Toooooooday there is supposed to be a huge Tsunami!! We are soooo excited :) Rain rain rain...never go away!!
Also-- We are behind here. They watch conference a week late- which means I cant see it until next weekend. I AM SO EXCITED! We got to watch the relief society meeting last saturday, and I nearly cried the whole time because I was just so excited to hear someone else speaking english hahahaha oh goodness. And President Monson is just the cutest little thing I ever did see. Speaking of President Monson, I saw a wedding picture of his yesterday. Guess who wore a BOWTIE to their WEDDING?!?! Yes! He did! And I respect him all the more for it!
I left my little notes I made at home.... thats alright. Scattered emails and happy emails.
This week we went to the Bishops house to roleplay a lesson so that she could help us with our Japanese, and I was trying to tell her that she could feel Heavenly Fathers love, but instead I said 'I feel your love'. She just burst out laughing hahaha
So a week or two ago our airconditioning had a little fit, and started spurting out ice cubes and mold. It was so funny. Almost like christmas. But anyways, that made it so I needed to change where my futon was. So the futons were in a little L shape, with my head close to Roberts shimai. She talks in her sleep right? freaks me out everytime but it is so funny hahaha so she was angry or something, so in the middle of the night I woke up to her slapping my face, and mumbling something about cat steaks. hahahaha oh my goodness I love her to death hahaha life is always so interesting. Sad....because we already know we arent going to be together this transfer, but we havent gotten our transfer calls yet. They are supposed to come sometime in the next hour! We shall see what happens! so exciting! The good thing is, is that Sister Roberts is only one transfer ahead of me, which means we will be on our missions for nearly the same time, so we will always be together! Which is awesome.
Oh. So.... during eikaiwa (english class) I was talking with this group of old ladies, and there is this one adorable old lady who can speak english super well. Her name is KIM!!! so funny. Probably Kimber time traveling. Anyways. long story short, we got invited to this exclusive old lady tatting club (alright it isnt all that exclusive haha but still). I have been so excited to go. Finally last night we went. And man I had the time of my life. Have you ever heard of tatting? it is so cool. Look it up. Roberts and I decided that we would be tatting and catting for the rest of our lives together (only I dont like cats, but thats besides the point). I shall make a club at byu. Tatting for Life...I can just see it now...
So! I found the quote I had been looking for! It is in the Talk "Tongue of Angels" by Holland (which I recommend ALL of you read) and it goes something like--"there is never anything so miserable that complaining about it cant make it worse"---wow. I really butchered that. BUT the point is, read the talk, and then you will be able to figure out which quote I was trying to write haha. It is such a good one.
That may have seemed like a random photo insert... and it is. But I couldn't figure out a smooth transition. But---these, my friends---are the men who feed me delicious Nepalese
food all the time. The place is called Jyoti--anyways. basically they are all my favorite, and I asked for their picture. And they all lined up perfectly, haha I love it! the one on the near left has the happiest smile in the world, but every time I would say `hai` (because when they take picture here they go "ichi, ni, san...hai!) he would pull this face. So disappointing. but just try to imagine it, and then let it brighten your day haha
Take note of the little old man. I got a story about him. We went and tried to visit a less active woman, but she wasnt home. her son was home though (blue shirt) and he loves the missionaries, so we decided to play soccer until she got home. So we were all playing soccer and this old man comes out to watch us. So I invited him to play with us and he is all like "no no no i am too old" and Im like yeah whatever...no such thing. So he leaves (I wasnt sure if I offended him or not). BUT he comes back out ten minutes later and has basketball shorts on. It was so cute haahaha so we would kick the bal to him everyonce in a whole. Then he left again, and comes back 20 minutes later with his wife! Who was carrying a tray of little tea cups for all of us. It was coffee haha oops! I was trying to figure out how to just slyly water the plants with the coffee instead of drinking them, but the elders had a smarter idea. they were like "oh we are so sorry! we dont drink coffee" and apologized a million times. So after a whole she was like alright alright....what about juice? And we were like yeah! We love juice! so she comes back 10 minutes later....with green tea hahaha I was just cringing, and the elders once again told her that we couldnt actually drink green tea haha. oh man....it was so funny. But the lady was really understanding, and they both talked to us for a while. The old guy was talking to us, and he kept going around in circles. Saying that he was 81 years old (and then he would start square dancing) and then he would say it again (kind like a "can you believe I am 81 but I can dance so well?") he tried to dance with us but I kinda just didnt dance casue we arent allowed and asked him if his wife danced. He said she could but she isnt very good at it hahahaha. Anyways. He was a cute. the four things he kept saying was he was 81 years old, he has climbed mt. fujii 4 times, he likes tennis, and he knows how to dance. So when we were leaving I was like "wait...how old are you???" hahaha he happily told me again. I love that old man. And he loves us. It was so much fun.
Alright. Transfer calls have not come! oh well. next week I will either be emailing at the same place or some other random place. We shall see! I will get to tell you all about my new companion! Whomever that may be.
Well, I love you all! Have a great week! Smile lots and spread the love of the gospel!
Dont ever forget that Heavenly Father loves you, and that you are never ever ever alone!
The rain is supposed to start soon. I cant wait.
Love you all :) have a great week!
Sincerely,,,,,,
Lane Shimai!!
