Missionary Moments

It feels like last week was pretty full on, but I need to do a better job at remembering events and things... Everything kind of blends into one here.

It's pretty fun hanging with Jackson choro and dendouing. We get the work done, and are both capable enough that it isn't very stressful at all. We had a lot of focus on housing this week, and are starting to see some results. No new investigators, but there are actually people with some interest out there behind those doors, it can just take a lot of time. We had this one old lady call us up because she read our chirashi, and we went to visit her, she wasn't home, so I called her back and she had no idea who I was, thought we were 'the medicine people', visited again and she was just really old and couldn't remember stuff, ....

District meeting was interesting, our DL got some weird rash thing and couldn't leave the apartment, so Jackson choro and I took it. It turned into more of a District council, but was really good.

Japanese class was fun, I got to make good friends with chinese and filipinos who are all about the same level of Japanese as me. We all speak English too, so it's a lot of fun speaking a mixed up version of both languages, with Chinese and tagalog thrown in too. It was Jackson choro's first time, so he was on the other side of the hall with the new people, one of them actually being someone white. We made friends with her afterwards, but she is a christian missionary for an international Christian organisation..... she wants to meet up and talk sometime, so that will be fun......

Church was good. I gave a 10 minute talk, might have gone over, but wrote most of it down because there were several things I wanted to say that my Japanese couldn't handle on the spot. I am not sure if it was well understood by everyone, but I enjoyed giving it and was thanked a lot afterwards. After Church we went with this one old guy who is a super good member missionary to chirashi kubari, hand out flyers, at the eki. He says helping out the missionaries like that every now and then really gives a spiritual boost. I hope more members do it, because it sure was fun, and pretty successful. I think we will have some new people at Eikaiwa this week.

Not too much more to report...... But yeah, do some missionary work for the missionaries please!
