The email Peter sent said specifically that it was not to be with everyone - it was just for us - but I think it was because it was just about the video games and Japanese culture things that he is interested it that he has found among the members in his area. Nothing terrible, just not of a spiritual nature either - although he did say that one of the members uses Yu-gi-oh cards as bookmarks in his scriptures. :)
I will share this part that relates to their English language classes -
There is a new Eikaiwa program starting soon that sounds like it'll be pretty fun. We're going to be much more open about being missionaries and wanting to share the gospel instead of trying to keep the service and religious stuff separate. It'll make people a lot less suspicious that it's a persuasion method hopefully. We're also going to focus on high school aged kids for the eiken an important English test and middle aged people for the toeic another big test. Specifically on the conversation portions. Hopefully we get all the new flyers and banners and stuff for it soon.
What he talked about most in our email conversation (short as it was) was learning Shogi. He is really enjoying this traditional Japanese board game.

| Peter:This is Frank. He is Taiwanese and travels around all the missions inasia selling things to missionaries. Haha you can get anything from him. Me:Black market dealer, huh? Can he get you the sword from the master edition of Breath of the Wild? :D Peter:Ha, maybe. |
And the rest of his pictures, unfortunately a couple of them were too dark to see so I didn't include them.
