Week16

そ。せんしゅの火日から私はよかったです。　今週私たちは And for those of you who don't speak or read Japanese, these first couple sentences say: `So.  Since last week I've been good.  This week we had 264 attempted conversations.  That means where we try and stop someone on the street or knock on someone's door.  I think out of all those there's 3 or 4 who we have a possibility of seeing again or who showed even slight interest.  Yeah we had a very busy week.  No baptismal dates or anything yet but we are working hard.  However our time may be slightly limited.  We get transfer calls this Friday.  Odds are that I will be staying here in Tama, but we're not sure about my companion.  He's been here 4 transfers.  So we just have to wait and see.  We both hope he stays though.  Wow coming up to the end of my first transfer already.  That's intense.  I don't know about all of you back home but time really flies here.  So yesterday was `seishin no hi.`  It's a holiday here in Japan and one of the things involved in this, is taking a big hammer and a big tree trunk piece with a bowl carved in it, and pounding the heck outta some rice to make a dough called mochi.  It's then put with all kinds of other foods and a lot of them taste real good.  So other than that we spent the week doing streeting, housing, and a couple lessons.  Our Eikaiwa (english class) for this year has started again too.  And for the first time today we saw a little bit of snow.  And I mean little as in like a few flakes.  But the weather is starting to think that it wants to get a little colder.  But in any case, that's how Japan is going.  みんなさんきょつけて下さい。　愛しています。
