So, another wild week in Machida. We received transfer calls
this week, due to the holidays this transfer was only 4 weeks and the next one
will be 8 weeks. Then after that we're back to our normal 6 weeks transfer
schedule. I'm staying in Machida with Elder Sakae, which is nice because he's
slowly coming out of his shell. Also having a native Japanese companion isn't
necessarily a bad thing in terms of the language. I already learned so much in
these past 4 weeks and I can’t wait to see where things go in these next 8!
Our
investigator has been following his commitments and it's awesome to see how
excited he’s getting! He absolutely loves The Scriptures and his faith is really
starting to build. We do have to take things slow and in detail because he has
a lot of questions, but they're seriously all the right questions. Such as,
"How do I build faith?" Or "What is Charity?” A lot of men here
in Japan are super busy, especially with work, so we’re still working on
getting him to Church. But he's so stoked it makes me so happy.
Fun fact, you don't need an oven to make a
cake. Elder Sakae and I heard a rumor that you can make a cake using a rice
cooker. We wanted cake, and we wanted it bad. So, being poor and knowing that
if it ruined our rice cooker we'd have to wait a while to replace it, we
decided to try it.
Totally worth it, that thing was delicious.
In other news, we had dinner with a ward
member. The food was delicious, but honestly she was the best part of the
night. She died her hair bright red, has skull rings, and boots with bedazzled cross
bones on them. She is also 80 years old and literally did not stop talking for
the entire hour we were there. It was hilarious.
Other than that it's been a pretty regular
week, and I'm slowly falling in love with it all. The best days are the hard
ones, because there’s such a satisfying feeling of knowing you did your best to
serve others. It never has and never will be about you, that's the best part!
Thanks for the support everyone, I'm having the absolute time of my life. Don't
forget to help someone out every once in a while, little acts go a long
way!
愛しています、
