Kouhoku Ward, Yokohama

Yup. Finally here. It's as great as I remember it of course. It's
really hard. I can't really talk to anyone at all. We're in Yokohama
in the Kouhoku ward. We're both new to this area so we are just
looking for people to teach. I've seen like four or five people with
lacrosse sticks so far which I thought was really funny. I did talk to the lacrosse stick people. The first one I saw was our
first day when we were running to a park. Our mission home is in the
same city as studio ghibli by the way.
Draper Chōrō is completely fluent. He is insanely good at Japanese, and not just speaking, he can read really well. Which is not normal for missionaries as far as I know. Everyone is super impressed by his Japanese skills.

I did get to go through Shibuya on the way to our area, so that was fun. I didn't get a picture though. I figured it wouldn't be appropriate because it's outside our mission area. It was cool to see it though. Shibuya is the busiest crossing in the world. It's a huge shopping district.

The apartment is supposed to be for two. We were supposed to be moving into a new apartment but they lost it the day they went to sign so we're going to be moving later this month to a different four person apartment. The cardboard boxes are our table.

There is an elder in my district who can do the mask salesman
laugh and he can play a ton of Zelda songs on the piano SUPER SUPER
well.

I love the Japanese people though. And happy Japanese people are probably the best people in the whole world. It was funny to go to sacrament meeting and see that it's pretty much exactly the same thing. You still have the loud children with parents trying to keep them calm, the funny old people, stuff like that. It's great.
