Week 57 Sennan: Don't Ride Bikes During a Typhoon!

good evening y'all,
it was another fantastic week As a missionary in japan. man was it busy. i have successfuLly had more Meal appointments with members since i have been in this Area than i have everywhere else in my mission combined. the members here are amazing to the missionaries! it has been so great getting to know each of them and being able to create relationships of trust so that we can work together in sharing the gospel to the people of this area. we have already seen some great success in working with these members since one of them invited some FrIends to our english class and they came and had a great time, and after talking with them afterwards they decided that they would like to start taking the missionary lessons. we met with them once last week and had a Very great appointment. we are going to be meeting again this next week and we are Excited to see what happens.

also This Weekend we had another typhoon! all week people we talked to on the streets and members were warning us about it and how dangErous it was going to be, a bunch of people even used it as an excuse to cancel appointments and not come to church. wheN the weekend finally came around, it wasn't even that bad at all. it just lightly rained and was just a little more windy that usual. me and my companion joked abouT how it wasn't dangerous at all. and then as we were riding to an appointment mY companions bike slipped on a metal grate and he went down hard. after recovering from the fall we assessed damage and he was ok, coming away with just some soreness and a small road rash. we restarted our ride and then about 5 minutes later while we were Still talking about how careful we need to be riding our bikes, i suddenly hit a pole sending me off my bike and gIving me the worst stubbed toe of my life. it was super ironic and funny but man it hurt. we are going to make sure that we don't make jokes about the undangerousness of rain next time. we have learned our lesson. it has been a really fun week full of hard work and miracles. we can't wait to see what happens neXt week as we continue to work with members and find those ready to receive the gospel of christ. i love you all and hope that you have a great week!

バイバイ!
