This week we had interviews and Zone Conference, which took
a pretty decent chunk out of the time we usually use to go around finding
people. *Sad Face*. But nonetheless we found some cool dudes while we were at
it. The reason I bring that up is it's usually during his finding time that all
the fun stories happen, but this week was just another regular productive
week.
One thing our mission president asked us to do between all
the other stuff we do as missionaries, is to provide 1 hour of community service
a week. So we got hooked up at this small old people activities center. Last
time we were there we brought a ukulele and played a few songs for them. The
lady who runs the place was there and loved it so now we're hooked up to have a
small concert with them. I told you Mom, after high school I was gonna leave
the nest and become a rock star. We changed our names to Bill and Ted and named
the band Wyld Stallions. Tour starts
this Friday. Our manager's name is Rufus. Sorry if I’m home late, I'll probably
be busy signing autographs. Stay excellent.
Also while out and about on the streets of Fujisawa, we
stopped this guy who ended up being a real estate salesman. He was brand new to
his job, and he had a quota to show 10 people a high-rise apartment and try and
sell it. We let him know that we were poor and weren't able to buy an apartment
since we also weren't even legal adults in Japan yet (20 Years Old). He said it's cool; he just
needs some help to hit his quota. Next thing we know we're in this super fancy
model Japanese apartment having a regular conversation with this guy. Like he didn’t
even try to sell it to us. We were just chillin. Now we're hooked up to teach
him English and give him a church tour. He might even bring his girlfriend.
Last thing I wanna talk about is an opportunity I had to go
on splits this past week. I went with a missionary named Elder Riggs, who has
become a very good friend of mine. We were on splits in this college town and
it was just an absolute blast. That night I really had the most fun I've ever
had as a missionary while out finding people. I’ll be honest there are some
days where I don't wanna go out and try and talk with every person in sight, or
sit in a meeting, or go play some groovy tunes at an old folks home. But the
importance of attitude continues to build on me. Everyday can be a good day if
you want it to be. You just have to want it.
Party On,
Elder Cuff
