This past week has been super busy!
Last pday I got to skype the fam which was super awesome! That time goes by way too fast... I'm so grateful for them though.
Later we went to a members gym and he taught us some Brazilian Jujistu! It was pretty sweet and now I can take down anyone that comes at me so ya'll better watch out haha.
Tuesday we did splits with the zone leaders over in Fujisawa. I was with Elder Nielson, this is his first transfer as zone leader. It was fun to get to know him. He likes skiing and similar things to me so that was nice. Usually when we hand out fliers we just hand out a flyer and that is it. But the fujisawa ward has started putting there fliers in a little package of tissues which is what most businesses do in Japan and we were able to give away an insane amount of fliers in a super short amount of time. Not sure if it will actually bring more people to english class cuz people might just want the tissues but it sure made me feel better about myself hahaha.
One day while visiting a potential investigator, the mom answered and pretty sure she was a bit drunk because she was being really flirty and getting way close to my comp haha. She's like 45 so it was weird. It was an odd situation and she was putting off some weird vibes. She took a Book of Mormon though!
On Friday and Saturday we did some service! Friday we helped a family in the ward clean their apartment that they are movin out of. It was honestly the dirtiest apartment I've ever been in though. The Floors and walls were disgusting. I was amazed that they had been living in that apartment for 20 years! On Saturday we cleaned up trash around the sagami river with the ward. I love doing service! We found tons of trash and a few of our investigators came!
Saturday afternoon we had a missionwide conference with Elder Renlund. It was awesome to have the whole mission together again. I got to shake Elder Renlund's hand and he told me he and sister Renlund went to Olympus high school, pretty cool! We had another conference with Elder Renlund in the evening and one of our investigators came so that was a great experience for him. My favorite parts from the conferences were when Elder Renlund explained his experiences assigning mission calls and how the lord won't let him make a mistake. We are all called to our missions for a reason! Another cool part that I liked was when he shared his experience from setting President Nelson apart as the prophet. He said he was crying so much during the blessing that his tie was completely stained. It is always powerful to be in the same room as an apostle!
I love you all!
