Sweet treats from sweet people

3/2 水


This week is really the week of receiving.

Today, we caught 'em all. Unfortunately, there were only three cute
Disney princess mint cases to be had :\ Cinderella, Rapunzel, and
Elsa. Super cute, though. We went down to visit F. kyoudai,
finally. and on the way, we passed Nagai Kouen. There were a couple of
policemen standing on the street corners, so we asked them what was
going on. It was a soccer game between Japan and North Korea. My
companion, a soccer fan, said it was probably a friendly to prepare for
the Women's World Cup. I was like, "Cool." She exercised some serious
self-discipline, and didn't let it distract her.

Unfortunately, F's house was...unfindable, so we ended up going back
to Nagai Kouen to dendo, and as we were about to head out, we saw a
guy and talked to him. His name is AS kyoudai, and we taught a really
solid lesson and committed him to pray and meet us again. I'm excited.

We went back to the church to teach Y Shimai. On the way, we bumped
into S kyoudai, who stopped me (M. Shimai ran inside to greet Y. Shimai)
and he was like, "It's hinamatsuri ("Girls' Day") tomorrow, and you guys gave me chocolate
for Valentine's Day, so I put something for you two in the fridge. Be sure to
get it, okay?" We gave him a big thank you and rushed inside, where Y
Shimai gave us bread. We had a solid, if a little long, lesson with H Shimai.
Y shimai's really changed.


Also, day before, A Shimai gave us macadamia nut Kisses and really
delicious brownies :D They were the best pre-packaged brownies I think
I've ever eaten.

By the way, we took home the food in the fridge, and it was this
beautiful 4x4x4 inch white box with a red ribbon. Beneath it was
another, slightly larger box. Inside it were two ADORABLE hinamatsuri
themed cupcakes--both with little disc-shaped, painted white-chocolate
figures of the main couple of the hinamatsuri. Super cute. I don't
want to think about how much it probably cost, but it was beautiful.
In the box beneath were four disc-shaped hinamatsuri-themed
(assumedly) white chocolate (it's colored pink and yellow).

WOW. We'll give him a big thank you this Sunday.
