You know I'm reaching that stage in life where I get home and lay on the ground and "wfhh, wow I'm getting old" and then struggle just a little bit getting up again. Its quite a transition period and I'll be honest it's hitting a little younger then I was hoping for but at least I can still put on my socks without falling over 80% of the time!
Everyone, what is up! Groovin, movin, bet you never losin. This week was fantastic but wow today I gotta tell ya'll. I went and got a haircut and at first it seemed normal. Told the guy to give me the normal Japanese boy haircut that everyone has and we proceed to talking. Everything was going well when BAM, all of the sudden man drops me back and start rubbing shampoo in my hair. At first I was a little startled as I had never had this before but anyways he rinses it out and proceeds to spray steam in my face as he nearly choked me out with like 4 hot towels. Gave me a 45min shave that I will give it too him my face is baby smooth. After that he proceeds to do my eyebrows and it was then when I decided to just fully commit and enjoy it haha. After the eyebrows he whips out baby scissors and sticks them up my nose cuts all them hairs and after went and lined me up in my ears. It was crazy. He also stopped and gave me a massage half way through which I will add it was a strange message. He was kinda like yelling things and breathing quite intensely but it was awesome. It was the closest I have felt to one of those crazy Chinese lady messages you see on TV.
We also had a lesson this morning as Sumaga coached us in skating which was super fun.
Earlier in the week we went to Oyama for Zone Conference which was actually really good. Mr. President and the AP's put a lot of thought into it and it turned out very well. I was surprised. After, there I was as usual, the only responsible one who knows when the train leaves trying to get everyone to go. Haha you should of seen the look on people's faces as 4 Brazilians, a Canadian, and 3 Americans come running through the station at full speed wearing ties and white shirts, but we made it as the doors were closing and proceeded to talk to just about everyone on the train. Haha.
On Sunday we saw an amazing miracle. There is a member from the Philippines who is 26 and super cool. After church his ride came so he tried to say good bye but luckily our awesome bishop asked him to invite his ride inside. So he leaves and bishop turns to me like if they come in idk what to do so you got it right. Haha we ended up giving her a church tour and a Book of Mormon and she said that she is going to come with the member soon. Turns out she works with the member and they are just friends as of now. But one day for preparation for when they want to get married in the temple we can hopefully baptize her! The cool thing about this all is I was sitting there thinking oh man this member has got to be embarrassed. Here he is with his friend that we are bombarding with stuff and he is probably scared this could hurt their friendship. However, there was so much good that came from it and it didn't hurt a fly. So please don't be shy to invite your friends, neighbors, or even strangers to come see a worship house of the Lord.
Anyways, after church we went to Oizumi and had a fun conversation with an awesome family. Sadly they ended up not being to interested but it was good. However on the way home my companion accidentally left his phone on the train. Well luckily he doesn't live in Brazil anymore and retrieving it would be doable. It ended up leading us on quite the hunt yesterday. However, we managed to get it and only pay for about 1/8th of the actual trainage that we road so it worked out. And after that we had our first DCS meeting here and it turned out to be very productive so that was good!
Until next Time π€
