Hey everybody! I hope your week went well! Mine was super busy but it

was fun! We had Transfers this week but my district only had two

people transfer, and one come in (there was a three-some). So the

missionaries I interact with most, didn't really change! Also, this

transfer, not only am I a Zone Leader, I'm also my District's District

Leader! So that'll be fun, but probably a little difficult... Oh well,

God will help me.

But Monday we had our District Activity! We went to a park called

Yurigahara Koen and we played there for about an hour, and then we

went to a Tabehodai (all you can eat) place and it had All you can eat

Yakiniku which was actually pretty good! Also the ice cream was just

fabulous there! ;)

Tuesday we had DTM and it was good! Elder S did his workshop on

the Gift of the Holy Ghost and Enduring to the End, so it was way

good! Then we came back and had Eikaiwa and that was fun!

Wednesday we tried a new type of Dendo with a member that didn't turn

out to be too effective, but we were able to talk to a really nice

family and play catch with a little boy for a while!

Thursday we went to the Higashi Eikaiwa because they now are two

Japanese Elders there, so they needed someone to teach it. So we went

and had a really good time. We also taught our investigator O san

today and had a good time. He works at a Soba shop and works 15

hours a day, 6 days a week! It's crazy! But he's way nice, and he

wants to be baptized so we're working with him as much as possible!

Friday we had Mission Leader Council at Honbu with everybody and it

was so fun! We learned a ton there and are excited to teach our Zone

what we learned at Zone Training Meeting on Tuesday this coming week!

Saturday we did a ton of planning for the Zone Training Meeting, as

well as went to an All you can eat place with a member named K

Kyodai. He is super nice and loves missionaries! He is a carpenter and

loves fishing too so it's fun to talk with him.

Sunday was great! I really do love Fast Sundays! We had a great time

at church and I got a bunch of revelation for what I need to do for

the next little bit, and it was just a great day altogether.

That was basically the week in a nutshell, but it was fun! Love

you all lots, and I'll talk to you soon!
