1400 hours Aomori Prefecture Aomori
city
Not a lot of time so i will send a
real funny story and try and get the rest in!
Fun food fact:
Add another flavor to the good ones.
Ice cream I have eaten this time was at a seaside shop famous
for................. Scallops!! Significantly better than the clam ice cream,
more of an interesting flavor then a gross or super good one!
Culture point:
The waiter at a restaurant will
never come check on you to see if you are ready to order or need dessert or
anything like that. (Most places will come fill your water if you are empty)
but there is a little button at 95 percent of restaurants, that I have been to,
that you push and they come immediately. I like it! Genius I think.
Spiritual thought!
This week I was assigned to give a
talk on conversion vs. testimony and the highlight of my talk was that I think
most people want to do what they know is right, they just still have the
desires for the bad things but the answer to that is found in alma 22: 15 and
16! I really love this scripture time is up bye!
Funny story:
We as native English speakers teach
a free English class for service every week to anyone who is interested. We
have no money because we are all poor college student age kids, so we can’t
advertise it very well. One of the
things we do, to make more people aware, is we hand out flyers at the train
stations to anyone who is interested. I actually love doing this! But, because
we are advertising it is annoying to some people (just like it used to be
annoying to me) so they don’t take them. So now that I have been on that side
of the fence I feel for the other flyer giver outer people and I always take
one! I will never reject one till the day I die!
So Macnab Sensei and I were walking
along one of the busier streets in town and about 50 yards in front of us I see
this gal giving out flyers. I think “I will take one!" and as I watch her
I see her just get rejected by like 10 people. It’s cold outside, snow is
falling, you can’t really blame the people but you got to feel bad for the gal.
So I tell all this to Macnab Choro, in about 10 seconds, and say,
"hey you go make her happy and take one for us!" (She was on his
side) So, he, with a big smile and saying "thank you so much thank
you!" goes up to her. She doesn’t
offer him it. She says something that I
couldn’t quite catch in the bustle (he is new so didn’t understand it
either) so he just grabs it in her hand and takes one of the little handouts as
she has this little giggle smile like she is trying not to laugh... kind of
weird.
I then rewind in my mind and all
the people she offered it to were women and it all made more sense when he came
back and said " this cover-up is a bit too dark for your complexion"
It was our first time with free makeup sample lady...
Love each other for me!
