Happy Late Easter!
They do absolutely nothing for Easter here haha. But that's okay! Cook shimai and I got the other shimai baskets. and I read the Easter story about a million times! Good stuff.
This week we have 2 pdays because we are going to the TEMPLE on saturday!!! So hopefully we will have time to email. if not you wont be getting an email from me in...like two and a half weeks or something.
I gotta tell you about Yuu chan haha she is the most adorable thing ever. I will include pictures- I have a ton from last pday. We taught her the Law of Chastity today, and we were a little worried just because we weren't sure what her standards were and she has a boyfriend. So. We teach it thoroughly so that we don't have moment like they had on the district (their investigator thought that keeping the law of chastity meant that he couldn't flirt or date girls). So we teach it to her, and she got more and more excited to keep it. It was so fun to teach because the Law of Chastity it SO HAPPY!!!!! anyways, so we teach it to her, and kinda jokingly we were like -you should teach haruka the law of chastity- and she was like ---yes!!! I am skyping with him tonight!--- and then as she was leaving we gave her a hug and she was like ---I LOVE the law of chastity. I am so excited to tell Haruka about it!- hahahahaha. I love Yuu chan. She is absolutely adorable hahaha
So this week there was a mystery to be solved! A number we didn't recognize called us on Saturday, and cook shimai tried to talk to her. she didn't understand her though so after a while she handed to phone to me, and I didn't know what she was trying to say but I invited her to church the next day and told her we would meet her outside. SOO. we were so confused--she sounded like she had an accent so she wasn't Japanese...and when she said her name we didn't understand a thing haha. SO. we were super excited when Sunday rolled around, and we were waiting outside and she didn't show. We almost missed the sacrament because of it haha. Anyways, so then after about ten minutes, in she walks! Mystery girl!!!! It was a girl we talked to on the street over a month ago. She wouldn't make an appointment or anything, didn't give us her number. We just gave her a little flier with our number on it. And one month later she CALLED US AND CAME TO CHURCH!!!!!!!!! it was a miracle. After sacrament meeting there was a crepe party, and so she came. It was way fun. and she had so much fun haha she said she is coming back next week and bringing friends. CRAZY OR WHAT?!? She is Chinese- going to school here to learn Japanese, and she is 19! She is way tall, and beautiful. We are so excited to work with her!!! Easter Miracle!!!
mmm what else? oh! I broke my toe. stubbing it. Not gonna say im proud of it haha but it is what it is. dendo has been an adventure. BUT. a miracle happened. No joke. So my toe was bleeding like crazy and it was paaainful right? It took hours to get to sleep, and then I woke up in the morning because of the pain (im just telling you all this cause its a cool story). When it happened it was just bleeding like crazy. and then the next day was companion exchanges, so I bandaged it up and put a shoe half on- and my whole foot was swollen at the end of the day. Then the next day I was able to put a sock on it- and then I wake up on Easter and it felt LOADS better. Then today I woke up and I don't even have to put anything over it. I don't know if this story sounds dumb or anything, but believe me- it was incredible! I can walk completely normally, and I just have a cool bruise. EASTER MIRACLE!
Our investigators are doing awesome!
I got a hilarious story that is really a few hilarious stories all in one. Lets see if my hands can type this fast enough...actually no. I don't have time cause I gotta send pictures. DON'T let me forget to tell you about the french man, the gas station man, and the seminary kid.
