Better Late than Never!!!

Ok...sorry about no email!  We went to the church to email, and when we got there...the computers were all moved and taken apart!!!  So we couldn't use them.  We had to wait to use the computers here in Fukuoka.  We came for District Meeting and we have an Open House here at the honbu (mission office/home) tonight, so that's why we're here.

But, anyways...the temple was super awesome.  Funny story...it was English day!  I was kind of disappointed actually because I wanted to go in Japanese, but still it was way good.  The temple is GORGEOUS!!!!  It's also really little.  But it was so great!  I'm so glad we got to go!

This week was super good.  It was kind of crazy because we had so much stuff going on, but it was way fun!  We went caroling in Chikushino and Fujisaki as our District.  It was fun!  Cool story...we were contacting in Chikushino, and we talked to this lady.  We taught her a little bit, and she said she was interested, but she said she didn't live in Chikushino.  We asked her where she lived, she told us Nishijin!  Which is in Fujisaki!!  Whaa??!! So awesome, right? (If you didn't catch that...it's Lacee's area!  :) )  She took our information and said she would call.  I hope she really does!  So far...nothing.  Hopefully one day!  Then on Saturday we got to go caroling at Tenjin! (a huge shopping & cultural area) Wow so fun!!  It's this giant eki (station...like for bus, subway, etc.) in the middle of Fukuoka.  It's so awesome.  I've only been underneath, but we were up on the street (where all the shops & restaurants are).  There are lights everywhere and we were up on a stage and did our whole program thing.  We talked to so many people.  It was way fun!  We also sang at the honbu for all these Stake Presidents, their wives, and some other people.  Everyone was crying.  It was really neat.



Caroling in Tenjin

 

Also...Kitagawa san has a baptismal date!!! For January!  Yay!  He's so awesome!  His work schedule is just super taihen (difficult)

...so he can never come to church.  But he said he was going to switch his schedule around so he could come to the Open House tonight, so he'll be there tonight!  Yay!

Baba san got sick.  :(  We haven't been able to meet with her in a week.  She got a cold or the flu or something, but she's been real sick.  So hopefully we can meet with her again soon.  We're doing a 12 days of Christmas thing with her and Kitagawa san.  We have daily contact with them, and then on Christmas we will give them the Joy to the World DVD.  It's been so fun.

Still no new investigators.  We're doing a ton of finding and talking to so many awesome people, but no one that we can teach yet.  I guess we're just planting lots of seeds, huh?  Anyways I'm super excited for Christmas!  It's not really a big deal here in Japan though.  There's going to be a Christmas party for the ward, but that's about it.  Oh well.  Caroling was way fun!

So, next P-day is moved to Christmas.  Then the P-day after that will be on Tuesday because it will be transfer week. (So Mom...don't panic! :) )

Love you all lots!  Merry Christmas!!!
