Didodecahexaflexagon

Konnichiwa minasan,

I'm tired and emotionally shot for various reasons which all basically boil down to the fact that I am an old missionary and my everything hurts. Hopefully the many pictures will make up for it. So a brief overview of what happened.

-finally got to talk with Suenaga san for the first time in forever
-had a lesson with Hara san that was less exciting than expected but she did agree to meet again so hey bonus
-KUROSE SAN AND HER SON BECAME NEW INVESTIGATORS THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HEXAFLEXAGON! Ready? Okay so hexaflexagons are these little origami hexagons that have 3-24 sides you can flip through (hence the flexa part of the name) depending on how you make them. We usually use 6 and we were able to connect it really awesome with the book of Mormon challenge, which we debuted as a test run in eikaiwa and it worked brilliantly and ended in Kurose san becoming an investigator and inviting us over to teach her about family history! And then when we went over to her house, we used a hexaflexagon to explain the godhead to her son Kouhei, which resulted in him asking how he can get guidance from the Spirit. It was BRILLIANT! Hexaflexagons are the futuuuure
-talked to a real nice former investigator who didn't have a ton of interest, but he accepted a book of Mormon and gave us a ramen coupon so hey, good times.
-did a looooooot of family history with less actives and members. And I mean a lot. It was brilliant tho.

But yes this is about all I have the energy for gomen nasai. Hopefully this next week will be better and I'll have more to expound upon.

愛しています!💕

Sherwood Chourou - Week 38 in Japan

Konnichiwa! We are back to the slowish days once more. We've been dendoing and teaching plenty, but nothing outstanding has arisen ...
