Update for the week: Last p day we had a dinner appointment.. The Matsushima family invited allll the kichijoji missionaries over for dinner. So many people! sister Matsushima must have been cooking all day... I have never seen so much food in my life. I wish I took a picture because there is no other way for you to understand that I am not exaggerating. She had like three gigantic trays of sushi, spring rolls, soup, eggs inside meatballs, fried potato things, fruits, probably 10 other dishes and then desserts. Oh my goodness... I didn't even have one bite of everything. So full... I don't know if I actually ate that much or just got full from seeing so much food. Haha they are too nice... Even sent us all home with some groceries like cereal and fruit and snacks. The weather is starting to get really nice... Didn't even wear a coat today! It will probably be rainy later this week but the sun has been shining and there have been cool breezes. Today for p day we went as a zone and with the mission president and some of our friends to hike mt takao. Our investigator, Oikawa Shimai came with us! It was a gorgeous day... It was a pretty easy hike but so beautiful. Lots of tourists and people to meet. It was fun but we were so worn out from a long day! I will send pictures! This week was pretty crazy... A sister in the mission was sick so she came to stay at the mission home. One of the kichijoji sisters had to go to her area and then the other three of us has to take turns switching off to stay with the sick sister, sister Hokanson. It was tough to coordinate our schedules and appointments and lessons with investigators... And it actually turned out that most of our appointments got cancelled on us. It was just one of those weeks... But it all worked out. We learned that we are definitely not in charge of this work and we will always receive the strength and help we need! The other night we had another huge dinner appointment with all of the missionaries in our ward at the Skinner family home. Their son is a recent return missionary and he invited lots of his friends from the single adults to come, too. So it was a big group! And again... Tons of food. But it was fun... She had tortilla chips and tortillas! Stuff that's hard to find in japan... Been missing that Mexican food! Sister wells and I were asked to prepare the message. We decided to share a video about the atonement and share our testimonies of the Savior. We prepared cute Easter treats for everyone and went on a hunt to find chocolate eggs and jelly beans! Success in the import shops :) our lesson was a hit! The single adults were from all over the world... And all had super interesting stories for what brought them to Tokyo. And all us there were either currently serving missions, return missionaries, or had a mission call... So the lesson was a little intimidating haha I will be using Facebook soon... Gotta clean up the old account but once my name becomes sister reeves you will know I'm on again :) let those you know who are reading the blog know that it will be private... And they can receive an invite from Cassie. Thanks for everything, Sal! Today we got transfer calls... Yes, it's been six weeks in the field. Drum roll..... I will be staying in kichijoji and my follow up trainer is sister feist! I'm excited... She is such a great missionary! I'm happy to stay with this ward and the investigators I've started getting to know. Sister wells will be staying too and training a new missionary! I won't be the baby in kichijoji anymore! We are gonna miss sister Sasaki :( she will be heading to Fujisawa on Thursday with sister Hokanson and they will be training a new missionary too! I'm excited for the newbies to come... We are lucky in kichijoji... We get to exercise with them and dendou with them during their first couple days here anyway, that's all for now :) be happy and keep smiling. This life is incredible!
Love love love y'all. It sounds like everything is going well at home... That makes me so happy!
