Week 23 in Japan: Wyld Stallions!

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,
