Proud to announce that I ate my first Big Mac this week. Can't say I've been missing much though. We helped Brother Sharp finish up his english class sign so he bought us McDonalds. He always hooks it up.
We met a really awesome guy from Vietnam this week. He came to our English class and I was able to talk to him about religion and we ended up meeting the next day! He's super solid and had a lot of great questions so we are excited to teach him.
We also met a nice Highschool kid that loves Christmas!! He sounded way down to come to our Christmas party next week and said he'd even bring his friend. We'll hope he comes through. He also accepted a Book of Mormon and seemed pumped to read it!
We had a Christmas open-house the other day at the mission home. My district performed some songs in the chapel and sounded absolutely terrible haha. Luckily we performed in the afternoon because hardly anyone was there yet. BUT while we were singing I looked up and saw 2 good friends from Astugi (my last area) sitting in the audience! We had a nice reunion after. Later another friend also came, so that was awesome.
The downer of the week, I was studying and accidentally hit my open water bottle with my elbow spilling it all over my scriptures. Luckily it just hit the edge of all the pages and not directly on any but still a major bummer. I dried the pages and stacked tons of books on it so it doesn't look too bad anymore. I always seem to spill things lol. π
Well I hope everyone is getting in the Christmas spirit where ever you are in the world. Lights have been going up around the city and it's getting freezing so it's starting to feel like Christmas here! We have really been focusing on teaching and testifying about the savior as Christmas is getting near. I'm very grateful for all Jesus Christ has done for us and I know he lives! It's awesome being a representative of Jesus Christ during Christmas time! I know Christ is our savior and that he really suffered for each and every one of us. Every time I meet a Christian in Japan they stand out and have a special light about them. I know there is a reason for that! As we strive to become like Christ and walk as he walked we will become happier and more able to feel the love that he has for us.
