the one with an old friend

"Boom, you looking for this?"

Starting with Monday, we went to a meat buffet (しゃぶしゃぶ) with some of the sisters in our area. After we finished eating, we went to the church and played ping pong, chilled, and talked with everyone. Again, it was another light P day.

Tuesday, we had District Council, and then at night, we went to kobe for exchanges with the APs. We spent the night there and it was pretty fun because there were a lot of missionaries in the apartment.

Wednesday, I was on exchanges all day! I went with Elder Holmes, and we used to be comps back in Uwajima (the promised land😉). We had a pretty good day and found lots of people! At night, we went to institute and before we did institute we played a bunch of different games and sports for about an hour. While I was playing some games, I saw an old friend walk in the door... Makoto 姉妹!She was the first person I was able to see get baptized in Japan! It was all the way back in my first area about 10 months ago! I hadn't seen her since I left, and it was SO good to catch up with her! We talked for a while, and she was surprised that I could actually speak Japanese now 🤣🤣🤣. The rest of the day was good, and we stayed the night in Kobe again, and it even more missionaries came, so it was a blast!😆

Friday, we had Eikaiwa, and it was a lot of fun! We played 'would you rather' the whole time and would talk about why some people would want to pick one thing over another... It was really funny because I asked a lot of very unserious and random questions. It made for a fun night.

Saturday, we had a game night, and our friend Chika came! We played soccer, ping pong, football, and basketball, and then after we all went to McDonald's together (this week was better.... We only went like three times). Chika is super awesome, though, and I could see her get baptized next transfer, so let's hope for the best!🙏🙏

Sunday we watched General Conference!!! 😆😆
We watched the Sunday sessions from last week, and it was so awesome!! 😁😁 I especially loved Elder Holland's and President Nelson's talks!! They were both SO good, and I loved also hearing about the 17 new temples that were announced!! The rest of the day, we had lots of calls and meetings and stuff, but for dinner, I made fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and gravy for all four of us! 😋😆😆 They all loved it, and two of the guys had never had gravy before, and they loved it so much 😁😁

Spiritual Thought:

Alma 41:4

And if their works are evil they shall be restored unto them for evil. Therefore, all things shall be restored to their proper order, every thing to its natural frame—mortality raised to immortality, corruption to incorruption—raised to endless happiness to inherit the kingdom of God, or to endless misery to inherit the kingdom of the devil, the one on one hand, the other on the other 

"If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this."
—C. S. Lewis

Well, that's all I got this week! Feel free to email me! 

That's all, folks. 

Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and gravy😋😋
