Week 48/49/50 - 名寄 - Long time no see

Well, According to mother I have not sent an email since April. Which is maybe/almost true. So i guess I’m supposed to tell everyone I’m alive and breathing. Either that or what Elder Wight always says which is upright and mobile. I suppose for him its different because he is 70. Qs from mom: What did you end up making with your chopped garlic? I… I don’t remember. But I made Japanese fried chicken the other day and put it on the Google photos and it was so good.

Week 41-42

Week 41/42 -名寄 - ( T _ T ) \ ( ^ - ^ )

Is there someone in your life who could use your words of encouragement or advice? Old or young, you know something they don’t or can encourage them in a way they can’t do themselves because none of us know everything or can do everything yourself. Go encourage that someone and grow their light a little more this week. Anyway. This week you got it, get back into the swing of things, make strides to change to be who you want to be.

I’ll get more consistent again eventually I think. I made apple crisp twice this week, bread twice, cookies twice. I’m once again not surprised Conference was pretty good and this week no body wanted to talk during Fast and Testimony meeting. What are fast and testimony meetings like in Japan? Do people jump up and rush the pulpit? Is the same crusty people that tell the same stories? Does the bishop/branch president give you the eye, implying that you should come up and share something?
