Week 72
Mission Log
This week went pretty well. We cleaned everything out of the apartment in Wakayama and said goodbye to all of the members and investigators there. Then we went to a meeting with the stake leaders in Osaka. After that, we spent a day helping the missionaries in a place called Senboku. On Thursday morning I went up to the mission office in Kobe to pick up my new companion. His name is Elder Symmonds. He is from Las Vegas. He`s brand new to Japan. We then rode the train together to a place called Sennan. Neither of us have ever been to Sennan before. We don`t know where anything is or who any of the members are. Also, we don`t have any investigators. Elder Symmonds is brand new. So, I pretty much have to work super hard to learn all that stuff as quickly as possible and find us some new investigators. There are two other missionaries living in our apartment with us. One is named Elder Murray and he is from Canada. The other is named Elder McKellar and he is from Australia. I love working with people from Australia or New Zealand. They`re so cool, and they love to Tim Tam Slam just as much as I do. I`ll teach you all what Tim Tam Slamming is when I get back. It`s pretty much the greatest thing ever. Sennan is considered part of Osaka, but it is on the very bottom border of it. Osaka is a massive city, but Sennan is much smaller. It seems really run down and dirty everywhere. There aren`t any tall buiildings either. The computer that I`m using to email right now isn`t working very well. It`s kind of annoying trying to use it, because it just stops and freezes up literally every two seconds. I can get through writing maybe a word or two before it will freeze up again. Because of that, I probably won`t write very much this week. All of the members here are really nice and they all are pretty friendly to the missionaries. They are excited that there are four missionarries in Sennan now. There are about sixty members here. There is a properly built church building, but it is really small: it is up on top of a giant hill. Sennan is just full of giant hills. It`s really hard to get around. I`m going to get going now. I love you all. Bye.
