We are finally moved. The new apartment has had quite a few issues. In fact it still has a lot of issues... But I love it. I think it's awesome. Things we gained: WAY more space, an actual kitchen table, a sweet tatami room with a place to put our family shrine (which now has a Christmas tree in it, its great) more sliding doors but really old style ones (we think it was actually really old but now refurbished) and new dishes and normal stuff like that that we needed. The current issues are that we still don't have any lights in the study rooms, kitchen and tatami room. Also, only one heater in the whole apartment works so it's been pretty cold. But everything is slowly being worked out, it's great.
I'll probably buy a bike today since my companion just got his delivered this week. So that should be fun.
The miracle of the week is that yesterday we went to visit a less active member, but we got a little bit lost. Suddenly, the ward mission leader comes down the road. He points us down the right street. So then, we are in the correct neighborhood but can't for the life of us work out which way the house is. So we are standing trying to decipher the map when suddenly a sister from the Kōhoku ward comes over the hill. She showed us exactly where the member lived (which we never even got close to finding) and so we finally made it. That was pretty funny, and we kept joking that it might happen again when we spent most of the rest of the day lost again trying to finds less active members we decided to try to visit.
The weather is weird. It's definitely on the colder side now, but sometimes it still just feels like fall. I don't know when it will start to get really cold.
The Kōhoku ward is great. I sure hope I don't get moved this transfer because I feel like I'm just barely getting to know these people. It's been kinda frustrating not finding anyone to teach but I guess that's just how it goes sometimes.
I saw the banners for the new Star Wars movie going up. That was weird to think that it's been that long already. I am also trying to get my facebook up to the mission standard so that I can use that so you may see some short posts I share there from time to time.
Oh, also we live next to the futuristic-Japanese version of Bag End. They are the landlord I believe.
Hmm I do believe that may be it for this week. Everyone should get involved with the Church's Christmas theme thing this year "Light the World" because it's awesome. Try to do one of the challenges everyday!
Ready for picture/movie overload?
