Week Thirteen.

Hey mom and dad! Thanks for your letters!

 

I did enjoy the Typhoon quite a bit because President Rasmussen told us all to stay in our apartments! So we had kinda a second P day! It was awesome. We took naps... did as much dendo as we could in doors with preparing... and had some fun taking pictures and such. We also did a lot of cleaning. It was a good day! Very very very rainy and windy though!

Also we have the occasional earthquake too here. I can never tell if it is just the apartment that has problems when a car passes by or if it is a small earthquake. But usually in the morning my desk will shake for a few seconds. Its cool.

I have a request: I have been buying a lot of clothes to protect me in the weather. It would be great if you could send me a balance of my account every week so I know where I am at. Thanks!

So we have been making a little progress with Otaki san. I found out that he is scared of crowds.. we taught him about the Book of Mormon and prayer but he said he doesnt really believe in that stuff so he probably wont pray. But he did invite us back again. With the transfer coming up and a new bean chan coming, we will probably have to pass Otaki san to the elders.

We did find two new investigators this week though! Kawashima san and Hirano san. They are a mother daughter combo! They both are so sweet and so prepared. I am excited to start teaching them more.

I feel like I dont have much to report on. But I do have a lot to ask for, sorry!

Mom, here is my list of things I need.

Crest toothpaste

PB M and Ms

zone protein bars

flavor packets

(the food is optional ha ha i dont need it.)

venus- embrace razor refills

maybelline dream liquid mousse foundation- classic ivory

CG fresh complexion concealer (it has a blue lid)

my black pants from my closet

my warm socks from my dresser (red/white, yellow, turquoise stripes)

ear warmer (can buy here)

eye drops

black tights and little socks for flats. I am a size 9 shoe.

nylons (i can buy some here so this is optional)

I bought 2 pairs of tights today and 2 pairs of little socks, but I need more to cover for the whole week. I have to wear socks in other peoples houses. Its a must.

The raincoat we bought me doesnt work. It is terrible. So today we are going to go look for a raincoat and rain pants. Hopefully I can find some good stuff. I didnt realize that it rained so much here. I bought a coat today and also a nice family in the branch i am serving in ordered me a cheap good coat off of the internet! so That should be coming soon.

I am doing pretty good, still homesick sometimes though. I hope I can pick up on the language soon. The transfer ends Oct 27th. I should be staying and we should be getting a new bean chan.

To all that have asked: for my entire mission, you should always send your letters to the mission home and they will forward the letters to me. Please, and thank you!

ALso to my friends, if you want.... I am wishing I had some music to listen to! So if you find some good church music and wanna make a good cd, you can and then send it to me! Thanks!

Thanks for all you do, I will talk to you next week.

Love, Miranda
