The Empire Strikes Back🚀⛩ (Week 50)

Hello everyone! It has been another great week here in Yokosuka. In all honesty, I can't even remember a whole lot of what happened, but that's because we were working hard and having a blast! I'll do my best to cover the highlights though.

To begin with, last Monday we had plans to do a district p-day and go bowling, but it ended up being a little more expensive than we anticipated, so we went shopping as a district. Which turned out good
because I had some birthday shopping to do anyways haha. I ended up buying a new pair of shoes, getting my bike fixed up, and bought matching pajamas as a district. It was a blast. I'll attach pics of
the pajamas below. During the week, Elder Taniguchi and I went out in the heat and went to work. We talked to lots of cool people so hopefully something good will come of it. We were also finally able to meet with Andrew (our referral from Bro Peacock) this week as well! He is a way cool guy and I am excited to work with him. On Saturday, we had a big "American Cookies" making event with a bunch of Japanese people. It was way fun! Got to meet some way cool people and ate way
too many cookies. No regrets haha. After the cookie event, we had a great dinner appointment with the Franklin Family! I don't want to pick favorites, but they're pretty much the best. It will be sad to
see them go later this year. On Sunday, we finally had our Special Sacrament meeting! Elder Taniguchi and I had two investigators lined up to attend but unfortunately both of them fell through. A lot of the friends that were invited by members fell through as well, so it was just like a normal sized meeting. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty disappointed. It turned out to be a great service in the end though. There were lots of fantastic talks and beautiful musical numbers. The spirit was way strong. Today, we are going to Kamakura and I am pretty excited. There is lots of sweet Japanese history and I'm probably going to spend too much money so I'll send pictures next week.

It was good to hear from everyone this week and it sounds like things are going good. Hope everyone has another great week and sends me lots of emails! I look forward to hearing from you all. Until next week,
愛しています!

Thinking Out Loud 🎸 ⛩ (Week 54)

Hello! How was everyone's week? This past week was a blast here in Yokosuka. With everything from bowling to basically swimming through the rain. The missionary life is great and I wouldn't have it any other way! For all those who aren't missionaries out there, I would recommend! It's been the best year of my life so far and things are looking greater and greater all the time. This past week, we did a lot, but I'll share a couple of our adventures. Last Monday, we decided to go bowling on base again. I didn't play nearly as well as the previous week, but it was fun haha. In the evening, we had a lesson planned with our investigator Manuel. Long story short, the lesson fell through, so we hit the streets. Talked to some way cool people and made some good contacts. Tuesday was lots of Streeting and Japanese Class. Fun stuff. On Wednesday , we did a lot of Streeting during the day and had dinner with the Cribb family. They took us out to Chili's in base and ...
