おはいようございます皆様！元気ですか？
This week nothing really exciting
happened to me. So this week is an investigator update email! Woo!
Kaori: I love this girl so much. I love all our
investigators! Kaori is amazing. I don't know remember what I've
said in my emails about her before (and I doubt many people who read this
actually remember anyway. ;D) so I'll give a quick background.
Kaori is awesome. We met her at Eikaiwa! She has a friend who lives
in the US who's husband only speaks English. Kaori wanted to be able to
speak to her friends husband and to her friend more so she decided to take
Eikaiwa! We made friends with her and invited her to come to dinner at a
members house with us! She said yes and we introduced her to the Book of
Mormon while we were there. She talked a lot about her family and mentioned how
much we wanted to meet them! We decided one day we wanted to make a
banana cake for Kaori since she gave us her address. We took it to her
house and got to meet all her family! Her little sister lives in the
house next door with her kids and their parents live in the apartment below
Kaori's. So we really got to meet her whole family! It was
so fun!
Well, on Saturday the ward had
something called a mochi tsuki. I've attached 2 pictures to this email
that my family should post on the blog too! ;) (よろしく！） I think the english word for Mochi is "rice
cake"? but I"m not really sure... Basically at a mochi
tsuki you take a TON of rice, a giant hammer, and mash the rice until it
turns into mochi! Then you put the mochi into different things to make it
taste better because it's pretty flavorless by itself. My favorite is
covering it with anko or shoyu. :-) SOO good. Anyway! It's a
New Years Tradition that they have in Japan and we decided to invite Kaori and
her family! She told us that she wasn't going to be able to make it
because her friend was getting married that day... but then right before it was
time to start, she showed up with her kids and her little sister with her kids!
It was SO fun! The two pictures are of Kaori with her son Shintaro and
Yoshimi(Kaori's sister) with her daughter Mei! We got to spend the day with
them and they built some good relationships with a few of the members of the
ward! It was so good.
Helen: Helen has been really busy since December with her
job. She works as a Yoga instructor teaching her own yoga program to the
other yoga instrutors... Since it's the beginning of the year everyone is
starting new programs and she's been ridiculously busy. :/ We miss her so
much! Please pray that we'll be able to meet with her soon!
Judy: I mentioned last week about the self-referral! The
girl who wandered around Urayasu for a few hours looking for a good church to
go to. Well, I have a sad update on this one... We weren't able to get
her contact info last week, and she didn't come this week... We have no way of
getting hold of her so she's just... disappeared. :/ Hopefully she'll
come next week though.
Marcy: This week Marcy brought her son Alex to church! It was
a lot of fun. She's kind of got a... unique personality. xD Things
go her way. That's for sure.
Nishizawa: We met her this week! We found her while we were denwa
dendoing (Calling random people from the area book). She's in her 60's
and she's super lonely... She loves to sing though and it just so happens that
Lundy shimai and I do too! So we're going to start visiting her every
week! We're pretty excited about it.
And those are the big investigators
right now! :-) We have A TON of Potential Investigators, but these
are the ones that actually count as investigators. :-) Other
than that, my week was pretty boring. xD We spent most of the week outside in
the freezing cold visiting members, investigators, Potential Investigators, and
a 3 hour long kubari kai (handing out flyers session).
Thank you all for your prayers both
for me and my investigators! I love all of you and I can't wait to hear
from you! Have a fantastic week and write you all again next week!
