Yea, I'm just gonna take a week...✌🏼☀️πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ (Week 49)

ηš†γ•γ‚“γ“γ‚“γ«γ‘γ―! This past week has been great here in Yokosuka! And thank you all so much for all the birthday emails and all the love. You guys are the best! In all honesty, nineteen feels the exact same as eighteen haha. And as a missionaries, we get to celebrate our birthdays by going to work and teaching about Jesus Christ. Probably best birthday ever.

This past week hasn't been quite the adventure of the previous weeks, but it's been good. Last Monday, we went to Joga-Shima park at the bottom of our area and caught lots of rain. It was a lot of fun but we came home soaking wet. After Monday, it continued to rain the whole week. Elder Taniguchi and I both woke up Tuesday morning feeling pretty under the weather, but decided to go out and work anyway. We were in the rain all day on Tuesday as well. On Wednesday, we woke up
and decided that it probably wasn't the best idea to go out again, so we stayed in. We ended up staying in the rest of the week as well to try and recover. On Saturday though, we woke up feeling a little better and were able able to attend a Ward service activity on base. We had the wonderful opportunity to pull weeds around the Chapel of Hope in the humid heat of August. Sun beating down on us, sweat in our eyes, dirty hands, and living the dream. Reminded me a lot of home actually haha. It was good to get out of the apartment and put in some manual labor, but by the time we finished, Elder Taniguchi and I realized that we weren't feeling as good as we thought we were so we went back and stayed in the apartment for the rest of the afternoon. Caught a few z's in the afternoon and woke up feeling a bit better again so Elder McDonald and I went with one of our investigators named
Josh, up to Kamiooka missionary culture night. Each of the missionaries gave presentations about their home countries/states/provinces. There were presentations about Utah, Oregon, Texas, Hokkaido, Kansai, and Micronesia. The only thing they were missing was some Sweet Home Alabama haha! It was way fun though and Josh had a great time. Anyway, we didn't get to go out as much this week, but it was great. Got in some good study sessions and caught up on some sleep!

Sorry if this week was kinda lame haha. I don't like being sick just as much as the next guy, but it is what it is I guess. The work is progressing though! Sometimes it's slow and difficult, but we are
blessed to see miracles from the Lord all the time. Once again, thank you so much for the all the wonderful emails and the love and support. I'll give you all a big hug one day haha! Anyway, 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 ...
