hey i hope this letter finds everyone good this week, especially you dad, i know its a little early but i think your having your party right now anyway so HAPPY BIRTHDAY or 誕生日おめでとうございます . Hope you have a good one. dont get to old while im gone ok? we have a lot of tennis matches and stuff like that to ｄo.
Anyway so this week was a nother great week. it started off with junkai or splits with the zone leaders. It was cool to be able to dendou with them. It gave me a new enthuasism for it and we had a lot of fun while doing it. It was a good experience for sure.
well lets see im feeling better today ive been kind of sick the last week and a half with a cold cough thing but doing better. in japan everyone is super paranoid of that stuff so everyone wears these masks as i display very well in my picture.
anyway umm A lady in our ward made us a very good dinner one night as seen in my picture as well, it was really good but i dont know what it was really besides the ton katsu. o and the weird thing i ate this week was raw squid and salmon and shrimp at the 105yen sushi bar. it was all good but the squid was pretty chewy, but i like raw salmon though its good. but im starting to like that stuff alot more.
anyway this week we had a lesson with our only progressing investigator, tsunenari. hes really nice man,about 50. it was our first lesson cause hes been in hokkaido. he started it off with like a 5 minute prayer. it was really cool, hes a nice man and has heard all the lessons, so hopefully we can commit him to baptism in the next month but hes back in hokkaido this week again so its slow, other thant hat i talked to one single mother when housing which was a cool experience. she had 2 kids and we shared with here some scriptures. i bore my testimony about you guys my family. i was kind of blunt but felt i needed to be. i said, ... im only 19, i miss my family alot. your family to is wonderful and this book (bom) hasd really blessed and guided my family. i just told her how i felt and i think she liked that. we gave her a BOM and were going to visit her again this week i hope she becomes an investigator but who knows. Her kids liked us and gave me candy. all three of them were reading from the bom in the genkan though it was a special experience for sure, if all else fails a seed was planted.
oh and one other thing is yesterday i got to shimabara. we drove with brother chikuba and his wife. we went through the mountains and a narrow windy steep road. japanese mountains are beautiful and the leaves are different colors as well. it reminded me of utah, the windy roads in santa cruz mountains and our drives to and from our sweet camping trip. it was an hour drive and was really cool to just sit in my thoughts. anyway thats about it for me this week.
on thursday we have zone conference in fukuoka (elder stevenson is coming, his son is our AP) and saturday i will be celebrating thangsgiving in sasebo with american members from the base so that should be really cool as well. so thats life for me in japan. have a good week!
