hello everyone! It's been a great 4 days in
Sendai. There is so many people here it is almost over whelming. Most
of all my mission I have been in the booneys so coming here to this
city with over 1 million people is a bit of a change. However, the ward is great
and the dendo is going great.
yesterday it was my first Sunday in the ward so they like to
bring the new missionaries into priesthood meeting in front of everyone and
have a question and answer session. I do get asked questions like "what is
your favorite food", "how tall are you", "how big are your feet", etc. The
funniest one was when I was asked how old my dad was. When I answered the stake
patriarch pointed to the oldest priesthood member (seza kaichou, who is
president smiths adviser) and asked if he looks like him. idk how to
answer so I just said probably, but I don't know cause I haven't seen
him in almost 2 years and I have started to forgot....lol just kidding dad, love
ya! haha Everyone thought it was very entertaining haha The stake
patriarch was the one making the most noise and off the wall comments
haha it was way lit! (had to back to high school for that
phrase) The common thing said about the kamisugi ward is that they will
treat you well if you treat them well. I defiantly felt that
yesterday. On top of that, they is a ton of ysa in the
ward and there is about 5 RMs from Kobe and 2 from Tokyo and Nagoya.
So fun!!
Well recently my work load has increased and as a
consequence, my time is starting to dwindle down down and down. I
didn't have a good opportunity to write in my journal this week. Also, I
forgot it again at the apartment. Sorry mom! The last couple of days
in Iwaki was good. I'm glad I got to stay till Thursday. At English
class I was able to say the last bye before I packed up and went
to Sendai on a 3 hour bus. So next year when we come back, an English
student said I could come and stay at his house. Ill tell ya, the Japanese
people are so nice it blows me away! Iwaki is probably on the list for
places to return to next year.
I find joy in the simple things; whether it's having a fun conversation with someone on the street or
teaching an investigator and seeing them understand a concept by using an example or just having a good time with everyone in the apartment. Those
things are good and simple. A quote from Larry H.
Miller, "Continue to do good things in the world until you can no longer do any
good".
Romans 12:21
Alright you all have a good week and see ya next week!
