Called To Serve-Sapporo, Japan : Bean Shower

What a week!

Let me get that sad news out of the way. We have an investigator with a baptisimal date, but she is having health issues and said she can`t come to church or meet with us for a while. I think she is scared and using that to delay her baptism. But we are going to get her baptized!

On a good note we found this cute little mom with adorable kids! WE WANT A FAMILY TO TEACH SO BADLY! So hopefully good things happen there. I think our other investigator is going to start reading the BOM finally! I am so excited for her!

Ok so let me just break this week down by day:

Monday- We went to a members house and did this towel exercise thing. It was hilarious! And so bizarre actually. But then we ate some good food so no compaints here.

Tuesday- It rained like crazy! We got lost (we usually do) and showed up to our appointment soaking wet. But we taught a cool lesson about the Plan of Salvation so wahoo!

Wednesday- Once again we got lost. So we housed forever. Then decided we needed to recollect our thoughts so what did we do, we ate! We went to this way good Himalayan Curry place. Oh man, food is far too good here.

Thursday- We went with an investigator and her friend to get Okonomiyaki, which is like this fried cabbage cake with a bunch of goodies in it. WE ATE SO MUCH! I don`t know why people have the misconception that the Japanese don`t eat very much because they do! This little Japanese woman was packing it away! I was just trying not to throw up!

Friday- We headed to Kushiro for Zone Training Meeting. Sometimes the huge Somoan Elder in your district does the splits on the train. Like, what?

Saturday- We had Zone Training Meeting. I had to lead the Missionary Purpose In Japanese, and totally messed up. Oh well! At the end every gave me and the two new missionaries a Bean SHower. They littleraly showered us with little gifts. It was awesome! Also it was our dear President`s Birthday. So we showered him with gifts. Sister Johnson and I made him a pretty sweet tie!

Sunday- I had to pray in Sacrament. It was short. Then we ended the week by playing barbies in a members Gankon with her daughter for far too long!

Sorry, this email is long, but this week was fun! It is starting to get cold here... Not looking forward to a Hokkaido winter! The work is hard and slow, but We just keeping pushing on. Heavenly Father knows there is work to be done here, so I need to have faith and trust Him!

I hope you all have a great week.

OH! We saw the ocean on our train ride to Kushiro! It was the best!
