The Beginning of the End

Konnichiwa minasan! 


This week was way fun! It was transfer week and my last companion, beloved Tobler 姉妹, has come to join me in Yamatokoriyama. It's my last transfer here as a missionary. Time goes so fast! Only 5 and a half more weeks and then I die as to full time missionary service. But it's okay. We're gonna do our best until the very last! 

Anyway, so we stopped teaching Iwamoto san this week, which was sad, but she just said she didn't care to find out whether or not our message is true, so there's not much we can do at that point. She's sweet though, and I'm sure Heavenly Father has a plan for her. It's just not her time.

But at the same time we got an awesome appointment set up for this week with a student from Eikaiwa and we're really excited about it. Just goes to show that when one door closes, another door opens.

Also this week we had an awesome Culture Party with the ward because all of us missionaries were from different countries. It was super fun and we made different foods together. Also the nihonjins became a little more American that night by inventing brownie batter covered pretzels. It was truly a masterpiece. It was way fun too though because the members got to meet a bunch of our investigators who haven't been able to come to church, and some less active members even came as well! It was a really awesome night and I feel like it was way great for helping the ward feel more like a family.

We've also had a lot of awesome appointments with members this week, and we've been teaching a lot about family history and introducing more of the apps' features. Most of the members didn't know about the audio recording option and they all got way excited when we showed it to them. I'm just a real big fan of family history. I will testify all day every day that it's absolutely critical for dendo, and especially in Japan. We even got a referral out of it! We're super excited. This transfer is really looking up and I'm excited to see what happens. Tobler 姉妹 has all sorts of really awesome ideas to help out the ward and find new people to teach. It's going to be a miracle of a last transfer.

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 ...
