Well. It was a busy week of shokujis. The Kōhoku is really REALLY amazing. My companion and the other missionary in our apartment that has been out a year have already tripled the amount they've had on their entire mission. You should see the fruit baskets the Shimai and we have had. We have soooo many snacks and stuff. It's great. The ward also puts huge boxes out for all the wards missionaries that the ward then puts a bunch of candy to send to them. It's so funny to see the pictures the missionaries send with their giant packages.
It was also Shōgatsu or New Years yesterday so it wasn't really a good dendo time anyways I guess. I also got to spend some time at the hospital with Hall Chōrō and a member. That was interesting. We had to wait for almost two whole hours before he was admitted. And that was the SECOND place we went to. The first place told us they didn't know what was wrong with him and he should go to a larger hospital instead.
This morning we woke up at 5:30 to climb to the church roof to watch the sunrise. (It's a thing to watch the first sunrise of the year in Japan but we apparently we weren't supposed to on the first day because it was Sunday.) So we went this morning and waited about two hours until it became apparent we weren't going to be able to see it because of the clouds.. It was fun though, just REALLY cold.
I've been thinking a lot about an experience the amazing Strauss Kyoudai shared with us. I won't share his experience, but I'll sum up the lesson he taught us and what he learned. He told us about how when we serve people (Mosiah 2:17) we get the great blessing of seeing and feeling just a part of Gods love for them. As we work at this, and try our best to serve people to help them feel Gods love for them, that part of Gods love that we experience slowly becomes our love as well.
Anyway. I didn't have much to say today. Have a good week everyone.
