Week 26: A week in the apartment ( Week 17 in the field)

Hey Ho Hello, it's me!


   This week was slow. Elder Uhlig was sick so we did almost nothing all week so he could sleep. 
He really was dying... well, maybe that is a bit over exaggerating, but anyway, he was really sick.  He still got up at 6:30 a.m., and got ready, realized that he's still sick and went back to bed after taking a shower.  The first day of his sickness (Tuesday), I made him apple sauce and Chicken noodle soup from scratch.  He enjoyed my food!  I'm sure glad about that!  Other than that, I had one extra personal study, an extended language study, and a whole bunch of New Years' deep cleaning that I got done.  On Sunday, we had a Gaijin (foreign) kid come to our ward.  I was glad to be able to talk/translate for him in the primary.  His name is Stephen and we're now friends. Our week of Dendo was about 4 hours this week because of Elder Uhlig's sickness, but we were able to do another Dendo slam (It was in the rain so I hope Elder Uhlig won't get sicker) and 4 hours on Saturday and Sunday.  Also,I was able to go on splits with the Naha Elders and that included another 3 hours.  It's not the most we've done, but at least we were able to talk to some people.
Besides, that, not much happened. I posted a picture that I drew on facebook and I'm proud of that.

That was basically my week.

Week 19: The end of Thanksgiving & So on (Week 10 on the field)

-

Hey,     So the Thanksgiving was rough... at least to start.  We had P-day (Preparation day) last Thursday, and between a gap of fishing and actually eating Thanksgiving dinner, there were a bunch of logistical errors.  The senior couple missionaries set up Thanksgiving dinner so that us, younger, missionaries could have Thanksgiving on one of US Air bases.  They set it up so that some districts or companionships would make it on on of U.S. military bases and others would be treated by military families off base.  So my district (excluding Elder Inamori and Elder Takahashi--whom would have Thanksgiving off base), were to go with the Patterson's.  Elder Boll and Elder Palu were also supposed to go on the base, but with a family named the Tucket's.  The six of us then met at the Okinawan Chapel to be picked up.  Brother Tucket then came to pick up Elder Boll and Elder Palu.  They left, but about 5 minutes later,  they ...

Week 22: Hello's and Goodbye's (Week 13 on the field)

Hey,   Almost everyone got transferred in the Naha Zone.  All of the polynesians are gone, new faces came in, and it's a new era of Naha Zone Elders and Sisters.  Out of our zone, Hippolite しまい/Shimai (Sister)  was transferred and a Naha sister, Rush しまい , took her place.  Elder Boll died (I know, that sounds horrible, but this is what missionaries call "going home"), Elder Palu was transferred to Kagoshima, and Elder Lim was sent to another area (I don't remember where).  Also, The Naha しまい only have a two-man since Baquinquito しまい died and Spendlove しまい was transferred to Fukuoka.  Everyone else stayed; I stayed, Gallarde しまい stayed in Shuri, Elder Takahashi stayed in Itoman, Elder Uhlig is still my companion.  It was hard saying goodbye.  Many of my friends were headed out and I'm not sure if I'll see many of them later.  Elder Palu, in the last 2 minutes before going through security, gave away his uke...

Week 12: Typhoons, Zone Conference, and No General conference?!? (Week 3 on the field)

Hey,   So, this week is the second straight week we've had a typhoon, and it was during our zone conference.  We went up to Okinawa city and met with our mission president.  There was this giant meeting and they're switching everything up.  It seems like I am always being a guinea pig but it's all good.  We get new flyers that we pass out and it's more oriented on helping other people and their personal affairs.  It's a tri-fold with a whole bunch of QR codes. They have sections on Family Affairs (That has things like "how to make a family stronger," "addiction recovery," "marriage help," and etc), Volunteering (a service site), Family History, Education help, Eikaiwa *(This changed a bunch also-this'll help people a lot more), and how to find a work-life balance.  It's an interesting thing, but I'm not sure how things are going to go.    My companion, Elder Uhlig is super nice.  H...
