So, I need to apologize for the incomplete post of last week. I had fully intended to create an amazing post this week, but my new area is REALLY lacking in public computers within safe, missionary-friendly areas. I do not, by any means, have reliable access to the Internet and I do not expect that to change until hopefully June or so. Therefore I am handwriting this and hopefully it will arrive before too long.
I had told you all that I had transferred, but I did not tell you where I had gone. Well, here is the answer: Yokohama.
"What's that you say?" I hear you ask. That is correct, ladies and gentlemen! I have come to my favorite city in Japan: Yokohama!
I am not in the same area I was in before. I am now in an area called Kohoku. This is in the area NEXT to the area I was in last time (Yamate), and it is the same stake as Yamate. This means that YES, I have met most of my friends over the past two weeks. Super Mama gave me a hug and a huge gift when I first met her. I was super surprised and very happy. I love Super Mama!
I met her and the majority of my other friends at General Conference this last weekend (April 10-11).
"But hang on," you might be saying, "General Conference was Easter weekend. You mean April 3-4."
Yes and no. It takes a week to translate General Conference, so the JAPANESE version airs the weekend after. I still watched it in English. They divided the church into several areas. Japanese was downstairs, and English, Spanish, Korean and Chinese were upstairs. It was really cool to step out, get a drink, and hear the prophet speak five different languages :)
Oh yeah. Happy Easter! I looked up Easter in the Bible Dictionary. I had no idea about Eastre; that was interesting.
Well, I need to actually start wrapping up. I need to prepare a lesson for one of our newest investigators. She is amazing; I can't wait to meet with her again.
Before I go, congratulations, D, on your new baby girl. I cannot wait to meet her.
I also want to extend a thank you to everyone who is still continuing to write me. I know the responses are infrequent and I apologize, but I do read and treasure every letter. So again, thank you.
Okay, that's all for now! I hope to write a REAL post next week. But if not, see you after this transfer! (Maybe!)
