week 11

みなさんこんにちは！！

This week has been so wild! I got a new companion! Sister Bailey and I puttin in work. She is super fun and we are constantly peeing our pants laughing. Its so fun! turns out I am done being trained! Its still my first transfer so idk whats going on.

This week our president said siiikkkeee about us teaching in person, so we aren’t allowed to do that anymore which is a big yikes.

We taught Arianna this week and set her on date！ she told us that she talked to her parents about it and they were really supportive of it too! I am so excited for her! (yay for バプテスマ)

Our district has just been playing a lot of spikeball so im pretty pro at it now. We have an elder who served in Taiwan in our district so he teaches me some kanji every now and then! super sick. He also got a call today that he is probably going back June 15th or July 1st. SO THAT HAD ME PUMPED.

anyways, God is good. The Book of Mormon is true. I love the gift of tongues.

あいしっています！がんばってください！

week 10

Haha this week was wild!!!! I had my last classes for Japanese which was really sad! I am going to miss my district so much, they were all the best. We were able to have almost every lesson this week IN PERSON. So epic. But Jesiah who we had been teaching just texted us joking about how he wishes he could be baptized this week so that it could happen before Sister Hughes left, and we were like ughhhh we wish too but it probably wont happen. ( He was on date for May 30th)

But we sent a screen shot of his texts to our district gc. and like withing 5 min both our DL and Zls called us, and were like he 100% can be baptized this week. So we called president and he gave us the go to get him DUNKED. SOOOO we had to plan this baptism in like 2 days. life was so crazy. We could only have about 8 people there and everyone had to be social distanced so it was wild.

It was cool to see him be baptized bc we both had been teaching him since the beginning. I WAS A BRAND SPANKING NEW MISSIONARY. I just learned very clearly, that I am not the teacher and that is all the spirits work for sure!

Week 9

みなさんこんにちは！

This week has been pretty much the same, I do Japanese most of the day and then teach a couple lessons throughout the night.

We have been teaching Jesiah about 2 a week and he is getting baptized in like 2 weeks and he is beyond thrilled! He always has a funny story to tell us. He sees almost everything as a sign from God and its pretty cool to see the small miracles through his eyes.

Arianna is a girl we have been teaching about 2 a week as well and she had no Christian background whatsoever! its been cool and I felt like she was set in my path to prepare me for the people of Japan :) She is progressing really well but we gotta just take the lessons real slow.

Amanda is the last person we are teaching rn and she was taught by some elders in our mission like three times a week since quarantine and they just recently referred her to us. We had a couple passoff lessons and then our first lesson we did with her was a little rough bc she liked the elders. BUT we has a lesson with her on Saturday and we really just let the spirit guide it and she told us that out of all the lessons we have had so far, this was her favorite! so good to hear!

hehe Sister Hughes and I did a devotional for our whole mission (ちょとむざかしですね) but right before president call us. We are thinking that he is like double checking that we were prepared. BUT he told Sister Hughes that she was going back to Nauvoo! *(she is a church history missionary and this is her outbound mission!)

HOPEFULLY THAT MEANS I AM GOING TO JAPAN SOON! President told me that he thinks I will go this summer and that he is waiting everyday fro good news for me.

Thats really all I have from this week tbh.

がんばってください！皆さんあいしっています！いげんのたまもんおはしんのです！

week 8

Haha this week was the most average! Just had Japanese all day, and then taught some people. I met like three new tutors this week bc things have been wild, I am starting to actually teach in Japanese though which is pretty cool.

We still have Jesiah on date, and he is ecstatic to get baptized. He told us that he can't wait to start work again so he can pay tithing.

We started teaching this girl who has absolutely no christian background. It's been a cool experience for me to practice teaching someone like that for when Im actually in Tokyo.

We have one other girl who some elders have been teaching since the beginning of quarantine, They haven't asked her to be baptized because they didn't know which ward she would be put in, but its our ward! so i will see maybe 3 baptisms while im here!!!

The weather here lately is GORGEOUS! like 80-90 degrees always. straight amazing.

I have been really sad thinking about not going to Japan lately too. HAHAH I really want to go.... :( I really do love Vegas but I wanna be in Tokyo lol.

I put a pic of my desk because i spend most of my time throughout the day there its kinda cute or whateva

Things are good tho!

week 6

皆さんこんにちわ！WE SET A GUY ON DATE TO BE BAPTIZED! I am so excited for him and he is ready the minute this all ends. The last week has been the same as any week. Still do Japanese most of the day and then teach a couple lessons at night. My Japanese is getting so much better! Is crazy the gift of tongues is so real it's ridiculous, even if I dont make it to Japan there is a reason I'm learning so fast! This week we found out that our apartment might have black mold. So it was fun to bleach our our whole apartment.

We switched our car like three times this week and we had a really swanky brand new car for a couple days. It was sad to give that away.

Nick and Sueann got engaged so shout out to them! Cant wait to not be at the wedding!

Haha the Elders in my district starting learning Japanese for me but the chalk board DID NOT say what they thought it did HAHA!

the pig is Madsen 長老 her name is melee:)

Mission life is wild!

Week 5

こんいちわ！！

I love spring ! When we go for runs in the morning we see all these little ducklings and it's the cutest you could ever imagine. I pretty much go for runs in the morning and then go to Japanese and study all day and then at about 5:00 we will teach a lesson or read with some seminary kids. It's a routine life as a missionary rn. It's cool though we see miracles really everyday!

One day we went and drew all over the sidewalks of our apartment complex and we actually got to talk to lots of families and people about what our message is. It was super cool! So many people are open to the gospel here.

Its starting to get real warm here in Vegas and I'm so happy I go and lay in the sun during our lunch hour and it's amazing!

I really do love learning Japanese! Its addicting honestly. Once I start I cant stop haha so I usually do all 4-5 of my hours straight. Haha my companion says I speak Japanese in my sleep almost every night.

That's really all I do right now. I am doing a little bit better with adjusting but it's all chaos so...... べんきょしはむずかしです。

皆さんないしってます。
