Muroran Week 9

Hello there!

Christmas coming up! Good time to dendo.

Monday, Dec 16: Yeah, tried out caroling dendo a bit. Nobody knows what caroling is. And, when we did get a chance to sing a song, no clue what to do next. Dropped the idea pretty quick.

Tuesday, Dec 17: had Zone Council Meeting instead of district today. Good stuff. Had a new person come to sports night, so that was nice. Opened up the Christmas package! Thanks so much for all the awesome stuff!

Wednesday, Dec 18: did lots of dendo stuff. Visited a guy named Kamada-san. He's got a few health problems and a smoking problem, but he's listening. We invited him to pray.

Thursday, Dec 19: Weekly planning. Eikaiwa at night. Dendo in between. Not much else.

Friday, Dec 20: dendoed in the morning. Got a notification that some members were doing a little pizza making party on Saturday. Invited a person or two. In the evening, we met a high schooler named Kento-san. He seemed pretty interested in what we were sharing. Invited him to the pizza party and to have a quick lesson afterward, and he said he'd come.

Saturday, Dec 21: yea, he didn't come. The other guy we invited came, though. Talked with a boy named Tenma-san. I don't see him at church very often, but his parents are members. Weeks ago at church, his mom told me about him, that he likes Star Wars. When she saw us chatting at the party she was super happy. Anyways, he shared some epic spoilers about Star Wars episode 9. I won't spoil. A seperate email is going to Payton about it all. That night, we went around to a couple returning members to see if they could come to sacrament meeting. None of them could, but we gave out a couple of the fold up nativities as gifts.

Sunday, Dec 22: the ward really hooked us up on food and treats for the winter. It was pretty epic!

Did some dendo after church. Went to visit Kamada-san. Kinda hard for me to participate as usual. But, with dictionary in hand, I was at least able to write down a new word or two. (Smelling my jacket right now. I can't tell if the smoke scent has disappeared yet. Don't want that kinda cologne at zone conference, lol)
