Well, I'm reporting from the blazing
hot area of Takabata. I have sadly already dropped off Elder Jessop. I was
super sad to say bye, this was an amazing transfer. The last week was way fun.
But first off, my new companion is Elder Bardzinski (a red head from Down
Under)!!! Remember him from when I was in Fuji? Yes, this is his last transfer
too, so we will have fun all over again.
As for this week, we went to get
halo halo (Filipino shaved ice) with a member. It was way good and way fun. She
is crazy, I love seeing Japanese guys marrying foreigners. It makes them a lot
goofier and fun. It was way good though.
Yes, I did watch the end of the All
Star game this week. We went to an Indian curry place and they had it playing
on the big TV. It was awesome. I didn't see much though, it was already 8 to 0
and all I saw was Joe Mauer get a hit. It still made me happy. Billy Butler
struck out lookin' silly, Kansas City is just a disappointment.
Eikaiwa was way fun. We played a
game after a short lesson. The game was, "Do You Love Your Neighbor?".
It was way fun, everyone got into it. then we had a bunch of people bring food
and surprise Elder Jessop. Tt was a lot of fun. I got a way cool Japanese
scroll from Komatsu san with my favorite scripture written in kanji. She does
calligraphy. It looks beautiful. Then we had a final party for Elder Jessop in
DTM too. Our district changed a lot. I'm sad that both of the District Leaders
I have to go on exchanges with are a little different. I guess you can't have everything haha.
We did 'heart attacks' to three
families. Where you put a bunch of cut out hearts on their door and surprise
them. But the Komatsus came out when we were doing it. We got away without them
seeing, but they walked around and we were literally running from one hiding
spot to the next. It was way funny. They ended up putting notes and soda into
our bike helmets. We will never be able to one up the Komatsus. I love them to
death, they came and said bye to Elder Jessop this morning and they were so
sad. But they were happy I am still here. I really hope Mio can get baptized
this transfer.
We did the last day of Homestay. Nothing
too special happened last week. I did find out two of the kids are staying in
Bountiful and they are doing a dance in the 24th of July parade! Try to find
them! Elder Jessop is going to try and go. But then, we had two huge dinners
that night. The Matsuhashi, old missionary couple, made us a huge meal and then
Ko and Hoberto took us out for yaki niku and then to an ashiyu!!! It felt so
great and it was way fun. We did all these fun poses and tricks.
Church was amazing yesterday. Elder
Jessop gave an amazing final talk yesterday, I can really tell he will miss Japan
a lot. Then we sang 'I Know That My Redeemer Lives' in English and Japanese and
it was beautiful. We had a bunch of less actives come, including Nancy and
Karen., which made me way happy. It was a super spiritual meeting. The day
ended off great with a sukiyaki party at our ward mission leaders house. This
was the best transfer, I loved every second of it.
LOVE YOU,
Elder Parry
