Hello Everyone,
Today we got transfer emails! I am staying in Shonan and my new comp is Elder Wilcox! He's from Utah and on his 13th transfer so I'm excited.
Last pday it snowed way hard for most of the day! Members said that it was the most it had snowed in the past 4 years. I love snow so I was pumped! In the evening, after pday ended we just called people for three hours because it was freezing haha. Talking on the phone in Japanese is still really hard and pretty awkward sometimes but I am getting better!
On Thursday, while we were weekly planning at the church, some guy came and knocked on the church door. I opened it and he said he wanted us to teach him. He seemed a bit off but we sat down with him anyway and talked for a while. He said he had been studying the Bible and Book of Mormon for the past 10 years, been to church a few times and wants to be baptized. But then at the end of the lesson he wouldn't give us a phone number and said he would just call, so kinda weird. Well we asked the bishop about him yesterday and turns out he's not mentally there and has had violent outburts in the church so he's never allowed to come back. I was excited that maybe we would have one of those crazy stories where a golden investigator comes to us but nope haha.
This week we found the best apartment buildings ever to knock doors at. There are four of them and they are all 14 stories tall and not lock outs! So the past 3 days or so we have done one building a night and it's been way nice. I have been focusing on teaching about the Book of Mormon to people because I think it's the coolest book. I was able to give lots of them out this past week! I've realized that a lot of people aren't going to be interested in meeting with us again but I know if we can just give them a Book of Mormon and testify then maybe they will read it and it will touch their hearts! Or you never know, someone else could curiously pick it up and read it!
