Sounds like a busy fun
week.
I haven't seen much about the switch or Zelda here weirdly enough. It
seems that because things like those are so widely accepted, they just
don't stick out or need to at all. Or maybe it's just because of where
I am.
This week was kind of weird. Well, last week, we had an emergency
transfer in our district. Morris Shimai had to be moved to another
zone to make up for a missionary leaving. Then yesterday we got the
news we all expected and yet didn't believe. Sakae Chōrō is being
moved to the office as the new commisarian. He'll go for training on
Thursday at which point I will be with Chao Chōrō and Farnsworth
Chōrō. It's too bad but also exciting.
Yesterday, one of our potential investigators randomly showed up to
church with his grandson! They came to mochi tsuki last week and he
did mention he wanted to come to church sometime. Well he came. It was
pretty good. Sacrament meeting was a little crazy because we were
struggling to keep his grandson occupied. Some of the mothers gave him
books to look at but he just had too much energy. Eventually, some of
the other kids came over to sit quietly and draw and look at pictures
with him to give him a better example. It was good and it worked out
in the end. We'll have to figure something better in the future
though.
Also, that morning a kid a little younger than us emailed us at 6:00
in the morning telling us he was going to come to church. Well, he
didn't show up. He texted us later saying he lost the courage to come.
Sakae Chōrō texted him back hoping to help him out. He didn't respond
but after sacrament meeting, we found out he had come sometime during
the meeting and commented on what a great hymn the last one was and
what a wonderful atmosphere the people and building had. Hopefully
that will help him get over his worry about church.
It ended up being kind of a crazy week but it was good.

Yeah, it'll be weird
when I eventually have a "normal" transfer.
The guy with the
grandson is pretty cool. He is super into Harley Davidson and has a prosthetic
leg from a crash last year. He is a nice guy. His grandson is awesome. Japanese
kids are the best but sometimes a hassle because they are SO SO much more
independent than American kids.
Sounds like he is mostly
raising him... We just found out yesterday that his son is only 22. His grandson
is 4. So.. yeah.
Chao Chōrō is from
Sacramento, Farnsworth is from Arkansas but has lived mostly out of the states
because his dad works for Walmart. Commisarian takes care of ordering anything
needed for apartments and finding new apartments and stuff like that.
I forgot to tell you that
I saw one of the bless 4 members at stake
conference. He is the youngest one that served in California. He goes
to Machida second ward I guess. (Meet the Mormons)

The family in it live in
this mission. Also at least two of the Japanese I'm a Mormon video people live
in this mission as well. It's just where a majority of the members live
because it's where the church started here.
Oh no, I forgot to tell
you about the Beatles! Haha. Or rather "the
beatless" as they are called. I guess they are a group that really
love the Beatles so they got together and play Beatles songs. They
played at the church but unfortunately during our district meeting so
we didn't get to watch!
