The days are long (except not in terms of daylight) and the weeks are short (except on Tuesday) and it's hard to believe it's already the end of another transfer and the beginning of a new one. π I'm still here in Kitarokko with Pilling Shimai, and now I'm an STL too with Stein Shimai so there's probably gonna be many more shenanigans to come.
Last week we went to Costco as a district for P-day and then had a fun koukan with the Amagasaki shimaitachi. I was with Stein ε§ε¦Ή, who is me but cooler and better at on the spot puns. We learned a lot about understanding and recognizing the Spirit and receiving revelation. She's a boss STL. π
The main event of the week was Thursday and Friday. You see, as a district we decided to do caroling dendo and pass out gift wrapped Books of Mormon and pamphlets with bags of cookies. Because I have the greatest knowledge of baking things in tiny toaster ovens in the district, we were assigned the responsibility of making about 100 cookies. So we, having no appointments Thursday evening, decided to make them then. But alas, you see, we overestimated the ingredients required for 100 cookies and what ended up happening was we made a grand total of 333 cookies. We were about ready to defenstrate all flour in our house. Thus, several shenanigans and querious phone calls to the district leader later, we ended up with Far Too Many Cookies, wrapped in cute little Christmas bags ready to pass out the next day after district meeting. Amazingly enough, we ran out of cookies and Books of Mormon in less than 15 minutes. It was wild. We all sang our little hearts out in front of the eki about Christmas things and Hatchett ι·θ almost killed his voice by trying to sing bass rip #tenorlife. But it was fine because it ended up being way effective and we still had extra ingredients so we did it AGAIN this past week on Friday. Except this time it was 300 cookies and we were more careful about the Books of Mormon we handed out, making sure the people we gave them to knew what it was, so we gave out four that time. Still way fun.
Saturday was very eventful as well. We went to Kyoto with Kurose san to visit her father's grave and we got to talk about temples and stuff because Japanese people keep their graves at Buddhist temples. It was wild. I also ate lots of mochi.
Last Monday was fun, we ate Brazilian food and Turkish ice cream (yes Jones Shimai Turkish man was there and he remembered me) and went to a Studio Ghibli store with the district. But the coolest thing was we ran into Miyazaki ε
εΌ from Matuyama on the train there! He was on his way to the honbu to go get set apart cos he's going on a mission and we just randomly met him! #kiseki only. It was super great and happy. He's gonna be an awesome missionary.
But that's about all I can remember rn haha see you all again next week!
