Sorry for the late email, but it's been a busy day!
This week has been quite the adventure. We met with a couple new investigators and even found a Mexican restaurant in Kawaramachi! It had avocados and everything! Speaking of which, I've repented of my sins and realized that avocados actually are oishii. Eaton Shimai was very happy because she loves avocados.
The coolest thing though was on Friday after district meeting we dendoed some gaijin! We were walking along Kamogawa (a river that runs through Kyoto) and found this guy reading 1984 on the riverbank. We started talking to him and found out that he's from Switzerland and traveling for a couple weeks through Japan. Then we started talking about the gospel and two hours later he committed to reading the Book of Mormon and meeting with the missionaries in Switzerland!!!! It was awesome! Also Eaton Shimai learned why I was sent to Japan (Spoiler Alert: it's because my mouth needed the hardest language in the world as a handicap) It was a really good day. Kyoto is awesome because you can talk to the whole world here!
Also heyo this week is Valentine's Day!!! In Japan, Valentines is a little different. All the girls buy fancy chocolates for the boys they like, and then next month on White Day (March 14) all the boys return the favor with either chocolates or some other nice present or thing. It's way fun. (I bought Eaton Shimai Snoopy chocolates because she loves Snoopy more than life itself but you can't tell her cos it's a surprise shhhhhhh)
This week, Yamashita Chourou (the area seventy in charge of the Asia North missions) is coming to do a mission tour! He gave us homework to love our investigators and ward members so hard! Hug them all the time and tell them how much we love them. His third challenge was to find a new investigator every single day and we're working so hard to do it! I'd like to extend that same challenge to you guys! This week, love everyone so so much! Love them too much! Hug everyone and tell them how much you love them! And while finding investigators for the missionaries in your area may be a little much, I bet you can all share something about Christ's love for all of us with someone every day. π
Let's all do a week of love this week!!!!!
