ごめん
Sorry for the late email, it was temple P-Day!
Okay first a funny story. In Japan, they love their alcohol
and their tobacco, a lot. We have a lot of run-ins with really funny drunk people
who are excited to meet Americans. One man in particular showed us his
ancestors burial sight and told us all about samurais. We asked him if his
ancestors were samurais and he was like, "No, but that would be really
cool." So we got a good laugh out of that. Then he showed us his rose
garden and kept telling us which roses smelled the best, which ended up being
all of them, ha-ha. He just wanted to take the time to point at every rose and
say that it smells the best. Elder Harrison and I still get a kick out it. We
visited him a couple more times hoping to find him sober and willing to hear
our message. But every time we come back he's still drunk and wants to tell us
about his ancestors and have us smell his roses, so we'll see where things go.
Lastly, We've spent the first few weeks of this transfer
finding people, so this past week has just been a lot of teaching and sometimes
sadness because people not showing up and suddenly disappearing. Everyday I
learn something new and everyday I get pushed a little bit more so I can't
complain. We recently reactivated a less active member so that was an awesome
feeling. We've been focusing more attention on pumping up the ward to help us
out, and we're excited for the progress we'll be making in the work.
Thanks for all the love and support; just want to let
everyone know for the millionth time that I am probably the happiest person in
the world right now. I'm just living the dream; everyday is a good day as a
missionary. Love one another, work hard, and smile while doing it. Love you all!
Stay Sweet,
カフ長老
