International Missionary

This week wasn't too exciting but here's some stuff that went down. Also didn't know what to call this one so... Yeah 

Gyudon challenge

We met some college kids last week and they were like yeah I know Mormons! Apparently he is way good friends with the Takakus who are in our ward and with their son who is on a mission! So we were like we should talk about what he's doing and they were way stoked to know! We met them for dinner and just kinda talked it was fun. We then brought out pictures of their friend we had asked the Takakus for! One of them was like dang he's dressed in so much white!  I was like YES! I explained to him about baptism and how it washes away our sins and we become clean so that's why we dress in all white. He's like you can do something like that? I need that then because I've done a ton of bad stuff! What!? Heck yaw! We had a way sick lesson with them and it wasn't weird or forced or anything kinda just like back home talking about what we believe with friends it was way fun! 

Coming home from the eki (train station) we stopped a guy on the street named Kobayashi. We talked about God he said he believed in him and that enough is surprising in Japan but then when we set up a time to meet again for lunch he said would it be ok if I brought some friends? They are interested in being Christian.. WHAT!!!!???? This does NOT happen in Japan! No one talks about religion especially anything other than Buddhism! It was seriously so crazy! We are meeting him Saturday with his friends hopefully! 

Eikaiwa (English Class)

On our way home from church we stopped and talked to every person we saw and we talked to probably 10 people and none of them were Japanese! We talked to Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Iranian, Pakastanian people! It's way cool to be in Japan but being able to teach all different kinds of people! I like that about my area that I have so many different people because there are a lot of factories that people come work at! 

Challenge of the Week! 

This one is kind of more of a suggestion. I don't know why but I think you should go and find a letter that means a lot to you from someone that means a lot to you. Read it and ponder it. Maybe see how that person is and how things are. But anyways go read a letter or text... Cuz that's still a thing in the real world huh... Haha! I know it will give you some sort of motivation this week!

*This KING size challenge of rice and meat (gyudon) was talked up like crazy...they told me I wouldn't finish it and it's so hard!  I finished it and was still hungry #ninjaplease #KJsKitchen

Haircut!

*Theres a saying that says "Ashi ga nai" which means they don't have transportation but literally translates to "doesn't have feet!" So one girl in our meeting was like WHAT!? Both of them?! Hahaha 

*On my companion exchange I stopped this guy on a bike and got to talk to him a bit and then asked him to go eat with us... Apparently he's like golden and asks them all the time when they can meet and how excited he is to talk more... That would happen to me...
