Coming Out With the Win

Just a short email this week since she had a late p-day last week but there's still lots of good stuff in it.  Thanks for reading and ENJOY.

こんにちは、
Long time no see ね? oh did you all know that sarcasm is not a thing in Japan? One time I said long time no see to a member that I just saw as a joke and they didn't get it at all, in fact they thought I was going crazy. So there's that fun fact for you. Anyway, this one will be a short one because my last P-day was just a few days ago soooo not toooo much to say.

Busy, busy, busy.
We have been crazy busy lately. We are literally working from the moment we make up to the moment our heads hit our pillows. Even on pdays!! I'm slowly dying, but I'm dying happy so it's okay :) 
Here's a glimpse into our pday mornings:
6:30am get up and get ready and bike to church
7am weekly call in with sisters
7:30am weekly call in with sisters
8am district leader weekly call in
8:30am district leader weekly call in
9am district leader weekly call in
9:45am Tokyo west weekly call in with the assistants
10:30am Tokyo east weekly call in with the assistants
Sooo many calls and this isn't even half of it :`( gotta love it :)

GAME-DAY
Okay not the game day you're thinking of ;) but go utes. For missionaries, our game day is church!! We spend all week trying to get our players ready for game day or our investigators ready for church. Sometimes the players play a bad game and we, as the coaches, are pretty disappointed, but sometimes the whole team plays way good and we win the championship bowl. Yesterday, the second one happened. WE HAD 4 INVESTIGATORS AT CHURCH. We were so busy; sister Morelock and I had to go on splits and we were just running around trying to get members to talk to our investigators and also making sure our investigators were getting taken care of. It was amazing.

Also, there was a baptism for the Elders' investigators after church and 3 of our investigators stayed for that. One of the investigators said that the baptism was "magical." This Sunday was her first time ever at church and she loved it. Nabeko (our Chinese investigator) loved church and the baptism and stayed after we even left to have dinner with the members. And then there's our MVP, Ryoko, she loved church and the baptism and is so excited for her baptism this coming Sunday. She told all of the members that she was getting baptized next week, and she talked to the bishop for 20 minutes about her job. Her baptismal interview is this Thursday and if all goes well, her baptism will be this next Sunday.

Choose the right y'all.
