So really, there`s waaaay to
much that happened this week for me to write...especially now that I only have
15 min left haha
So we had a mission
conference this week about getting IPads! So that`s exciting! It also kinda
stunk because we had to waste three days with traveling...a day to go there, a
day for the conference, and a day coming back...so we didn`t get to do as much
actually missionary work as I would have liked.
I also had a kokan in
takayama on tuesday, which was really cool! Except it was a 5 hour train ride
to get there, and another 5 hours to get back...so again lots of wasted travel
time...
But! Lots of other
good stuff happened in the bit of time we did have to dendo, so it`s ok!
So some quick
news...only have 15 min. So probably won`t include too many stories.
-Mahikari is
scary...they`re a cult that thinks their hands are Gods the center of their
religion thing is right next to the elders apartment in Takayama...they can
perform miracles, which is cool...but it`s not in Christ names...so...wonder
who`s power their using?
-I met some yakuza in
Nagoya! That`s the Japanese Mafia. So that was cool.
-I should be getting
an Ipad next month! They already have them, they just haven`t passed them out
yet. Once we get them we`ll have everything digitilized. I`ll have to put all
the records on the ipad, which will take forever...we`ll also eventually get FB
and I will be able to read emails whenever I want, I just won`t be able to
respond to them until Monday still. So that`ll be nice.
-We had the Talent
show on Satuday! It was the craziest talent show of my life! It was such a
fail...Takoaka Elders put it on, and pretty much no one showed up, everyone in
their ward is old, so no one showed up to do a talent except for people from
our ward, so the missionaries had to come up with a bunch of acts last minute,
I did 3 of them...and I MCed haha so that was fun. Yasui shimai from our ward
dressed up as elsa with a really strange home made costume made from a table
cloth and trash bags...then after she sand she played a super random japanese
line dance, and made everyone dance with her. Which was actually super random
and super fun. For my talent I had people give me words, in English or
Japanese, then I`d turn the word into a beat. It was a crows killer. They`d
never heard of beatboxing before so everyone was pretty amazed haha. Then I
turned to a random song in the church primary book and made another elder rap
it. Haha He actually did a really good job. I forgot my camera, but my
companion might have recorded some of it, maybe I`ll put it on next week.
-Next Sunday our
mission president is coming to our ward. And it`s my birthday, so we`re trying
to get everyone to church to meet him, and using my birthday as leverage haha
-And one last thing,
we found and taught an awesomely prepared lady on monday! She teaches an art
school, so she gave us an lesson on abstract art...haha it was super random.
Then we taught her and one of her students the plan of salvation. It was super
great, best lesson I`ve had so far. We asked her to pray about if it was true
at the end of the lesson, and she was just kinda like, `I already know it`s
true` she`s a pretty special lady, she can see a bit beyond the veil I think.
Unfortunately she`s moving to tokyo in two weeks, and is gone all this week...so
we won`t be able to teach her again. We`re helping her pack/move on saturday
though, and she promised to come to the first 45 minutes of church this sunday
before she leaves. She also wanted 5 more plan of salvation pamphlets, because
she has more art students who want to know about it haha. So Tokyo will get a
nice referral of her and all her students (They`re moving with her)
Anyways, that`s all
I`ve got time for. Thank you for the prayers! Miracles are happening in
Japan!
Love you!

This is Toyama Castle,
in the city part of our area. It`s a pretty small castle`
So those hole in the ground toilets aren`t the only kind they have in Japan...They either have those...which you have to buy your own toilet paper for...and they stink...or they have these babies. It opens up when you walk in, some of them talk to you and are voice operated....they usually have seat warmers...and they can do a variety of tricks...like spray water at different angles at you...kinda weird.
