Dear Family and Friends,
Hey there, hi there, ho there. The last week has been a week. It started off on a downward slope. Well, let's just say one word to define the whole of it-- stress. Haha. So, I went from district meeting, to the stake center (takes over an hour from Shonan church to get to the Stake center in Shonandai) and was a half hour late for SPM, which is a meeting with the stake leaders. It's basically a big Correlation meeting wih the missionaries and the stake. Sister Training Leaders and Zone Leaders attend, so I was there! But we hold a meeting before it, which is when we discuss what exactly we want to mention to the stake. And I was thirty minutes late. So we were rushing there, and since both sister Lambert and I would stay the night in Fujisawa area that night, we rushed home to get our bags, and then take off for the stake center, but on our way, my companion realized she didn't have her bag of clothes and whatnot for exchanges! Oh no! I asked her if she wanted to turn back, but she was such a saint. She said she'd be fine, and it was more important for me to get to the meeting. Also, she hadn't eaten dinner yet. >.< ahhh! What a grave and a blessing she was. We got to the Stake center thirty minutes late, and the meeting was already pretty much over, but I came in, (I had my backpack with clothes in it) and went to sit down, but my backpack knocked over the computer on the desk behind me, and it went crashing to the ground. I screamed. And then hid under the table(sort of, not really. I just hid my face). One of the elders immediately jumped up and started taking it apart. To figure out what was wrong. (He is a lot like Jeremy. Way high tech. Knows his stuff about technology. He was the tech staff elder for the mission for a while). Then, the other sister training leader in the zone, Sister Lopez asked if I needed to go get some water and we took a walk. Well, then we all went to the stake meeting, and it went well. It seems the computer was mostly ok, it just won't turn on because the one button that's used to turn on computers is the only thing that broke. But the ward said that they will fix it. 申し訳ない。 But that's my story for the week. I was so stressed, I broke the Fujisawa computer. ^.^ lets just say it probably can't get anything but better from here. Well, then I have another story. My trainer has finished her mission. Sister Padelsky, Sister Hokanson, and Sister Akamatsu, my first three companions, all finished their missions last week. Sister Padelsky actually is still in Japan. Saw her at the temple today with her mother. :) we took one last picture. It was great. She and President Wada have roots back to when he was a missionary. When President Wada served as a missionary in Temple Square, he met Sister Padelsky's mother, gave her a Book of Mormon, and invited her to read it. Then they parted. End of story right? Well, actually no. She went home, read it, met with missionaries and took the lessons and then decided to be baptized. I don't know the whole story, but it is just cool to see how the Lord really does have eternity in mind when He send missionaries where He sends them. Her mom is great! I loved meeting her! Love, Sister Blake Pictures 1,3, 4-- sister Padelsky, Sister Akamatsu, Sister Hokanson. :) Picture 2- lets play I spy. I spy with my little eye Mt Fuji. I spy a rainbow. Hey, look, I spy with my little eye another rainbow! Wow! And the yellow hung off to the right looks like it must be-- "sun!" Comments are closed.
