ちんぷんかんぷん

 What is up guys! This week was really good. We had perfect whether everyday. I'm talking high of 73 and low of 65 blue sky days. It has been perfect. 

Throughout this week I only remembered to write on Wednesday so we will start there.

Wednesday - Today was sweet! We had a mogi lesson in the morning with Bishop Baba and his wife and I was able to teach almost all the resto very roughly but I am making huge progress as I make it a priority to understand grammar. We later went to a nice park and had a lesson with Miu! She is a super friendly 20 year old we are teaching who lives in our area. Today was a pass of lesson from a set of sisters in another mission and man was that the most dysfunctional lesson I have ever seen. The sisters have been here for 4 months but seemed like they got to the mission field 1 week ago so me and my comp just took over from the beginning and it went super good. Then we decided to explore because we heard from our investigator Hiro that there was a big aeon mall in North Narita so we took the 30 min bike ride and boom the biggest mall I have ever seen and there were people and buildings everywhere. Sick find and we will definitely go back. On our way to the mall though we talked to someone skating that was 19 and the youth are always the best. We will hopefully be getting a bite to eat with him soon. I told him his skating was really cool and he goes no you guys are cool. 😂 After that we sent it back to Namikicho for a lesson with the legend Leesan! We had a YSA named Yui Yamamoto join the lesson as we tought about the Book of Mormon and oh man that was probably one of the best lessons I have ever been a part of. She is so excited to read and after mentally breaking down after we asked her she said the closing prayer! After we went home I whipped up some mean katsudon... let me tell you, just wait till you get some of my katsudon. It will blow your mind. Next to learn is okinomiyaki. I love cooking out of nowhere which is great because it makes eating good easy haha!

As for the rest of the week we saw lots of success. On Friday we started up our in person eikaiwa class for the first time nearly in nearly 3 years and we got 6 people to come! Which isn't a lot but it's a start and it went super well. Not 1 person in the room had every heard of faith before and had no concept of It. 

I cant' really remember Saturday but we probably had some good streeting experiences. 

Sunday though was a really good day. I was able to talk the best I have ever in Japanese. I had a lengthy conversation with my boy Seiya who is a YSA in the ward who teaches us all the informal Japanese we shouldn't use like バカにするand むじ etc..  haha. And then out streeting later I felt pretty comfortable talking to people, obviously on a very basic level. Later on Sunday we met up with Yui again at the mall and taught her more about the Book of Mormon and gave her a copy! Also at church there was an American there on business as a pilot and he took us out to eat lunch yesterday and his Japanese was insane. After his mission he went back and lived in Japan for 3 years and it was way better than me or my comps haha. Anyways, he told us a bunch of stories from his mission and was really cool and then latter that night while streeting it had just got dark so we went to the Eki and there where a bunch of college students which was perfect. After talking to some of them we where walking around and we pass this girl that I thought was like 13 so I didn't say anything but my comp stops her and apparently she goes to the college and completely unexpectedly was down to meet in the church to talk about Jesus and was super nice. It was really cool.

I guess that sums up this week.

Also if anyone is wondering I have felt about 10 small earthquakes since getting here.

Pray for me that I can learn this language thx😘

パーちゃん
