I knew Dad was going to be in the
bishopric. That means he has to hook me up with a good homecoming talk theme
(none at all would be nice, I can whip something out). But I heard about all
the Boston and the Texas bombings. People in Japan knew it was terrorist stuff
and they seem to cheer on the US. I don't really understand why either why
America gets bombed all the time. Makes living in the land of the free and the
home of the brave(s) a bit more difficult eh.
I was super sorry to hear about
Caroline's week. I don't really know what to say besides stay strong. God didn't
let this happen because He wanted her suffer. He has reason. I have come to
figure that out on the mission. There is still so much that I don't understand
out here that God has let happen. I wish you could just pray and do everything
you are supposed to and it would all work out. Just remember: Life is Good, God
is Good.
This week was a great one. Easily
said. We did a district activity on Monday and went to a castle in Toyama then
the district stayed at the apartment that night and we all went to Kanazawa for
interviews together. My interview was amazing with President Baird. First, I
got my temple recommend renewed and did the interview in Japanese. Pretty cool.
Then I just had a fun talk with president. Talked about the mission, home,
sports, the good stuff. I shared some stuff from my patriarchal blessing and
just asked what I should do to feel satisfaction and do my best before I go
home. Way good advice and just had a solid time.
We had yet another Eikaiwa party, I'm
a good host now. Everyone wants a party with the Boob. then it just rained and
winded all week. (don't judge, it's my new vocabulary). We had an interesting
lunch after district meeting with a member from Takayama. She is crazy, a
35-year-old that really needs to get married. Saturuday was rainy and
miserable. We had a lesson with our new investigator Yuka. She is that girl
from Eikaiwa who was born with PDD and has Asburger's syndrome. We had a way
good lesson, then she came to sports night! We also had Anderson and Louise,
our other investigators come too. We played basketball and it was way fun. I am
way crappy now. A bunch of people from Toyama, including the missionaries came
too.
Sunday was a big day, Yuka came to
church and were with her for six hours, church and the church potluck after.
She was talking with us a ton, had an amazing time, and made way good friends.
She gets nervous in new environments. She talked with the bishop's wife for a
long time and ended up crying revealing all of her family problems. It was really
special. She is only 27 years old, has the syndrome, and wants a solid
Christian-based family that is tough to get in Japan. She is one of my favorite
people ever. We met my other favorite people and visited Andarise (the big
three). Had a way good time and made a solid plan to quit smoking!
I can't believe I only have six
weeks left. It still hasn't completely sunk in yet. It hit a little talkin to
President. Tell Kari I'm way happy for her. I love my family, we the best.
Love the Boob
