23 July 2017

I haven't got my transfer call, so I have no news about that yet.

So on last Monday, it happened. I ate a lot of sushi. Yup. A lot of
sushi. It's not as if I like it or I would ever choose to again if I
had a choice, but if someone says eat it then I can do it.
It's really not that bad though. It's just not something I enjoy eating. I like looking at it though.

There was a long earthquake the other day. Pretty fun.

Oh and apparently the Japanese communist party loves to meet at kōfu
station. They had a BIG rally which consisted of them standing on top
of a van with loud speakers and a voice changer. It was super creepy
and felt like something out of a movie.

We tried to have a movie party with the Eikaiwa students and other
investigators. Everyone sounded really excited about it. No one showed
up.. EXCEPT the sisters investigator from Taiwan. She is really bright
and happy all the time. She is getting baptized next month.

There was also a big car show at the station. Our double Dutch friends
performed as well. Pretty cool.

I don't know what's up with Kōfu station that brings in so many people
and crazy events but it's fantastic.

Email from President Warnick - 

Dear loved ones of the wonderful missionaries in the Japan Tokyo South Mission,

 

We love your missionary!  We are grateful for the privilege of serving together and we are blessed by the faith and examples of these servants of the Lord Jesus Christ.

For your information, our mission has been asked to change our transfer schedule beginning next January.  As a result, all subsequent transfer dates, and, by extension, return dates, will be moved back by three weeks.  For example, according to the old schedule, the January group would be returning on January 12th but that has now been moved to February 2nd.   The return date for the next group was scheduled for February 23rd but that will now be March 16th.

The default will be to have each missionary stay three weeks beyond the original plan in order to accommodate this change.  We’ve asked the missionaries to confirm with families whether this will work.   If not, we can arrange for the missionary to leave three weeks earlier than the original plan.

Thank you for your understanding.   We are deeply grateful for your support of your missionary in the service of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Warm regards,

President Warnick
