部分!!

皆さんこんにちは!

Another supercalifragilistic-expialidocious week! I'm sorry non-English speakers for that long word! To be honest, this week was quite a blur but I'll do my best!

 We had district blitz in 弥生台(Yayoidai) on Wednesday. People there are just amazing! I passed out a ton of fliers and we talked to a lot of people! We even got a new potential investigator there! He really wants to learn more about Christ! Hopefully we can meet him again soon!

So we had a special zone conference on Thursday at Yamate. On September 1, 1901, the first four missionaries that came to Japan offered the dedicatory prayer for missionary work in Japan. The church building was very close to where the prayer was offered! We learned a lot about the history of the church in Japan. A couple weeks ago was the 116th anniversary. The church in Japan grew from 4 members to about 130,000. We even met 2 of the first 5 Japanese missionaries! What a great opportunity! 
Translating wasn't that bad. Papenfuss姉妹 was the other interpreter and she's pretty much fluent so I had a great helper!

On Saturday, we helped out the cub scouts with some geography stuff. We explained some American culture and facts. Then we went over to Fujisawa for the Chopin (pronounced "Shopan") concert with a couple 英会話 students. The pianist was 高畑姉妹 from the Atsugi ward! She's been playing piano since she was 4. She went to BYU Hawaii for a piano major and has played in a couple big symphonies! The music was incredible! I love Chopin! 

It rained from Saturday night until early this morning. We had another typhoon come by but we were already sleeping :p Fun stuff though! また来週ね!
