KAZOKU!!! (family)Yay for week Two!!! It's so crazy how short but LONG these two weeks been! I have already learned so much! Just last Tuesday we got to hear from President Nelson!!!! It was so good!!! I loved it so much! Also Sorensen Shimai is super excited because she found out The National Parks are 57 on the pop charts!!!! Also she is glad you like the album!! Also just remember all the violin you listen to on that album is Sorensen shimai!!Yesterday was really hard! But I was sitting there reading the PMG and all of a sudden I hear Callie Stay? I look up and it was my friend Lauren Hafen!!! I was so excited to see here! I haven't really been that excited to see anyone here before! So it was great!! Then I saw Kaeley which was great, then I saw Lauren again before dinner! It was such a tender mercy to be able to here such encouraging words from Lauren, because I was having a hard time with Japanese! But I know there is a reason that I am called here!! I don't want to be anywhere else! But I am doing Great now!
So the Shimai tachi (sisters) in my district and I are really struggling with our Chourou tachi (elders) in our district! They get distracted easily, they aren't obedient, they don't invite the spirit! It's been hard. They talk about worldly things and I sometimes wonder why they are even here! But we try to love them and set an example! But sometimes we have really great moments with them! We feel really close yet sometimes I feel like we aren't even that close like some other districts! So that's sad!This week we started to teach two new investigators! It's been good, and I feel like we go in there prepared! It is difficult because we don't know that much Japanese! So it's hard to follow the spirit! But we got feed back from the teacher who is one of our investigators and he said that we brought the spirit and he really felt like we met his needs! so that was good to hear! Also we had TRC which is pretty much just like FHE with other returned missionaries that went to Japan!! It was a lot of fun!! I've also wanted to get to know the other shimai tachi that came in with us and really know them, because next week, on monday and Tuesday the Senpai (older missionaries) leave to actually go to Japan!!! So we wanted to be close enough to them so when the others leave we still have some people to talk to!I just Love Sorensen Shimai! I have loved getting to know her and who she is! OH!!!! NEWS!!!!! On sunday, we were sitting in sacrament meeting and a Brother Adamson, (who you don't know...) came over to us and told us that we were going to be called as the music coordinators!! And this was right before sacrament meeting!! So that's cool! We have a calling!Other than that, Um.... the food is still super good! We haven't been going to the morning classes because we decided that we like sleep..... but we do go to Gym at 6:40!! so... that's cool!! I also feel like I can talk to anyone! I LOVE meeting new people!! Well I love you all!! And I'll write you soon!!
aishiteimasu!!!
