Week 22

Week 22 - 釧路 - earthquake

Posted by Tyghe Tripp on Monday, December 8, 2025

Welp just had another earthquake. Hope we don’t all drown. I guess. Kamachi chourou is gremlin for earthquakes. Bro is in the corner saying “my precious” and is so ready to be evacuated. Fortunately our unfortunately nothing will happen. Except an annoying alarm on all of our phones.

From dad:
Where do you keep your futons during the day when you are trying to use your space for other things? You can fold it and put it in a closet but if you dont have a closet you can just fold it and stack if you have multiple or set it in a corner. Would I need to make a closet just for this? It is common to store them in the closet during the day.

How is your friend pool? Four 27 year olds. 2 金人 and 2 淡々人.

Any good progress on Sunday? Not this most recent one. But we have a Christmas party that most of our friends can come to. Most of our friends said if they can they’ll come to church but sleep through church…

What unique things do they celebrate around Christmas time in Kushiro? Idk. O-shogatsu?
Does everyone order their KFC dinners? Take out i think. Is this the anti-thesis to the Christmas story, where they get Chinese food on Christmas eve? I thought only we get Chinese food on Christmas eve? Also yea?

What about Bodhi Day? Apparently a tree is involved. It is celebrated December 8th. And can be called Rohatsu in Japan.
今までそれについて聞いたことがない (I’ve never heard of that before.)

Cool things this week:
We made: sugar cookies w/shimais. Brownies for eikaiwa. Chocolate chip cookes with a friend. Bread for sacrament meeting(they keep announcing my name every week and a thank you😭) and chocolate chip cookies for the apartments consumption. Lots of fun stuff. Lots of planning.

“Nothing else” -Burgess.

Mormon 4:21-22 the moral is if people start to sacrifice your children, you should probably run away.

Or

Mormon 5:24 is about the same amout of self explanatory but a tad more important. Why were the nephites running in the first place? Because they fell away. That’s something they could be a hard decision or a series of small easy decisions, but either way when you fall away and don’t repent you better start running and if you arent faster than the other guy, (mormon 5:7) youll be torn by the lion. Either way you’ll have to put in the work.
