August 4th

Fam! Hello!
Tuesday: exchange with tachibana Shimai. We went to zone meeting and
then visited a recent convert to write her conversion story to share
with all the missionaries in the mission. We took time for her to pack
because she was transferring and I rested because I got an ear
infection! :(


New companion: Sister Merstrand

When we exchanged back, sister Bryson and I went to dinner at the
zeller family's. So fun!

Wednesday: last day with sister Bryson and very busy! We wanted to see
like everyone before she left! We taught Tomoe and then went out to
lunch with her and a recent convert and they hit it off way well. We
took notes and goodies to Genki and Regine and Yuko and Patrick. Then
we met Misako for dinner. And then English class!

          The district and ward mission leader last transfer:
Sister Barnes, Sister Tachibana, Sister Bryson, ME, Elder Carlini, Elder Nishidome, Elder Hansen, Elder Scott, Elder Menzawa, Elder Crandall, Brother Kohinata

Thursday: transfer day! Woke up way early to see everyone off at the
train station and then we traveled to kichijoji. I went to the doctor
with a Japanese sister and got medication for my ear. Sister Merstrand
and I came back and visited a less active for her birthday and talked
to people at the park. Then we met a potential investigator for
dinner. We ate at her home and her husband and son were there, too. It
was a really cool experience and they seemed interested in the family
English program. Weird connection... They used to live in the house
that we currently live in.

Friday: we went housing near a members house and then did a role play
lesson with the relief society president and her husband. Then we
headed to the church to teach Patrick... But he couldn't find the
building so we did a role play lesson with the member who came for his
lesson. Then he showed up an hour and a half late so the elders met
with him.

                              Tomoe!

Saturday: district meeting. We went housing near a members home and
then visited her and prayed with her. Did some weekly planning and
then had dinner with a member and three non-member grandchildren.
Sunday: way good missionary coordination meeting. English class.
Church! Submitted stats. Then headed to the park to meet some new
friends! We were dying. So hot and so hungry from fasting. Came home
and ate dinner and then I got way cold and was literally shivering.
Turns out I was way over dehydrated. Got way sick. I'll spare the
details. But don't worry... I learned my lesson. Drink water before
I'm thirsty. Also... Working hard is great, but working smart is also
important.


Training hard for the Tour de France.

Today: lesson with fumiyo and her little girl, kana. Way cute... They
prayed to their Heavenly Father for the very first time :) we are
meeting again on Friday.


English Class

Good week. Miracles every day.
I love you all more than you know. Thank you for your love and
support. Write me ;)
Love, Sister Reeves
