Hey everybody! This week went way well! It was also
Transfers so that was kinda cool...
Monday: Today we didn't have music practice! But we
still went to Sapporo to email and talk to people at Honbu (mission home)... We also went to
another famous Ramen place in Sapporo so that was kinda fun too! We then
went home, and had dinner with the ZL's and a member at the way good Kabob
place! But other than that it was a pretty normal day...
Tuesday: Today we got Transfer calls! If you
haven't heard, I'm going to Asahikawa and will be serving in the 2nd ward!
The area is so big they split it into two, and there is a ward in each
with a lot of active members which is great! My companion is F Choro, a native Japanese Elder and he is super awesome! It is a two man appartment though so that'll be
a bit of a change for me... ;) Then we went and said goodbye to a few
investigators and members and then had Eikaiwa (English class) which was super fun! Then I
packed for a bunch of time tonight!
Wednesday: So today was more packing, visiting more
members and investigators and more packing! One of our investigators actually
gave me a little bye bye present that was a Koi(the type of fish)
sweatshirt that is super cool! I'll try to remember to send a picture! ;) But
ya today was a lot of packing...
Thursday: Today was transfer day as well as music
practice and we were supposed to have all of our music memorized! Well I
definitely got close for a few of the songs... ;) In my defense though, I
have 5 to memorize, they are in a different language, and I have no time to do
it! My solo is memorized though so that was a relief. I didn't say it was good,
but it's memorized... ;) Then we took the 3 hour bus ride to Asahikawa and I'm
very excited for this transfer!
Friday: Today was pretty good! We had DKK (Companionship Meeting) where I
found out about our investigators, we planned for the week, and set goals for
the Transfer! We also had Eikaiwa, so my 2nd time this week, and went home
and did the usual. The Asahikawa Eikaiwa has some really good English speakers!
It was kinda fun to hear English a little more than Japanese at Eikaiwa... ;)
Saturday: Great day again! We went to an appointment
with a team up which happened to be the Stake President! The
appointment fell through, but we went with him to visit some non attending
members. Then we went to this street called Kaimono Koen which is
basically a bunch of shops and we tried to street there. It was a pretty fun
day!
Sunday: So today I had to give a little self-intro as
well as a little talk in Sacrament meeting, and it just so happens, that even
after being Darcy in front of a bunch of people, I still have stage fright! Who
would've guessed? ;) I wrote down a bullet point list of what I wanted to say
and really thought it out hard, and then I got up there to speak and it was all
gone. I got out a small portion of what I wanted to say, and pretended that I
just didn't know enough Japanese, and went back to my seat. ;) Then
we had a Takoyaki party with the Young Single Adults after Church which was
fun, and had an appointment with a really cool investigator with the Dendo
Shunin(ward mission leader) who is going on his mission to Kobe in March! Fun
stuff!
Well my week went well, I hope all of your's did too!
Talk to you soon! Love you lots! You're in my prayers!
