This week has been wonderful as always! We had a lot of meetings up in Aomori and Misawa! So lots of time spent on either train rides or listening to talks. But still a week full of wonderful moments.
Before we left for all the conferences we had a normal day to just work! After visiting a lot of PI`s and getting either the, we don`t know you or they arent home we decided to go talk to a member about violin lessons and see if she could help... unfortunately her address wasnt in any of the maps and it was impossible to find her house! It was getting a bit late, so we tried the whole... We are lost can you please help us, kind of dendo. It worked for a bit, but they too didnt really know where she lived. One house couldn`t really understand us and ended up just saying `kekko` meaning. No thanks! .... even though we were lost and just needed help. XD gotta work on that Japanese. We talked to this one lady who showed us on google maps and it ended up being the house right next to hers. In our defense there arent ANY street signs or addresses on any of the houses.
On Thursday we had Zone training meeting. My Zone leader now was actually my District leader down in Nagamachi. So it was nice to still see him around and ask a bit about how the areas are doing. He seems a bit less stressed even though he`s a zone leader now. Thanks to some of that training Aomori zone will just keep getting better and better! and colder!
We had a lesson with our one investigator that got passed to us from the original sisters... unfortunately this was the last week of the family english program and she decided to not listen to our messages anymore. She is part of another Faith and feels a bit guilty listening and praying with us. (boooo) but she is still coming to eikaiwa! 英会話！
So again our Branch President is amazing. Since we had to make so many trips to Aomori he offered to drive us during district conference. Even though we had to be there an hour early for Singing practice he still drove us 2 hours and 2 hours back and bought us dinner :U .... And he ended up bringing my violin down with him for some strange reason even though I wasnt suppose to play it in any of the events... sometimes Im not sure what he`s thinking, but his heart is in the right place and he`s always prepared for everything!
The next day we went to Misawa and got to go to their GIANT CHURCH! full of gaijin americans and listen to some great talks for 2 hours. They were all in Japanese, but that`s the usual. During one of the talks I think a giant Jet took off or something because we heard the loudest plane sound ever. Sorry dad, Couldn`t really see the base. Maybe next time I`ll get to see it.
All and all a great week! In the next 3 months our whole mission has sacrificed something to get to our goals of atleast one investigator a week. The power of prayer, commitment, and God`s will truly makes miracles. Hopefully we`ll see some progress in the Japanese Sendai mission! Pray for them. They truly are a wonderful people.
I love everyone! and can`t wait to talk to you next week!
愛しています！
