Elder Tschirki in Japan: John

So let me tell you about John. He's this guy that is interested in religion and is meeting with the other members but lost all of his papers and money therefore he isn't here legally and is living at a members house close to ours and changed his back story a few times and won't let us take a picture with him and ran away and tells us how he is wanted by the USA government and his dad was killed by them and how he is going back to Taiwan next week but I don't know how he can if he doesn't have any money, and now he knows where we and the sisters live and was asking sister Anderson questions about her address, email, etc. and yet they still haven't called the police on is guy because everyone is naive idiots but as soon as we met him I knew something was wrong and he needs to go to jail. But even Kaicho said just to wait until he leaves on the 27. We'll I have to disagree with everyone here because we're getting stalked by this dude John and it's creepy. Well guess what, to make it worse, Elder Frederickson in Mexico dealt with this exact same thing last week. But yet nobody calls the police on this guy. Well, that's what happened this week. Harboring criminals, no big deal.

Anyways this week was good. We found a new investigator, Takamine san. He's like probably 50 and way cool. We taught Akira Kun this week the law of chastity and we sat down bro to bro and just we're straight up like "sexual feelings are good man, girls are way attractive man, but you just gotta wait" and he didn't have any problems with that and so he's good to go and we're almost done with the lessons. But the best part of this week was this. We had District Conference which is just Stake Conference, and President Sano was released after nine years of being president. The spirit was way strong there and you know he is a man of God. He's only like 45 so he will have a good life of being a 70 ahead of him. He has been a branch president since 25 years old. But so we're standing there welcoming people as the missionaries do in Japan and the Sano Grandparents that I love so dearly walk in the other side, and they were saying hi to people, and then they saw me and walked over way fast and skipped through everybody and shook my hand and gave him a hug and shook her hand. I told the sister missionaries that I was just going to play it cool and be like "what's up" but as soon as they came it was such a happy reunion and I was smiling so big. I have never met anyone in my life that I love more than those two and they were so happy to see me too and then afterwards we walked into the hall and Sano shimai started talking to elder Tofa and the first thing she said to him was "elder Tschirki eats too much, it's ridiculous. Can you believe him?" And just started laughing and man I love them. They officially come back next month and I'm so happy. As you can probably tell I am so happy. It was probably one of the happiest things that has happened in my life.

Mom I love my comp and the people in my district. Kagoshima is way cool. The area is awesome, the members too. Investigators are going good. The only thing is not living with Japanese people anymore, and instead of that three American people. I'm definitely more Japanese than American haha. It's true. The BBQ pics you sent look good but honestly I'd take a good Okonomiyaki or some sushi over that. Ramen is way good too. Udon is probably my favourite noodle. Raw eggs, fish, horse meat, etc. all so good. Japanese food for the win. Definitely living here after my mission.

Love you all!

Elder Tschirki
