Sherwood Chourou - Week 29 in Japan

Konnichiwa Mina-san!

It's the last full week of the transfer already! This transfer's gone by so fast, I'm actually a bit scared. One more month and I'll be a third done with my mission!
Anyways, this week we had Zone Conference. For the most part, we talked about how we need to invite more young people to learn, and a bit about the new "Missionary Standards for Disciples of Jesus Christ" booklet. For those of you who don't know, it's basically a book of guidelines and advice for missionaries to be safe and effective, but pretty much anyone can use it. Good stuff, that.
The ride home was mostly uneventful, up until a bit before we got home. Someone started having a breathing problem or something, so the bus driver called an ambulance to come help the man and take hima to the hospital. Both Murakami Chourou and I wondered if we should offer him a priesthood blessing, but neither of us were sure, so we ended up giving him silent prayer blessings in substitute. The ambulance came and took him away just fine, so he's hopefully just fine by now. But yeah, that was a lot more excitement than we expected for that bus ride. We got home much later than we expected, too, past midnight. On a happier note, we took a shot at trying to invite the bus driver to learn while we were at a rest stop. He didn't accept, but we had a good conversation nonetheless.
Well, that was pretty much the week, besides some fairly good, yet unoutstanding lessons and finding. Hope you're all doing alright back home! Matta ne!

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 ...
