I am sorry...I have no time!
We had a crazy day. Involving driving to this sweet rope
bridge, which I will send pictures of next week...with a member family that I
love dearly. And then stopping lots of other cool places. AND THEN we got a
flat tire! It felt like a family trip. All parts included - flat tire and
all.
It has been a great week! It is interesting having 6
missionaries in Tokushima...and having 4 Elders is a totally different vibe.
But, everyone is really excited. The members are doing everything they can to
keep the new elders busy, which is impressive. We have a ward full of great
member missionaries! Because opening a new area is probably the hardest thing
ever....you wouldn't know anyone. Or how to get around. Pray for all those
missionaries opening areas. :)
Basically, it was a great week! I ate lots of Japanese food.
Talked to lots of Japanese people. Learned new Japanese words. Testified of
Jesus Christ. Loved being a missionary. Said lots of prayers. Talked a lot with
Payne Shimai. OH SLASH, LAST PREPARATION DAY WE RAN TO AN INVESTIGATORS HOUSE!
And it was the best thing ever. She was so surprised. And I miss running.
All in the life of a missionary. I love this work. I love
Japan. It is starting to cool down, and autumn is coming. And I am in the most
beautiful place on the planet for it!
I love you all!
