Hey everyone. This week was super awesome and I hope everyone is doing well. Before I jump into the Chiba adventures of this week, as you can see from my email title, I have officially been banished to the North so I can lose my toes. Transfer day is this Friday and we had calls last night and I didn't see me leaving as even an option. This will probably be the hardest transfer of them all. You have no Idea what I have built up in this ward and set up so much in the next two weeks with members and investigators. Starting Eiakaiwa, ping pong night, on daters. So many relationships built.... and poof I am gone. Nonetheless in reality I didn't do anything in the time spent in Narita but rather I understand that it was all God and I am so grateful for the experience that I will never forget here. The next couple days will have some hard goodbyes and departing testimonies so people get baptized. Although I can not wait until I will never have to go through a sad transfer again, I am grateful for the learning experiences and new relationships to be built. As I've said before, the people are what alters your happiness, not the place. My legendary district here with 4 missionaries from my US mission will carry on without their fearless leader and my new district I will be counselling has 3 Native Japanese so we will be back to DC in all Japanese which will be tuff but good. Alright so I will be hopping on the Shinkansen and heading to the most northern area in the mission called TSURUOKA which looks absolutely stunning, so please look up where I will be exploring for the next while. My new companion is a Beihn Chan (greenie) so that should be a good time. Anyways, enough about Transfers.... This week was awesome. I was able to spend Pday night with the district in the busted up Chiba apt and then do exchanges and blitz their area the next two days. That was so much fun. We talked to so many people and didn't really see any success but we were able to get a couple people lines. I didn't realize I would end up at the beach so much here in Japan but it's been beautiful. After that we had some good days of streeting and lessons. Everyone is busy at the airport so it's been tough lately to get people to church and finding has been tough as well but that's alright we persevere. Thanks for reading and tagging along the wild ride my mission has been. Christ lives, God answers prayers and the book blue is true.
