A lot can happen in one week...Prayers and Ice Cream = Success!

dear family,

what do you mean it is hard to find accomodations for 6? isnt that about the normal size of our family anyhow?

well, this is the lamest rainy season i have ever seen to abruptly change the subject. its raining today...kinda. i call it satans rain cuz its more of a mist that you dont think could get you wet but really it slowly soaks you and you dont notice til too late. anyhow, but this is the first time it has rained in like a week and a half. what the lame???

as for your question about puzzles...they are ghibli puzzles and disney puzzles of course. what else? but i intend to send them home instead of keeping them cuz i gots no time as a missionary. hee hee.

apparently my package isnt collecting food so much as its getting eaten...*cough*aubrey*cough cough*

speaking of my package... Tani san is getting baptized! She told us that she really wants the Holy Ghost and so she now has a date set for the 6th of July. She still has a way to go but she has recently shown a great deal of improvement and determination to keep the commandments. please keep her in your prayers!

that brings me to my next exciting tid bit of information...

SISTER YASUTANI SHIMAI IS COMING TO VISIT!!!

she is coming for tani san`s baptism and just to see people before she goes back to Hawaii. I`m so happy!!! ^_^

Lets see, events for this week. Well, it was tiring to say the least. we had to walk everywhere cuz i lost the key to my bike and had to wait for a new one to get ordered. but God must have realized how much we wanted to find people when he saw us walk halfway across the area just to go to a daigaku.

the first person we talked to at the daigaku was really interested in english class. in fact, she was so interested that she took us to the cafeteria to meet her friends. then she took us to the teacher`s offices to meet all the american english teachers...then she took us to her english class and introduced us to her classmates and her teacher. THEN her teacher let us explain our purpose and invite people to eikaiwa AND she gave us her business card and wants us to come back and help out in class. It was CRAZY!!!

oh yes...that reminds me. we also met another girl who was an exchange student in america. she went to prom and we kinda talked about that. we have an appointment with her in a couple weeks and she is bringing her prom pictures and so i kinda need mine. (my junior prom pictures...no one on earth is allowed to see my senior prom pics) anyhow, if someone could find those and send them? I think i gave away all the wallets but the big one is in the frame on my tv. there may be a wallet size in my old wallet too if you can find it... but that would be fantastic!

ok let`s see, what else? crap. I hit the stupid kana button and now its trying to type in hiragana.

ok fixed it. that was a waste of 5 minutes.

ok well, there isnt a whole lot else that happened this week. no rain and finding lots of people to come to eikaiwa and of course a baptismal date. There has been a drought of investigators in kichijoji lately...i think they are all up in akita listening to brittan and then telling him they are coming back to tokyo tomorrow and declining the offer to meet with us. ah summer...what fun. but good things come to those who wait so we are still working and praying and praying and working and eating ice cream but working while we do that. =p

that is about it for this week! oh... have fun trying to arrange transportation and vacations!

Love,
sister halliday

ps. i got my bike key back. i am sooooooo happy!
