The basketball game against BYU sounds like it was
awesome! The Utes are back!!
Here's my week:
Last p-day was great! We built a gingerbread house
because one of the elder's mom sent them a kit. It was super fun, and I'll send
a picture of it. We also taught a Nihonjin who converted 23 years ago. He told
M. Shimai and I not to worry about the language because we "radiated"
and a lot of people would be attracted to us. He was super nice!
Sunday was great, as usual! Nothing extra special
happened, except for M Shimai and I taught Sunday School, and we sang "One
Small Babe" in choir. I've never heard that song before, but it was super
pretty. Look it up if you can! That alto part rocks in that song. Also, we had
the BYU Men's Chorus come perform for devotional. They were amazing! There is
something good about BYU!
Monday nothing really exciting happened. We learned that
you sound smart in Japan if you can get the particles right, so I'm screwed
haha. The particles are super tough, but I'm beginning to understand them more.
But yeah, nothing else really exciting happened.
Tuesday was great. We taught one of our investigators,
Sato san, and that went well. We had Elder Ronald Rasband of the seventy speak
to us in devotional, and he actually spoke at the Christmas Devotional! So it
was super cool to see him again. Since it's Christmas, he spoke about spiritual
gifts. Speaking of which, I think I get to email on Christmas! I'm not 100%
sure, that's just what I've heard. So we'll see! I've been so busy with
learning Japanese and getting ready to go that I've totally forgotten about
Christmas. Also, I got the package that day. Thanks so much! It was great.
Wednesday was crazy! We hosted, and it was insane. I
hosted 6 sisters, so I never had a break. It was always, go, go, go. So it was
pretty fun! The MTC makes the world a very small place. We also got to Skype
church members in Nihon that night! We talked to Miki san for a little bit, who
showed us her akachan (baby), and he was the cutest thing! When we were talking
to her, M Shimai accidentally told Miki san that she had three sons and a
daughter. It was so funny! She recovered quickly though. Then we talked to
another Nihonjin for a little bit. It was a cool experience!
Thursday was sad. We said goodbye to our teacher that's
been with us since Day 1. It was so sad! We found out what happened to real
John (we've been teaching him as one of our investigators). He was baptized in
the Pacific Ocean, and a year later went to the temple with his family. So
cute! I also had the first Nihonjin laugh at my name that day. Haha the first
of many, I assume!
Yesterday we got our flight plans!! Ahh it's crazy that
we are leaving! The MTC has been wonderful, it really goes by super fast.
Well I hope you all have a great week, and a great
Christmas!! I hope I get to email on the day! I love you all, and miss you so
much. I'll talk to you soon!
