Transfer 1 Survivor!


HOLY MOLY!!! ok I have like no time on the computer today :/ so sad! we had a long day at our recent converts house so we are limited on time today. So we got transfer calls today!!!.... I wasn't worried at all. My Japanese companion was sure she was leaving chiba and that I was going with her because she is my trainer. Well, that didn't happen. Shes still leaving and im staying here in Chiba with Sister Wilden.. She's also only a first transfer missionary.... WHAT?!?!?!?!?! ahhhhhhhhh!!!!! I am so overwhelmed right now! I honestly cant believe it! The assistants on the phone said we would be training each other! ha! this is a joke! Thankfully she is half Japanese and knows a lot of Japanese but not everything... and we are both still so new to the mission!!! im in shock! super overwhelmed! But obviously other people think we can do it hahah so that must mean we can! I am so excited! this is going to be a huge growing transfer for me!! hahah! I cant wait!!!!!
I wish I had more time because this was such a great week! I went to Yachiyo for an exchange with Day shimai! she was in my district at the MTC! oh we had such a great time! we talked to so many people and saw so many miracles! We stayed up all night and ate peanut butter!! I haven't changed much since ive been gone :)
Tried lots of new food this week.. ugh. I ate crab for the first time! not a fan... but its not terrible! and I was also forced to eat nato.. its probably the nastiest thing in all of japan. fermented beans. they are super sticky nasty nasty nastiness! hahahha! we got it all on video don't worry! I did my best not to throw up!
This weekend we had a typhoon!!! not too crazy! just super windy and rainy! it was so cool!
I think Heavenly Father was preparing me for this upcoming transfer announcement because this entire week I felt so very loved by him! every single day I felt his sweet spirit warm my heart! I had such a great week! We taught about the atonement this weekend so I spent a lot of time preparing. I love my savior with my whole heart and soul! I will never understand completely but I know that I need my savior. I cant do anything without him! He is my everything!
So grateful for the wonderful feelings the spirit brings! We can always have his spirit with us! What a blessing!
 
lots of love!!!!
