To the top of Takao πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅⛰πŸ§—‍♂️ (Week 76)

By

ηš†ζ§˜、γŠγ―γ‚ˆγ†γ”γ–γ„γΎγ™! So, you remember last week how I wrote a pretty short email because we went to Costco and didn’t have any time and I said I’d do better next week? Well, next week has now arrived and instead of spending all my time writing you all a well worded email, we’ll be hiking Mt. Takao today. Since time is short once again, I’ll try to cover the highlights as I sit here on the train. γ‚ˆγ‚γ—γγŠι‘˜γ„γ—γΎγ™。

1. P day last week was good. Costco and lots of pizza.
2. Went on exchanges with the zone leaders and had a great time. Learned about the importance of being real and how we can more effectively work together as a zone.
3. Taught English class which is always a lot of fun. Our students are the best.
4. Our English class students took Elder Low and I out to lunch at a sushi place that was far more expensive than we felt comfortable letting them pay for us. But, they refused our money and we all had a good time with the best sushi I have her placed upon my tongue.
5. Got to do that thing that PMG talks about as the “ideal teaching situation”. A member had a friend who he invited to his home to meet with him and us. It was a great contact and a lot of fun.
6. Later realized that the same guy we met at the members house was also a former investigator who we had been trying to get in contact with for a while but never could. Huge miracle.
7. Met with a good friend of ours from Taiwan. He’s not from Taipei (sorry Sister Johnson), but he is a way cool guy who is living here in Japan for about a year for work. He goes by the name Mars, which in my personal opinion, is pretty legit. We’ll hopefully be meeting with him again this week so it’s pretty exciting.
8. And it came to pass that President Warnick said, let there be sisters, and it was done. The Kohoku/Kanagawa area is officially no longer Sister missionary-less. The new sisters are Sister Berghout and Sister Sepulcri. Interesting names but awesome sisters. Looking forward to working with them.
9. Had a Kohoku Ward game night. Had a pretty good turnout. Played a couple good games of Volleyball and had a lot of fun.
10. Had Church on Sunday. Realized how far my Japanese has come and how much the Lord has blessed me to be able to learn.
11. Today, we will be meeting up with some past companions and hiking Takao. It’s gonna be a lot of fun and I’ll try to get some good pics.
 
In all honesty, the past week flew by and I don’t remember a whole lot of it, but it was bomb. Always an adventure and I thank the Lord that I am able to experience the ride. I love you all and hope everyone has a good week!

MTC Week 1

By
Wednesday September 21, 2016 My p-day in the MTC is every Wednesday so expect emails then. I can read emails any day but I can only reply on p-day. I will admit, the first week of The MTC was really really tough. It was incredibly frustrating trying to learn the language, and trying to adapt to my new, very scheduled lifestyle. Since Sunday, I've been able to settle in a little more though and come to terms with having to be patient with myself as I learn the language and further learn the Gospel. On our second day in the MTC, we received our first investigator, Ohira san, who we have been teaching in Japanese! The first lesson was a total bomb shell, but as we have learned to stop trying to rely on ourselves and our own teaching skill, and start relying on the Spirit to teach, we have seen much success in just these few days. My companion is Jones Chōrō. We are not very much alike at all, but we work well together and generally keep each other in balance. Chab Chōrō is our dis...
