Well this week was pre chill :)
MIRACLE! So this week happened to be splits... With elder Tuttle again. Last time I was one splits with elder Tuttle we met the guy who wanted us to translate his paper and talk to us about his wife and stuff! Like one of the coolest things to happen on my mission. A couple nights before my split Mahino San called us! We just gave him our phone number and said call us anytime you're in the area. He called and said I finished the calendars can I give them to you? I had no idea what he meant by calendar and he said something about our families but I couldn't really understand him because it was over the phone and he's 87 and speaks super proper japanese but we made a time to meet again! We went to see him and he gave us calendars he made of his wife! He also made extras so we could give them to our families! He is the cutest! Every person we saw he told them about how we met last time by chance and how we became friends so fast and just every detail of our friendship! So much cuteness! That's what missions are all about bringing the light of christ to others! He kept saying isn't this funny? God is so there! It was supposed to rain like crazy but it was sunny, we happened to be on splits again... It was simply perfect and something I will remember my whole life.
This week we worked a lot with the future missionaries in the ward! They are all doing way good and a couple of them are putting out their mission papers this month! In japan they have to hand write everything and it takes a couple months because they have to translate it and send it back. So probably no calls for a couple months but I'm still mad excited for them!
We had interviews with the president this week... Yeah don't have much to say about it just thought I'd let you know... Haha
We had dinner at Kotas house and he is preparing to go on a mission so it was way fun being able to talk to him more! His English is super good I think he's gonna post up in America!

We had dinner at the bishops house and they have a bunch of adorable kids! Ahhhh! So he's from tahiti and is married to a Japanese lady and their kids are too cute! When he came and picked us from the church he was dropping of one of his kids who is 16 and they were going on a bike ride for mutual and so I said why don't you take my bike (cuz mines sick...) he was like wait.... Really!? He acted like Christmas came early! We went and had a way good dinner and talk and after... My favorite part I GOT TO PLAY WITH THE KIDS!!!! We had a way fun time and at the end when we had to go one of them came running out and he's went in front of me and spread his arms out and said DAME! Which means like "not ok!" His mom said he has to go and he said no he's moving here! He said I can have his brothers bed and he can sleep on the sofa! Ahhhhhh so much cuteness!! His mom also asked what my name was and he looked at my name tag and said IESU KIRISUTO! (Jesus Christ) bahahahaha no wonder I'm such a good missionary ;) As we were going back they said we haven't had a missionary play with our kids that well for like at least 5 years! That is so sad! I told them I think it's important for kids to like the missionaries and have it be a blessing for their family rather than them being like oh great the boring missionaries are coming... The next day at church he just came up to me and grabbed my hand and walked around with me! hey I don't know if you all know but I FREAKING LOVE KIDS!
We were walking to the train station after lunch, when I saw this guy and I just knew I had to go talk to him. He was sitting on the ground with a guitar. He was homeless and was missing some teeth but.... I had to talk to him I just felt a light from him. I asked him if he'd play something for me because I love music he said no... I didn't have a beer yet... And it's embarrassing and I'm shy if I play without one. Haha after much persuading I got him to play a song he wrote it was awesome! He was like noooo it was bad if you heard me play with beer it would be better. I said no way that was way too Good! I then asked him if he's ever tried drinking Calpis soda and playing because that's what I do and it makes me sound really good! Haha he talked to me for a long time about how bad beer was and he said I was right and he should try that. But he kept on saying thank you for listening to me and he said you guys have a light it is amazing! I told him no he is the light! I doubt anyone ever listens to him play or talks to him ever... Anyways I am doing a terrible job at explaining this well but, I'm pretty sure this guy Kazuo was an angel sent from above to make my day better. I kid you not he had the light of christ stronger than I've seen for a long time. You could just see it in his eyes. Although to the other elders he seemed crazy and talked a lot and said some weird things I feel like he was an angel that not many people notice. I'm so thankful for these little miracles I get to see everyday!
Challenge of the weeeeek!
Notice the Angels! I'm convinced that angels are not these people who are clean, pretty, well known... But rather the people that we tend to forget about and not notice. I think God sends them in forms that we don't usually notice because it first takes a accepting heart to receive blessings. God wants us to love all people just as Christ did. I challenge you to go out and notice those Angels because they are waiting to bless you in ways that you would never imagine. If you just looked around with a open heart I promise you will find these Angels!
Twitttter?
I taught the Pakistan guy that comes to ping pong night and English class how to say "everybody in the club" and it has to be the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life! He wears a suit to English class and track suit to pingpong hahahaha! #dontworryirecordedit #pakistandan! #nicestmanever! #Afzal
S/O to the people responding to my "Up yo name tag sticker game!"
#missiongamestrong
I got BOW STICKERS! If that doesn't give you incentive to write me I don't know what will #bowdown #stationarygameoffthecharts #thirstyforletters
You might be a missionary if... You see someone chewing gum and you're way jealous... #ididntChewsthethuglife...
S/O to all the homies on missions because no matter where someone is from I'm like hey I have a friend there doing the same thing as me and we can start a conversation! #armyofhelaman
S/O to Meg cuz she got married this week... And I'm not heartbroken... ;( #
There's literally a million ways to count things in Japanese. My Japanese companion alone with no google thought of 57 counters! Like you have to count it a certain way or it's wrong. There's counters for round objects, flat object, small animals, big animals...Theres even freaking ways to count things like tofu, ghosts, round onions, and for votes! #areyoukiddingme? #japaneseistoohard! #youcancountonme #igiveup #
Well that's all I gotta say this week... Pre boring... Next week I'll have an announcement of who my new comp will be! Mission Pres told me I'd prob stay and prob get a new younger companion! If that is the case I can finally do something! If that makes sense... I've just been kinda following around my comps like Pikachu on the gameboy game and they just chuck me in front of them when a wild Pokemon appears in thick grass... I hope I get to be with someone I can work together with and accomplish some amazing things together but we will see! Maybe I will train!!! A lot of my other Homies on missions seem to be training now! Good luck! I don't know but whatever the lord has in store for me I'm excited for! Love you all!
Love! Rice! And EVERYBODY IN THE CLUB!
Elder Iesu Kirisuto!
