We got transfer emails today and I'm gonna be staying in Kofu. My new comp is Japanese! He was in my apartment last transfer so I know him already. His names Elder Oe.
Last P-Day our bishop was nice enough to take us to a cool park up on the mountain side then treated us to gyoza afterward! His family is awesome so it was fun to spend time with them. His youngest son had some toy sword that he just kept wacking me in the back with literally as hard as he could so besides that it was good time haha.
So the trash system in Japan is a lot different from America. You have to sort your trash and take it out on certain days. In our area most trash only comes on one day of the month so it's crucial to get it out that day or it just piles up. The previous elders weren't very good at that so it had been at least 4 months since lots of trash went out. The day finally came this past week and I think the highlight of the week was definitely getting all that trash taken care of haha. We had closet completely jam packed with trash... it took us a solid hour to get it all out and on the street.
I'll share another miracle from the week! We were knocking doors and happened to find a Chinese guy who came to our ping pong night a few weeks ago. We didn't have too much time to talk about the gospel before but since we housed into him we were able to talk more about and he said we can come back with Chinese pamphlets and what not.
We were walking around one day talking to people and I saw a cat on the ground that looked like it was sleeping so I went to pet it and realized it was dead. That was sad :(
We met two highschool kids on the street a couple weeks ago that seemed interested in coming to ping pong night. They said they were both really good at ping pong night so I challenged them to a game. Well they came this last Saturday and absolutely destroyed me lol. They both play for school so that explains it but it was nuts how good they were.
Yesterday an American man and his Japanese wife visited out ward. The wife got up to speak so a member asked me to translate for the husband. It started out all good but then she started speaking way fast and about something I could not understand at all so for like straight up 2 minutes I just sat next to this guy not saying anything. It was awkward. I was able to translate the testimony at the end though hahaha. Luckily he was nice and didn't mind.
Well I hope everyone enjoyed conference! Love you all!
