Well, only 2 [days] have happened since I last wrote

And it [one of those two days] was a Japanese holiday, so we didn't Dendo much because members had us over for every meal and we ate for HOURS. The food was amazing but toward the end I didn't want to see another bowl of food again. But all the members were so sweet. We played lots of Japanese games.  But mainly ate. I'm not lying when I say I probably gained 50 pounds.  I'll just write about some highlights.

C: I can't remember if I wrote about him last week. But I meet him on splits with the other girls in my apartment. He's from New York and is KINJIN (golden investigator (is that what their called in English). Well, the other sisters had an appointment with him and their joint fell 


through so we jointed. It was a beautiful lesson.  Well, his wife showed up and yelled at us.  That was scary. But he came back and said he wanted to keep learning and finished the lesson. We talked about God and families. He ate it up. He said that everything we were saying answered a question he had. I felt like a real missionary (it comes in phases, the feeling like a missionary thing). Anyway, it was good and after the lesson I was on cloud nine. I could teach and explain and give 


examples and share experiences. It was beautiful.  

S2: Then right after we had a lesson in Japanese. (Our recent convert has been dendo-ing got on her own and found S2 for us. She's gold (both S's). She already wants to be baptized. After 1 lesson. So our lesson went really well). Biggest shock of my life. I went from a functional human being [teaching in English] to a not so functional human being [Teaching in Japanese].  And it was SO hard. I may have had a breakdown during the lesson. Actually, I've had like 3 breakdowns in the past 2 days. It's been a little rough. Mainly because I expect myself to be fluent already. And I just want to connect with people but I can't. I try, but can't. So I've been feeling really down in the dumps. But yesterday I was reading the scriptures and came across 2 Nephi 4.  Nephi's psalm. Read it. That's how I felt. Pretty crummy. But as I read, and as Nephi's perspective changed, I saw mine could too. God has given me so much and I have accomplished so much through Him already. I just need to quit focusing on what I can't do (it's way hard but I'm working on it). But I'm in a happy mood now. So don't worry ☺️

Well, that's all that really happened. My companion was sick yesterday
so she slept and I studied. Well. Next week should be more normal.

Love you!!!!!
