So my bike brakes are completely out, my front brakes are pretty good still though so that's okay. Ive had a broken spoke in my back wheel for like two months and its probably screwing up my wheel but it's still good. Part of my chain broke but it still runs good but it's
probably just a matter of days or weeks before that breaks too and I got a punk in my back tire last week and I had to get it fixed and the dude ripped me off way hardcore and charged 3200¥ which is like 30$ it was ridiculous and I'm just hoping my bike lasts me the rest of my mission. It might not haha so like we tried everything to take off a chain from a returned missionaries bike and we couldn't. Pretty much you name it we did it and that bike is now unrideable. We tried so hard.
So this week was pretty good. We went to Nagasaki for exchanges and I worked again with Elder Campos and we had a ton of fun trying to take off said chain, and then his comp got cut on the finger and had to get stitches so i got to stay in the apartment with him while Elder Campos and Elder Winchester went to go teach a lesson haha it was crazy. Their apartment is two Brazilians, an Asian dude from Cali who is learning Portuguese from them and Elder Murdock from Utah. There is so much Portuguese in that apartment hahahaha it's way funny, they're a way chill group of guys.
So our investigator from English class is golden. I found out she doesn't drink alcohol or tea or coffee haha like that's insane. And then we taught her and we don't have a lot of time, only like 20 min and she said she read about the restoration in the pamphlet and the whole time she read it she said she felt like it was familiar and like she knew it from a different life and asked about that. Unfortunately, my comp kinda talks a lot and went in to the next thing and killed the flow hahahahahha right as I was about to be like "of course we knew it before! We all did and we accepted it!" And do the pre earth life thing to really affirm what she said and felt but yeah she is so solid and we are meeting her again on Thursday and we will have like an hour probably and it will be so good. She said when she prayed through the name of Jesus Christ she felt so much peace and love and it was awesome. We are so excited for her. Her name is Sachiko and she is like in her 40s and is a single mom but her kids are moved out and she works as a esthetician. Way cool lady.
I guess that's the coolest thing. We all knew Gods plan and we knew what it entailed and that it includes the fact that some of us won't make it back through our own decisions. But how great is it that we have the chance to learn and grow, and how great that we will be
resurrected to perfect bodies that will live forever. How great is it that we can choose this for ourselves? Its a great life.
All you can eat breakfast today with Bro Cook and Sis Monette. She's from the Philippines.
