1700 hours; the path of the typhoon.
You need not worry about us too
much because in typhoon season it is really not that bad this far north. Just
lots of rain and wind. :-)
Fun food fact:
I sent pictures to support my
story! So at stores there is normally a section (my second favorite section)
where they just have different ice cream treats to eat! This is one that I had
never even heard of before coming here. Its ice cream in the middle and is
normally vanilla but you can get chocolate or other flavors. On the outside is a
layer of what is called mocha, which is beaten cooked rice. Unless you have
eaten mochi, it’s really hard to explain the texture. I can’t do it! The closest
thing I can imagine is wrapping mom’s pie crust around something and not cooking
it, but it sticks together more and doesn’t fall apart in your mouth at all. It’s
a tiny bit gummy almost. Anyway, you can eat it about 1000 different ways, but
this is one of them! It’s yummy but you always want more
after you finish. :-p
Culture point:
I am 80 percent sure I only imagined telling
you guys about his in my head, but, if I did tell you forgive me. You can say
thank you while driving to other people by flashing your blights or turning on
your hazard lights for a couple blinks!

Spiritual thought:
It’s kind of interesting be a
foreigner in a country especially here for me because pretty much everyone gets
that I wasn’t born here. Everyone will
ask the obvious question of why am I here: work? You might be a graduate
student? (people in Japan look young until they are 106 so the average guess of
my age is 26) and then I say I am a volunteer missionary that teaches people
about what I have found to be of great value in my life, and that I am doing
that and teaching a free English class for anyone that wants to learn. They say something super nice because that’s
just how they are. Then they ask me why I decided to this. I found a talk by an
apostle of Christ that explains the reason and I would like to share it!
Funny story:
We went to a famous park on p-day
as a district and were having a merry old time eating good food, meeting cool
people, seeing cool flowers. Once we had saw most of it, we found a big grassy
area and one of the older elders had brought some balls, a Frisbee and a boomerang.
And like any normal human being I wanted to throw some balls, runaround a bit,
and play. So I did. I showed my companion how to throw a football, shot
some hoops, threw the Frisbee a bit. I then decided I had to give the boomerang
a whack. But this was no ordinary boomerang. It was the expert level kind I
think. Very very difficult. With patience, having experimented around a bit, I
got it almost to come all the way back to me, it was just a bit short, a bit
on the weak side. But other than that pretty much perfect! So being ready for
my big debut and wanting to show everyone how cool I am I give the famous,
"Hey watch this." So everyone shuffles over to me and stands in
a couple lines on either side. I just get the perfect angle and use every bit
of strength I got from my feet through my hips and into and whipping arm...
So there is a sister in our
district that reminds me a lot of Sarah... she is actually from North
Carolina but more soft spoken and less rough and tumble. So just imagine
that.
I swear on my life that that boomerang
shot straight out of my hand, winked at Newton, and took a hard left.
Right in the face of the
admiring Sister... you could hope for a like glancing head shot or something
but no... She didn’t even cry or wail or give me what I
deserve... but Low Choro got a pretty good laugh out of it.
Love each other for me!
