I don't know what else to tell you. I really just go and work every single day. It's great though. We are super busy, but it's fun. For a lot of people, we are the first missionaries they have seen. It's great to represent the Savior everywhere we go. One of the investigators we found this week was by playing soccer with a bunch of kids in a park. We were finding and they started yelling English words at us so we went and talked to them. They were pretty cocky about soccer so we showed them our skills (haha, I don't have ANY soccer skills). They had so much fun and then their mom came out and asked us to come back to explain what kind of volunteer work we are doing......Haha, it was perfect.

Last thing, living with the other two Elders is the best thing ever!  Elder Nara has a book of 100 Donburi recipes.

He decided that it can be our countdown for when I go home. A new Donburi every single day. It's been so much fun! Cooking in this apartment is SO fun. :)

 

 

Anyway, I love you all. I love this work. It's hard right now, but things are picking up. I'll have more to report next week!

 

Love,

Elder Low

I had the craziest week. It was super busy and I feel tired. But that's good right?

Before I forget....I just want to say that I saw one of the most formally dressed men Out here in Japan.....and he was in the middle of a field sweeping the road. Out in the middle of nowhere.......He was wearing ....like...a three piece suit. Hahaha, only Japan. I wish I had a photo. It was great. I shook his hand and told him I thought he was sweet....He told me he didn't want to talk about Religion. Hahaha, so yeah.

Kids in our branch who live next door

"How are you?"

"Don't know.."

"Why do you always say that?"

"I think my head's on a little crooked."

"Do you want to ring the doorbell?"

"OK. Be right back."

So, I had to go to Nagasaki to give 2 Baptismal interviews. It was actually a really special Baptism. I got to be there, but had to run right afterwards to get home on time. It was a good one though.

We have a new Chinese investigator. He has lots of interest. He was telling us that right now in his life......There isn't a lot of things he likes. He just works and goes to school and he says he doesn't have a lot of purpose.......SO WE ARE PUMPED TO TEACH HIM! He's super cool. He has an accent that is a little hard to understand, but it's good.

Looks like you are all having too much fun! I hope Jon has a super happy birthday tomorrow.....I guess in two days for all of you.

Elder Tagawa's cooking experiment

Man, I don't really know what else to say about this week. I feel like I just worked my butt off....and now I'm super tired. However, today is district pday and we are going to Nagasaki. I'm glad I can just relax today. I'll send some photos. Keep sending them out for me!

I Love you all,
Elder Low
