First thing that happened was while we were riding back from visiting someone I got a flat on my bike... We had to walk 45 minutes back to the apartment which was kinda unfortunate because it ruined our plans. But it was all good because the next day I got it all fixed up.
Sunday was definitely the most interesting day. In church I accompanied on the piano for the first time in this ward and also played a musical number so that was fun. After church there was a YSA party at a members house that we were invited to but we had a lesson so one of us stayed back, being me, and Elder Riggs went to the party with our other investigator. So we went on splits and sadly Elder Farnsworth and I had to stay and teach a lesson while the other Elders got to go eat food... Elder Farnsworth was way salty about it because he just got pulled into it haha. After the lesson we went to visit a less active college student who lived about 9 km away. Literally one minute away from the house I hit my back tire on the curb super hard and it just exploded lol. So that was the second flat of the week. Worst part was that we were really far from our apartment to walk. Anyway, we went to the kids house which ended up being a college dorm and some kid let us in. We definitely weren't supposed to be in there and a bunch of college kids were just looking at us like what the crap are two gaijin doing in here haha. The less active wasn't home so we left a note and bounced.
We decided we would walk home a different way and few minutes later we ran into Brother Sakurai who was on his way to visit the same less active who he hadn't visited for over a year! He said he could give us a ride home but he was on his scooter so we had to walk to his house. On the way we ran into some drunk old man who was walking his dog and he was sure happy to see us. He was just yelling at us in what little english he knew and going crazy hahaha it was hilarious. Once we got to the Sakurai's they offered to make us dinner so we happily took their offer. The YSA party actually happened to be at their house so we got the after party, Farnsworth was happy. They had me play the piano again and we shared a little message. Their less active daughter was there and she sat in on the message. While driving us home Brother Sakurai said he really thinks it helped his daughter having us come over. So maybe we happened to run into Brother Sakurai for a reason!
Some other things that happened:
- One of our good friends who comes to eikwa works at a speaker company and so he hooked me up with a free super nice speaker!
- We had a big eikaiwa night with the whole stake which was lots of fun. It was American themed for some reason so we sang the national anthem at the end. Didn't think I would sing that in Japan haha.
- I went on splits with Elder Solari one day and Elder Farnsowrth two days this week. Splits are always fun.
- While I was on splits with Elder Farnsworth we were doing a lesson with a kid in McDonalds and a group of highschoolers sat across from us. They were studying english and asked for me to help them so I was their tutor for a few minutes haha.
