Missionary Moments

Another fairly busy week has gone by for us, not as busy as last week, but still enough to keep us going. 

..... but we might see a baptism this month, which would be brilliant.

This week we rode pretty far north in the area, although as this area is huge, we could still have gone a lot further. It took about an hour and a half to ride out to a former investigators place, but she was either not home or ignored us, so we rode back. I got slightly lost, and took about 2 hours to get back. I figured I am not the best at navigating, I have been leading companions around since 4th transfer, but it takes a combination of phone gps and a compass to get anywhere I am not familiar with. Unfortunately, my companions are never very good with directions either. 

I was handing out Eikaiwa flyers at the Eki and an Australian from Adelaide and his wife came up to talk to me. Adelaide is Himeji's sister city. He seemed really familiar, couldn't put my finger on it though. Very fun sort of guy, they live in Himeji, and we might visit them sometime. It's always nice to talk in English, especially proper, Australian, English.

I got to participate in the guy who was baptised confirmation on Sunday, which was really special. It is so great to see people continuing to grow and stay strong in the gospel. ....

Flat dynamics are still pretty good. I think I have less personal space than in Miki, the rooms are situated a little differently, but we all still get along. ...
