Missionary Moments

My week was pretty good, numbers were average, but we got to do a whole lot of stuff and things felt like they went a lot better.

Best was probably that we got to meet with someone who hasn't been able to meet for a while, and he agreed to a Baptismal date. I hope we get to see or at least have well prepared at least two or three baptisms this transfer.

We spent a lot of time with Livia and Kevin, who are the friends I made a little while ago at that Japanese class. Livia invited us all over to dinner on Thursday at her Christian Church, which is pretty fancy, but kind of small compared with ours. It is owned by some Korean preachers. The dinner went well, we had the sisters, us 4 Elders, Kevin and of course Livia there, and all had a good time. I spent a lot of time translating for poor Elder M., because it was all in English, but he enjoyed it too.

Just as we were about to leave the Korean pastor lady showed up, and I was wondering if she was about to throw a fit, seeing so many Mormons in her building. She was pretty civil with us though, ..... It was raining on Saturday, but we all went out and did soccer and then ping pong. The Vortex you sent me lasted about 10 minutes, and then got stuck on a roof, so that was the end of that. It was fun, but the only Japanese person there was my companion. The whole room was a whirl of English and Portuguese.

The pinata I made was using everything I remembered from when I was a kid, so yeah, I used two balloons and stuff like that.

Having those two Chinese Elders over gives you a good insight into what my teaching is like. I could probably get most content over okay and understand alright, up until an unknown word comes up, and then I am stuck until someone can explain it all for me. But then the explanation can just confuse me too. Do they have electronic dictionaries? That helps a lot for me. Make sure you fellow ship their investigators. I can say Hello my name is Elder Rowlings in Chinese, which I like to use when I see Chinese people, to make them laugh, ....
