Elder Tripp's Mission Blog

MINASAN. OHAYOU GOZAIMASU. (Good morning everyone.) Who is your new companion? Ethan Roberts. Where are they from? Ohio. How long have they been on their mission? Ages. I think a year. How many people are in you new ward? Active members are about 30. Inactive is about 300. Is it a ward? Nope, a branch. Do you eat at member’s houses that often? Never. What do they serve? We had a curry luncheon at the church.

Okayyyy Mlem. I suppose meta conversation is cheating isn’t it. I dunno. Its usually unproductive. Okie dokie. Highlights: Japan doesn’t celebrate Halloween. But we do! We had so many people come including most of our friends(we had like 10ish friends and 10ish random and 20ish members) it was so much fun. We, as a district, dressed up as care bears and in true Tyghe fashion I was the gloomy bear. It was fantastic.

Yo. From Mom How is your Japanese coming along? “Pretty good” -ethan “👍” -vincent What’s the biggest thing you learned during your first transfer? Go talk to ppl. From dad How did your transfer go? Good What did you have to do? For what. Often we had to leave early in the morning to be able to get to the train station on-time to use the cheapest tickets for travel. Leaving at 4am was not crazy.
