Dear everyone,
First off... OMEDETOU GOZAIMASU! Congratulations on your wedding Isaac and Kandace! I thought about you two the whole day. I think I calculated that you probably got married when it was around midnight here so I wasnt awake for the wedding... but I was awake when you were having your reception and I was thinking of all the fun everyone was having. I got a bit homesick, but I gotta keep going. I am glad I have another sister now! Kandace Robertson! Ooh that sounds good.
I am excited to see pictures. Please send me A LOT!
Oh one of the ladies in my branch told me a story about how there is all this crazy stuff happening with a family in Utah right now. A stake president went crazy and killed his wife and then his son killed himself later on? Do you know about this? I thought it was crazy. We really are in the last days.
Good news, I bought a camera! Now I can send some good pictures home and document what Im doing over here. Mom, do you upload the pictures I send home? Can you even do that? Before I left for my mission I remember that I broke the printer... sorry. So I dont even know if you can scan things into the computer anymore.
Recently I also finished 3 Nephi finally and set some goals! My goals arent anything special. Most of them are just like about developing certain attributes and different missionary work goals.
Lately it feels like we havent been doing too much because guess what, we now have (drum roll please...) ZERO INVESTIGATORS! Welcome to missionary work in Japan everyone! We have been teaching people with our family english program where we teach English for 30 min and then the gospel for 30 min but at zone meeting this week we learned that unless they have a sincere desire to learn more about the gospel and not just English, you cant count them as investigators. So yep the people we were teaching are definitely not investigators. Yesterday Tui Shimai and I set some pretty good goals to find a new Q this week. Oh we call New Investigators New Qs because in Japanese the words for investigator is Kyudoshya and so we just shorten that word to Kyu which sounds like Q! So if I ever say that... now you know what it means. We have been doing a lot of mogis lately though. Mogis are when we teach the members the lessons and ask them to pretend to be a Q. We also have had a few meal appointments here and there...but the work is quite slow.
Oh mine and Tui Shimais big project right now is translating the member record with all the Less Actives from Kanji to Romaji. Kanji is the Japanese characters like this 姉妹 and romaji is when I spell Japanese words out with the english alphabet. It has been taking forever!
Besides that, nothing else is really going on. I just am way curious to hear about the wedding!
I love everyone lots and lots!
Love Sister Miranda Robertson
