Zone Conference and stuff

 


こんにちは!

This week, not much happened! Haha it was a pretty normal week

We did have zone conference! It was a really good meeting. I love getting to see all the other missionaries together and learn together. So much fun!

Stuff that happened this week... hmmm..

-Had a really fun zone pday, playing games and had pizza all together!

-Had dinner with a member couple, and it felt so much like a member meal in texas! It was kind of a weird feeling haha

-yesterday we went to a place called Muroran for exchanges! It's a small town by the ocean, so today we're gonna go fishing and go to an Ainu village!

Ok that's about all! Hope you have a good week!
Very used brake pads

こんにちは!!


I don't have a ton of time to email this week, but it was a pretty good one! Here's the rundown!

-we became the ad team for the mission so we made a couple ads this week!

-I met a missionary that used to serve here that a bunch of people have said we're super similar. It was kind of a weird feeling because we were super similar haha

-Our English class was really fun this week!! We had some cool success with it!

-My favorite person I ever taught in Texas got baptized, and thanks to the awesome missionaries there I got to attend over zoom!! It was so fun

-Did exchanges with Elder Yoshizawa who started his mission the same time as me. He's hilarious

That was about all, sorry I have no time!!

Visitin' the boonies

 


どうもジョーンズ長老です!


Hey everyone! I hope you had a good week :) my week was pretty busy haha

We did some fun fun stuff though. 
Here's the rundown!

-for pday we made crepes as a district! They had some handy little machines to make them

-We had some たらこスパゲッティ which was pretty good. It's basically fish egg spaghetti. Kinda weird haha

-we had a lot of travel this week too! We went to a place called Kushiro and surprised the missionaries that are banished there haha

-It's such a small town, it was so quiet there!

-We did a ton of housing there, so that was a good time!

-After the 5 hour bus ride back to Sapporo we had dinner with a family and their little son was so cute haha

-On Sunday we had やきにく with the best family I've met on my mission. They're so cool! Their little son was super cute too haha

That was about how my week went! It was really good and we saw some great miracles. God really cares about our joy. If you're having a hard time feeling joy feel free to reach out to me, I'd love to help you find more :)

じゃあまたね!

Scared out of her wits


 ヤッホー👋😃

I hope you all had a good week! This one was pretty long, but it was a good one. We had to say goodbye to Elder Johnson and Elder sandy last pday, and now it's just me and Elder Kobayashi again! So that's been fun. The apartment is a lot quieter, but also a lot cleaner haha

Here are some highlights!

-We biked up a mountain and visited a graveyard up there. It was so pretty there, it was unreal!

-We went housing at this apartment complex and a little girl was home alone when we knocked, so she answered and just started crying her eyes out. We tried to figure out why, and she said her parents weren't home, so she was scared having strangers knock while she was alone haha. When we left I think she wasn't scared of us, but we said we would come again to meet her parents haha

-We went to an art museum with our recent convert and pushed him and another member around the place in wheelchairs. It was pretty fun, a bunch of cool Egyptian stuff for some reason

-Had a cool miracle come from fasting this week, we were fasting and praying for this kid in the ward to go to FSY and it was really last minute, but he decided to go!

It was a pretty good week! We stay busy so that's good! And the weather has been cooling off a bit too, so that's great!
Anyway, have a good one!
バイバイ

Kimono time

 


ヤッホー皆さん!!

I hope you all had a good week! Mine was pretty good!

We had a busy week, but nothing crazy happened. Today Elder Johnson and Elder Sandy are gonna take off to their new area, and it'll be back to me and Elder Kobayashi! 

Not much happened, but I'll give a few highlights!

-went to Otaru and wore Yukatas around town for a bit. Pretty fun time

-I finally got a rope headband I've been wanting!

-Sat in our recent convert's house with him and a less active member eating ramen and singing "Ue o muite" and it was such a good time

-We had some good success housing this week! One lady was just so kind. We talked about eternal families and she said she didn't have time, but asked us to come back later! She was a tender mercy, because it was so hot that day, I was sweating like a sinner in church, but her kindness made it all worth it!

-We went to do some streeting at the big famous park in Sapporo and there were people everywhere. It's pretty intimidating, but we had a good time

That's about all I can think of. It's been hot here, but it's just so much fun. I can't imagine my life if I hadn't come out on a mission.

愛しています!



Coming home! Three more days . . .
