Hello everyone!
Well it was a good week in Okinawa. It is weird adjusting to
to life with Americans, and warm weather. But it is a good life. We have a box
of poptarts in our apartment, and 1. I havent seen anything with that much
sugar in it since I left the MTC 2. there was a picture of some Justin Beiber
look-alike on the box that I had never seen before. Austin Maloone, Malone,
Maloon? How long have I been gone for? Why don't I know this pretty boy on my
poptart box? Oh, and we got Cheerios and I read the back of my cereal box. That
was a miracle for the day.
But the work here is good. I am not going to lie, it is kind
of slow but we have a lot of fun! We have been trying to find 1 Japanese and 1
American investigator in order to learn how to teach in both languages. Well
guess what? We found an American investigator! We got a referral from the
senior couple who heard there was a girl on base looking for a church to go to!
She has been to a lot of other churches in the past, and wants to check out our
church! So one of our fabulous ward members gave her a ride, she came to church
and we have an appointment with her this Saturday! We are excited (and scared)
to teach in English!
Yesterday was stake conference for the WHOLE island of
Okinawa for the Japaneses members, so we got to see all the missionaries on the
whole island, even President and Sister Gustafson came! Scary! Long story
short, with all three wards there, we were at the church for 10 hours. I think
i am turning into dad! But it was good and a lot of fun but we were starving
when we came home, we could barely bike the 10 minutes home! We love fast
Sunday's, don't you feel like you are just getting so many more blessings? I
love it.
We had a super awkward lesson this week when we taught our
cute investigator about honoring and obeying the law, and she revealed to us
all of the criminal things she did as a teenager, we couldn't help but laugh
because it was so funny. Oh teenagers are dumb. But it kind of ruined the whole
'Spiritual' aspect to the lesson! hahahahah But we love her and we are going to
see a castle with her today.
YES
I spoke to Nick Green! (A cousin from Vegas who is ward clerk in Pres.
Finlayson’s branch) he is so cool!! he went in to give me a hug and I didnt
know what to do! He hugged me, and I just stood there hahahahahah awkward
missionary probs...But I met him and his wife and his three kids and he said he
will invite us over for dinner some night, and I can send stuff from his
address, or you can send stuff to him! He was way cool, we were trying to
remember all of the Swapp family history stuff...rough stuff. We will have to
brush up on that. We both know wandering home, and going on a lion hunt!
hahaha
Hope you have a fantastic week! love you!!
