2/14
日
Today was pretty miraculous, at least in the A family corner. We were about to
go out the door when we called B Shimai. She told me that E-chan would be going
to church with P Shimai.
We went to the church and heart-attacked the bishop's desk (covered it with cut
out paper hearts) like super secret ninjas. Then we took out all the chocolate
bars that we had wrapped for Christmas and unwrapped all of them. I was like,
"Hey, we should totally keep the wrapping on. I'd think it was
funny." Then we looked at the wrapping job (*cough* S. chourou *cough*)
and it was kawaisou sugita. So we took it all off and put it on a cute tray with
a note that asked all the nihonjin (Japanese people) to take one. After DCS, we
handed them out ourselves, because nihonjin never take free handouts on their
own. But it was really cute to see all our priesthood holders (in Japan, girls
give to the guys on Valentine's Day) get super excited when we gave them
chocolate. And we got rid of about 40 chocolate bars. YOSH.
Afterwards, we attended a nabe party thrown by the YSA. It was delicious.
Ichiban besto thing about having a male YSA leader throw a nabe party is that
it is sure to have a lot of meat :D And it also had a bunch of delicious,
thick, doughy-skinned potstickers. (Note: We did eventually clean up the salad
we made Tuesday. Kesa, we found our plates in the freezer. They had been found
and put in a safer place. There were black marks on the plates where the eggs
were... *shudder* I am the worst human being in the world for making someone
clean that up after me...).
Then we cut more hearts to heart-attack some of our favorite people.
1.) K's--The Ks were our first stop b/c our target's M-chan. ...We heard a
noise on the stairs so we nigemashita (fled). Then as we resumed our
super secret heart-attacking, a van pulled into the street and look! It's
K-kyoudai! He gave us a wave and told us to wait. We nigeta, but decided to
stay, after all. So we sheepishly crept back and he invited us inside and gave
us orange juice and got pizza while we talked with M-chan. The chouroutachi (elders)
joined us, we watched a video on ridiculously high Japanese numbers and finally
escaped after eating three cookies and a piece of pizza. The spirit was like,
"Leave, fool." And after a bit, we finally managed to. We shared a
nice message at the end. Failure. Score: bishop’s desk, win, M-chan’s, fail. One out of two.
2.) I-shimai-- It took forever to find her house, but we did, and by the light
of my new bike light, we stuck hearts all over her gate. SUCCESS!! 2/3!
3.) Y-shimai-- Buji ni (safely) stuck hearts all over her door. SUCCESS! 3/4!
4.) M's-- We found their house, attached to their business, and as we were
sticking hearts all over their door, someone came to the door. Afraid of being
found, we tried to escape. But they saw us and got upset. "They"...
were not the M's... Confused, we rang the bell of the business and asked M
Shimai if that was a different house, despite the fact that it shared a roof
and an address. ...It was. Well. We thanked them, told them we loved them and
that we accidentally heart-attacked their unhappy neighbor, and left. Then we
came back and heart-attacked them. ...Not quite success. 3/5.
5.) K shimai-- Our neighbor. Stuck hearts all over her door and ran back inside
to make curfew. BUT IT WAS A SUCCESS! Final score: 4/6.
Until today, we didn't actually know that someone could fail at heart-attacking.
But we got 66 percent... Not even a C. But it was fun. :D
