Transfer

Well, hello there.

 

This week made me really love my area Hachinohe!

This week we had Zone conference which was way fun! 

Our zone (Aomori) decided that they wanted to do a play of Jesuss birth and I was lucky enough to be Joseph for it! Lucky me. We didn't have any practice either because there is no time to meet together as a zone to practice it. But I still think it went very well. And don't worry, my head was covered with a cloth so people didnt have to stare at my bald spot. :)

Thank you so much for the lettters I really appreciated them and it certainly helped me realize how much love there really is around me. 

This week was a pretty exciting one, it made me absolutley love Hachinohe. I had the opportunity to go and teach an English class at a high school and I had no idea that I was supposed to teach. Literally I just walked in, ate dinner with the teacher, and she said, hey I have to grade the students tests today so you'll be teaching for about an hour today. I was a little bit panicked, cause I had like 5 minutes to prepare. So I said a quick prayer and asked Heavenly Father to help me think of ideas and things to do with this class and that it would just be a good time. So we started class and it was honestly SOOO fun! I made everyone do introductions and played games and talked about America with them. And the best part is is that they asked what Elder meant.... Hee hee i could then preach to them. So we shared what Elder meant and why we call everyone Brothers and Sisters. Then one of them asked what the meaning of Christmas was. So I got to share with them the meaning of Christmas and so basically I taught thirty or so students at one time. I had a blast! Its amazing how far a simple prayer can go. I actually ended up teaching for 2 and half hours because it was so fun and the students really enjoyed it and wouldn't let me leave.

This week we were able to visit one of our potential investigators.  It was a lady I had found clear back in the summer when I first came.  We haven't been able to get ahold of her because she is always busy but we we have been able to talk to her family in the past and finally this Sunday we were able to get ahold of her and shared a message about the restoration and we got her phone number and we will teach her family! Yeah! 

This week also one of our old investigators came to an activity.  We had zone conference so we only got there at the last few minutes of the activity.  We weren't able to see him, but the branch President came and said that he wanted to talk to us because he lost his job recently and wants to talk to the missionaries again. So we have an appointment with him today to eat dinner and talk some things over.

And of course, things start to liven up here and I WILL TENKIN! I will transfer. Im transferring to Aizuwakamatsu! Basically the other end of the mission! Crazy! I will be companions with the Disrtict leader. I'm super excited but I am so sad to leave Hachinohe because I know that I might not see these wonderful people again. But I know that the Lord's work must continue.

 

Love you all and hope to hear from you again soon! Sorry I don't have more time to write!
