Back in the internet cafe this week, the other place just
didn't really work. This will be my last week here though as... I am
transferring! I knew I was going to, but it is always exciting to get the
email. I am heading back up to Kyoto, near the east edge of the mission, to
'Otsu'. ......The big disappointment for me however is that Page choro is being
transferred too. .....Lots of stuff to get done
this week to soften the blow and lessen the damage. Although things had slowed,
our numbers weren't terrible, so just feeling kinda sad about all that right
now.
This week was pretty good. Interviews went alright, although
of course I had to be sick Tuesday through Friday, not enough to stay in (it
never is), but enough to make it not fun working. So Tuesday I was sniffing and
snuffing all through training and interviews from Kaicho, not a good dai ichi
inshou (first impression) I am sure. And I had almost nothing to say to him
during the interview besides normal conversation. He called me awesome and
trustworthy and cool things like that, but at the end he prayed for us and said
'as we transfer Rowlings choro...', I almost laughed, but it seemed like he
didn't need to wait long to decide I needed to move on from Himeji.
I did a massive clean of the apartment during our spare time
on Wednesday, I think the amount of dust might have been affecting me, cleaned everyone's futons and Page choro and I bought a bunch of cleaning supplies and
gave the apartment the deep clean it really needed. Much more pleasant to be in
right now.
We housed into a really nice old lady who invited herself to
Church, she didn't come but said that she wanted to learn with us and we can
come back anytime. Someone we can follow up with this week I guess. With
lessons and other activities, we really didn't get much more finding time than
that though.
Friday's eikaiwa only hit about 15, a few less than last
week, was able to give two people lessons and Church tours though. Not new
investigators but a lot more people that can become new investigators (except
for the blasted white wash...)
Saturday we did the english service we do every week and
then I went with Stevenson choro for a bit ..... and then with Childs choro out to fireworks, that was
really fun! We didn't get to stay to the end, but they were pretty cool.
Sunday at Church was awesome. I told the AMWAY lady that I
might be transferring this week at the BBQ last week, and she came to Church
with her family (Husband and little kid). So we had a family at Church! She
hadn't shown to much interest in what we were sharing previously, but her heart
is softening and it looks like she will let us teach her now....
After Church we went straight home to get changed and go to
the guy who we do English service for's BBQ. It was like a 45min ride, but a
really nice place. There were like 30 people there, ranging in age from about
22-35. Was a lot of fun and we made a load of friends. Some of them will be
coming to our games night this Saturday and maybe Eikaiwa, they were all really
impressed with Page choro's athletic ability, he is good at all sports, .....
Yeah, so it was a fun week. A good last week I guess. .....
