Konichiwa! This week was cray. My companion Fujita Shimai got her transfer call back to my last area in Chikushino!!! I was so excited for her! She's going to see miracles! Saying goodbye was so sad though. I love that girl! She's really become such a good friend. I've learned so much about love and service and just being selfless from her. She's the kind of missionary that would be calling members and less actives even during down time. Or the kind that would go out and work even though she's sick. Goodness, goodbye's are one of the hardest things about a mission. But! It's okay, whenever you say goodbye to one person, you say hello to another :D For our last P-day as the Miyazaki missionaries, we all went to a place called The Peace Tower! To be honest... I have no clue what the history is behind it. But! It was way cool! It kind of had a Lord of the Rings vibe to it. We felt cool B) My new companion is Babcock Shimai. She is a BOSS missionary. She is such a tough missionary. She was an STL before this and is just chalk full of good advice and experiences. We are going to work so hard this transfer. This is her last transfer so she's heading home. But she's so determined not to slow down. "Find, teach, baptize. That is what we're doing this transfer." That's what she keeps telling me. I don't go home for a while, but when I do go home, I want to be like her. She loves her mission. She doesn't want to go home. She's not thinking about home, or making plans of when she gets home. I'm going to be that kind of missionary. :D |
