Thirty kids and a couple missionaries celebrate

3/29

This week was incredible. Truly, truly incredible. Weirdest thing in the world--we had it all planned out, then it was like the floor was blown out from underneath us--EVERYTHING fell through. It was incredible. I don't think I've ever seen a week like the one we just had. We taught a grand total of 11 lessons--one higher than our lowest. I'm not even disappointed it was so bizarre.

And I'm sure you all want to know about the iPads. They have safely arrived. They're fine--nothing exciting, although I'm happy to say that Quizlet has become a part of my daily language study. I want to become more acquainted with it--it'll be a powerful tool if we became friends.

Z. Shimai and I are having as much fun as ever. And although we didn't have the lessons we had planned this week, we did get the opportunity to talk with a number of really fun people, and we enjoyed plenty of time together. Do you remember the little 17-year-old we met a while back? We've actually gotten to be fairly friendly, and while she still has little interest in the gospel, she's very interested in English.

The Easter eggs have arrived safely!! :DDDD Very happy, very happy. The members are a little overwhelmed. One of my favorite people was like "We might not be able to get more than thirty kids here." That made me laugh--thirty kids is like, twenty more than I expected. I'm excited to give them to investigators and people on the street and the like, I mean, come on! It's Easter! The Savior ROSE FROM THE DEAD. That's plenty cause for thirty kids and a couple missionaries to celebrate.

Also, transfers are coming up. I'm torn. I really, really, don't want to move or change companions. I love Z. Shimai and I want to keep working with her. I'd be so happy if I stayed. On the other hand... As I am, I feel like I've learned a lot from Okayama, and I wouldn't be surprised if my time has come.

I don't think so, though. I think I'll get one last transfer in Okayama before shoving off.

Man, I love it here. I'll go where He wants me to go.

But no reason to feel one way or the other--we got another week before the trumpet calls.

:D

I'll probably stay.

Love,

Sanzu Shimai
