| Went to Fukuoka for training this week! |
Before anyone else says it, I KNOW tomorrow marks my 11
months mark!! It's crazy!! Where does the time go!! But I still haven't reached
my year mark, so we are ok!
This week was good! I was able to go back to my beloved city
of Fukuoka for training!! Where I got to see COOK SHIMAI my MTC companion! We
went through so much together, it is always so fun to see her! And my first
area! It was so weird, I kept having flashbacks where I was freezing on my bike,
or running away from members because I couldn't understand what they were
saying to me! hahah I can't believe I am already on transfer 7!
We were able to help one of our investigators at the dentist
this week! The dentist is fun, but weird. They even take off their shoes when
they go to the dentist!! So we put on slippers, and then the person that sits
in the seat to get worked on, takes off the slippers so they are just getting
worked on in their socks!! It does make it have a more "homey" feel
to it!! But I am getting used to never wearing shoes, so I hope you don't judge
me.
This week we also had an open house! President has asked
that all areas have an open house to get non-members to be able to come see the
building in a non-scary environment (sorry, I am starting to really forget
English! Even when I think hard about words, they don't come!) But our goal was
to get 10 people to come!! We gave every member 10 flyers, and asked them to
hand them out. We ended up getting SIX people that were members friends, ONE
potential investigator (somebody that the other sisters in our area work with),
and THREE middle school boys off of the street, which adds up to TEN!! We did
it! we hit our goal!! We were so excited! It ended up being way good! We just
set up the church like it would look at church, put some nice music in each
room, and would just explain each room in 2-3 minutes! It went really well and
even got to hand out a couple copies of the Book of Mormon, and got their
numbers and addresses! So we were excited about that!
I also got a package from the Young Women this week! It made
me so happy! I was SO SURPRISED!! It was marvelous!! And perfect timing, I had
just biked home in the beginning part of a typhoon, so i was drenched and a
little embarrassed from how often my skirt kept flying up while biking in the
wind! But it was so good to see all the notes that the girls wrote me! So fun!
I felt the love!!
Have a great week! I love you!
