Family!!
So I have to make this a bit faster, running out of
time! Elder lee makes me very distracted!!
So RIGHT after I emailed last week, the
snows came, and they came hard. It didn't stop snowing in fact, until Wednesday
morning. We got a LOT of snow. That Monday we went up into the mountains, did
some housing, and got the COPS called on us!! Apparently someone had called the
cops, told them two white guys showed up on the doorstep, told them to die, and
left. The cops didn't believe it at all, but they had to go out and
investigate. They were WAY nice when they found us. So what could have been a
LAME situation, wasn't so bad. :) And we biked all day. ;)
Tuesday was the craziest day this week! We biked to a
place about ten miles away, and it was all in the snow. They ride down wasn't
so bad, but the ride back was CRAZY! We were biking through like 6 inches of
snow, and it was a blizzard the whole ride home, and it was a CRAZY blizzard!
When we got to our bikes after housing, we found them as BLOCKS OF ICE. I'm not
even joking. We had to head to the nearest store, and we bought lighters. But
that did not work at all. So we instead...bought hot coffee. And poured it over
our bikes to melt the chains and the gears. :P HAHAHAHAHA! We can't believe we had
to do that. We greased em up as soon as we could, figuring the coffee wasn't
good for it. My bike smelled disgusting. :P We were SO DEAD after that bike
ride.
Thursday we went on splits to Tomakomai, about an
hour and a half east of Muroran. We had a blast, and I went on splits with
Elder Galeria, who only has 2 transfers left, and he just got finished being
ap, so I learned a ton! We taught some lessons, had a great time, and he
was WAY impressed with my japanese. Which makes me feel good!
The language is coming pretty well. Elder Lee as well
is way impressed that my japanese is where it's at. He's afraid his next comp
won't have as good of Japanese as me, makes me feel good about myself. ;)
Haha! Still not fluent though! Gotta keep working!!
Friday was EPIC! We had an AWESOME lesson with
a Sasaya San. He is way prepared, and he was accepting everything we taught
him. We taught lesson one, about the restoration. We committed him to pray,
read the Book of Mormon, and come to church. Church was like, way soon though,
so he didn't think he could do it, which is understandable. But we also invited
him to be baptized, and we were prarying so hard that he'd say yes and make a
date, and he really though about it a lot, but ended up saying he wants to study
more! :( Next lesson he'll say yes. ;) Haha! Pray for him please!
And nothing really special happened on Saturday or
Sunday. I'm having a BLAST with Elder Lee, we really have just SO MUCH
FUN. Almost too much I feel like sometime! He's making this transfer go by way
fast! We're already almost half done with it! O.O It's just too much fun being
obedient, diligent, and BUSY! It's the greatest. I love you all family!! Thank
you for all you do!
Love you!!
Mike
