Dear Family,
This week was a really
good week, we had all kinds of good stuff. We had FHE on Monday and splits on
Thursday and Friday and a talent show event on Saturday that was about it as
far as special things. We did a lot of housings his week because we wanted to
get better at it and as a district we had decided to go crazy on housing for
the talent show to try and get as many people there as possible. At first the
housing was a little tedious but by last night me and Elder Bunker have decided
that we really like housing. We saw quite a few miracles and things while doing
it as well. We have found 6 or 7 good potential investigators from it this week
and we found yet another less active! Whether those 6 or 7 this week will turn
into investigators or not I'm not sure but we'll try as hard as we can. We have
2nd meetings with most of them already set up so that will be fun this week.
The other potential investigators from past weeks are not yet investigators but
we haven't forgotten about them we are just trying to get them to come to
activities and they have been busy recently most of them. We were able to meet
with Uki San this week though, he came to the talent show, which was an
improvement. There were a lot of good performances and a lot of missionaries
and investigators from other areas too. Splits were way fun, I learned a lot
from Elder Hansen (one of my zone leaders) he's a really good missionary.
The sickness from last
week is FINALLY GONE!! It was way sucky while I had it but now it's all good. My
nose just runs out of habit and cold air now so it's much nicer. Although it is
starting to warm up quite a bit, I have needed coats and stuff much less often.
We have to wait til May though until we are allowed to wear short sleeve shirts
which is a little obnoxious but it can't be helped. This upcoming week me and
Elder Bunker are trying as hard as possible, more than we thought we ever
could, to make this week the most productive week in every way that we have had
our whole mission. So it's lots of fun and we are really working hard!
It's been very weird and
interesting this week at some of the houses... I have had the door opened by
more Japanese guys in pajamas than I wish to count this week. One guy had a
full pajama suit thing and another was in like full Under Armor only and
another was in like a bathrobe. I guess it's not a weird thing to just answer
the door in your pjs in Japan! Most of them were way nice though, one of them
told us to visit again, so hopefully he will be dressed next time. But that's
about it for my week I think! It is Elder Simons birthday today so we are going
to Hachioji to go eat Yakiniku which Google can probably explain better than I
can. And if I can find one I am going to maybe buy a speaker or something so
that if I can ever get music on my iPad in other areas I can play it or maybe
if they have CD players in other areas I'll use that I dunno! It will be a fun
day though. Sounds like life at home was pretty fun! The Treadclimber sounds
exciting, I sold one of those at Sports authority I think, I don't remember too
well. Just don't die on it! I'm glad mom and dad were able to go to the temple,
make that 38 months! Have a great week everyone! And if I forgot anything let
me know! Love you guys!
Love,
Elder Gailey
Per Google - Yakiniku (焼き肉 or 焼肉), meaning "grilled meat", is a Japanese term which, in its
broadest sense, refers to grilled meat dishes.
Today, it commonly refers to a Japanese style of cooking bite-sized meat
(usually beef and offal) and vegetables on gridirons or griddles over flame of
wood charcoals carbonized by dry distillation (sumibi, 炭火) or gas/electric grill.
No idea why they have a fish head on a stick by the front door. Asked a Japanese Sister missionary and she had no idea either.
