Bean Training!

Alrighty, well...I'm staying in Fujisaki for the fourth transfer!  Woo!  I am actually really good with that.  But the crazy thing is...I'm training!  I still don't know how I feel about that.  Mostly I just feel extremely unqualified and inadequate, but I must have something to learn from this.  I still don't really know anything about my "bean" (brand new missionary coming straight from the Missionary Training Center in Provo).  I hear she is Japanese, but maybe lived in Utah for a while.  So probably she is perapera (fluent) in both English and Japanese...maybe???  No one I've talked to really knows.  There are only three new sisters coming in this transfer and one of them is mine!

But exciting news!  Willis Choro is now my District Leader!!  He is staying as are Kuchar Shimai and Merrill Choro, so we are all still in the same zone!!  YATTA!!  Wilson Shimai and Nakamura Shimai are both leaving.  Mori Shimai is staying in Fujisaki but will be with another sister in different part of Fujisaki. 

We are doing way good right now.  We found 2 new investigators in the past two days.  So it's been fun.  We also have a guy that's been less-active for years that has been coming to church!  He is the coolest guy ever!  Seriously.  But things are way good!  Yesterday I spent the whole day at Trainer's Training!  It was so good!  I love the APs (Assistants to the President).  They are so great!  I learned a ton, and I'm really going to try to be a good trainer.  There are definitely things that I'm going to have to work on.  I feel like this is going to be another one of those "baptisms by fire" experiences!  :)  It may be interesting.  But really I'm so excited!  I know there will be a ton of stuff that I will learn from her.

Sorry, I don't have a lot of time.  Earlier we went with all the Fukuoka missionaries to the Fukuoka Tower.  SO FUN!!

Really, I just want everyone to know that I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!!!  It's hard sometimes, but it is the best thing ever!  This Church is 100% true.  I have no doubt.  I know it's true.  Crazy things are starting to happen in Japan.  One day, Japan is just going to have an explosion of people coming to Christ.  I don't know when, and I don't know how, but I have faith that it will.  I love Japan!!! :)

I love you all!
