I don't really remember what happened this week. It's all a blur. But hey we'll try to report the highlights.
I finally finished a cool family history tool I've been working on and started using it this week. So on FamilySearch's blog, they have a thing called 52 Stories, which is a thing they put out to help people work more with personal histories and uploading things into memories, but the didn't have it in Japanese, so I took it upon myself to translate it with the help of 3 members and Hayashi Shimai. And it's ended up being really cool! We used it with the Kitamotos this week, and it was probably the most engaged they've been in a lesson in a while. And then we tried it out with some members, the Higos, and it was super awesome there too. They got really excited about being able to record these important stories about their families. It was awesome. (side note: turns out Dettmer chourou and I both love the same random German classical song so that was cool)
Also this week we met with this guy we met last Sunday named Shuichi. He's super cool and brilliant at English. He's actually been to Vermont a few times, and met with missionaries like 3 years ago so that was way cool. He seems to have a bunch of interest in the Plan of Salvation and knowing whether or not God really is there. He also invited us to go see this cool doll festival thing today. I'm way excited about him. He's a really nice guy and we're hoping to be able to meet and teach his daughter too.
Also kiseki ni, this girl named Kei chan who wss a referral from Whatcott Chourou came to game night on Friday! We were a little worried she wasn't having fun at first, but it ended up that she had a blast. We played hot potato and it was really funny. Everybody loved it. Tobler Shimai was a genius for suggesting it. And Kei chan said she wants to come next week too and was super excited to meet us for lunch sometime this week as well. Miracles only. It's a blast.
Also we went up to Nabari this week and while we weren't really able to contact the people we wanted to and it was so cold we had to buy socks and put them on our hands so we wouldn't freeze, we had a great discussion with Imoto Kyoudai about starting up an eikaiwa for the weekends we're up there. He said the members would be okay to teach the messages if we can bring students. The only minor struggle is figuring out how to efficiently schedule it. For real though, Nabari really is such a good little area, and it just needs help. We want to help them out so badly, but it's hard when we're not there all the time. But it's a work in progress and we're determined to find a way!
