Hello Everyone,
So this past week in Japan was called golden week. They call it golden week because almost everyday is a different holiday so lots of people travel and relax. It's pretty good for missionary work because so many people are out and about.
Last pday a family in our ward invited us to go on a picnic with them at a nearby park. Of course we were down but it ended up being an all day thing haha. We drove over an hour away up into the mountains to this little farm then to a giant park right next to a reservoir. It was awesome to be up in the mountains! It's crazy how green they are compared to the mountains in Utah. I love it! One of the girls in the family brought her pet ferret with a leash so I got to walk a ferret lol that was a first. I also ate my first Kebab from an Iranian food truck which was amazing.
We had a ward BBQ this week and had tons of people come! It was supposed to happen outside next to the Sagami river but unfortunately it rained so we just did it in the church. A less active came named keisu kyoudai and he was the coolest dude ever. He is a mountain guide and photographer and has summited tons of huge peaks all over the world. He said he's climbed everest 4 times which is dope. I talked to him for a while which made me happy because I miss all that stuff sooo much!
Some other stuff that happened this week:
I started using the weights we have in our apartment and did curls the other day. I'll just say I'm terribly out of shape and that was not a good move because I literally have never been so sore in my life... lol.
We do service at a old person care center and I talked with a 100 year old lady most of the time! Pretty crazy because she definitely didn't look 100 so I was amazed when I found that out. Pretty sure that was my first time meeting someone that old!
We met a kid on the train a couple weeks ago named kenshiro who grew up in america so he's fluent in english. He's a really cool kid so we went out to eat with him at an okonomiyaki place. When we were eating he just kept ordereing tons of food for us and the bill ended up being $90 for three of us lol. We're missionaries so we can't afford that kinda meal! Luckily he took most of the bill which we were very grateful for.
I miss you all wherever you are in the world!
