Bus Addiction

So we are just chilling in sacrament meeting yesterday and you know because its fast Sunday, anyone can get up and testify and everything. Well this one super funny member who is kind of a little bit mentally socially awkwardish and maybe a little handicapped? I'm not sure but he's way funny and like 30 and so he gets up and he LOVES public transportation and he is always the first one up. And the branch loves him so much because he's so pure and funny and just way funny and he makes everyone just die laughing. Well he gets up and he goes off about how the other day he went to Miyazaki by bus, and that's a
pretty long bus ride. And then he stops during his testimony if you can call it that, and he's like "I think I have a bus addiction. Nah, I definitely have a bus addiction" and just keeps going and everyone was just dying. I'm sure he said some spiritual stuff too but maybe
not I'm not sure ha. He's way funny and then when he finishes he sees who is next, which is always the same four foot tall grandma, and he lowers the mic all the way and then pulls out the stool for her to stand on and makes sure everything is okay and gets off the stand and
it is just way funny but he's the sweetest. I love that guy.

Anyways this week was a long one full of going out and working all day every day for most of the days. We rode out to this place called Okawa shi, and it is the biggest furniture making city in Japan and they advertised it and google maps said it too. Way cool place. Well we
were out working and we met a Nepalese lady and she said to come back in an hour when her husband came back and so we did and he knew more Japanese and we are going back this week to give him a Book of Mormon in a language he will understand, like Hindi or something. There's way cool people out here that are just randomly out here that we meet and teach, even just for a second. It's way cool.

Then there was this cool drunk guy yesterday who didn't care at all what we were talking about but he was way funny and found out my comp knows a little Korean and so he was like " I know a little bit because one of my bosses is Korean" and so he started speaking drunk Korean and my comp told me he said that he just asks his Korean coworker "Can I smoke here?" "Hey, get me a beer." He might come to our English class. He loves us ha he said his favourite words were "good luck" and shook our hands 100 times. Way cool drunk guy.

We got called last week by a member and she was like "we are going to drive you around and put of English class posters that we made today to get more students." And I was like okay! And then the husband is like "give me the phone" and she gives him the phone and then he's
like "Hey we will do that too but don't eat anything because first we're going to go to lunch we will be there at 12" and I'm just like uhh okay and so we went to a Chinese restaurant and Chinese is 3000 times better in Japan. It was way good food. Then we went around and
he just drove us to random businesses and we would walk in and we got a ton of people to put up or posters, including a dude at a karaoke place, which are HUGE by the way, and he was like "are you guys Mormons?" And we said yeah, and he was like "no way when I did a home stay a long time ago in the states i stayed with a Mormon family. I'll take two posters and we will put them up."  Way cool guy. Obviously it wasn't a moment that we could teach him because he was working but it was a great moment for everyone.

That's pretty much it. Also its hot now and we are getting sunburned so I'm going to just do what Japanese women do and buy sleeves and just wear those and not get burned because its cheaper and more convenient than sunscreen.

My comp is watching the worldwide devotional right now and its about Joseph Smith, and Ill say a few words about that to end off. Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus Christ. He was used to restore the gospel of Jesus Christ. He translated the Book of Mormon through the power of God to be used for the convincing of men that Jesus is the Christ. I
know this.

Love you all!
