Well, it has been business as usual. Weeks like this
really make me more appreciative of shorts and air conditioning.
Sometimes I wish I could be like the Japanese business men and unbutton my top
button and take off my tie while biking and walking around. I guess
I really can't complain because there are missionaries in Africa or other places
who deal with this stuff all year round.
We officially welcomed in the new president this week at the
Kamisugi chapel. We had the classic "welcome, welcome"
conference. I am very excited to have my last weeks with Pres.
Sekiguchi because he has got tons of ideas and has incredible ideas for the
mission. He is making a mission Facebook page for all the members to see
the progress in the mission so that those that live in far places from the mission
home feel included. He also has got a great sense of humor. He kept telling my
comp and I that if we get into trouble or anything with the police, we were to just
start speaking English and walk away. Then in case we get
arrested it is ok cause he will come get us out no problem! haha It's
all a joke but I have the tendency to think that in the case that someone does get
arrested, that is exactly what will actually happen! haha
Really at this point of my mission I don't know what to write
in these weekly emails any more. Again I forgot my journal and this last week as
just a blur... really sorry mom and dad. What I do remember was great. We had an investigator come
to church and we reset a bap date with Yoshio san. It was a pretty eventful
week I think! hahaha I do know that God is there and watching over each of us and that the
book is true. Throughout my mission I've had a ton of experiences that have
deepened my understanding of how sacred this missionary work is. I am
thankful at the end of everyday for a loving Heavenly Father that brought me to Japan to speak
Japanese and share the gospel with these amazing people in Sendai as well as other places over the past two years. My mission has been awesome, there is no other word for it. I encourage all who haven't gone out yet or have a chance as a couple, to
leave and go on a mission. God lives and this is true!! love you
all!
peace be with you all
