*DRUM ROLL* TRANSFERS HAPPENED! I am now in my 5th
transfer in Japan!!! Time flies so FAST! It feels like 2 months ago when I was
in the MTC but reality says 7. :3 Anyway the area I am in.....is still Iwamizawa! BUT, the number of missionaries increased to
3! It's weird how Sister Harvey became a 3nin a week before me. My new
companion IS..... A NIHONJIN!!! (native Japanese) And also one of my first companions. ELDER
SEKI! Not sure if I mentioned this but Elder Seki, Larson and I
were companions my first day in Japan. However, we will only be a 3nin for
another week and a half before Elder Yamaoka goes home. Though, I am ecstatic
to be with these 2. :) It's really weird though finally knowing how Nihonjin
feel in an apartment with more than 1 gaijin (foreigner). OK, onto how this week went.
Tue: DTM (District Training Meeting). Got our transfer calls, did some finding, and
had a lesson with Masaki San. It went pretty well and we committed him to pray
more often.
Wed: We did a bunch of finding, tried to meet with 2
investigators and left them both food. We made cookies for our investigators
and our new companion and district members.
Thursday: We deep cleaned the Ebetsu apartment (Ebetsu is another area not too far away). We found
hand warmers that expired back in 1999. We filled 3 garbage bags full of
various trash. Then we picked up our new companion and our new DL (district leader). Our new DL
is actually one of Elder Yamaoka's sons (missionary who he trained). Then back to Iwamizawa and did some Eikaiwa (English class).
Fri: We met with the Oono kazoku for the first time.
(They are investigators since before I got to Iwamizawa.) We did a mogie (role playing) lesson with a less active
member (our reason is that I am gaijin so I need practice :> ) which went
pretty well. Then Kids Eikaiwa which is always a blast! Somehow it's easier
than normal Eikaiwa. Then went off to the Katayama's for another Eikaiwa. We
are improving how this goes each time we go.
Sat: We want to Bibai, met with an NA, found some new
Investigators and had a good time. Then back to the apartment for DKK (Doryo (companion) Keikaku (plan(ning)) Kai (meeting)). And we
made notes for the branch members
Sun: THIS DAY WAS
AMAZING! The notes were a hit and everyone felt that the whole day was one of
the best day's they had at church because they started the day with such a high
spiritual note. Made better relationships with the members too. :) Then off to
another NA and did a mogie lesson and he decided to feed us pizza on the 15th
:). Met a referral, and walked a lot. Then we had a Nabe (refers to a variety of Japanese hot pot dishes, also known as one pot dishes and "things in a pot") party with Masaki San and taught a really good lesson over dinner.
Mon: Today was Zone activity. LOTS of fun.
Anyway out of time... :(
LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!
Harvey Choro.
