This week has flown by! Mainly because the first half I was in and out of the hospital and laid up in bed. We also can't ride bikes because my front wheel is crunched. Over all I'm good, sore, but good, and also poor...very poor. There are only 1¥s in my wallet...so sad.
Monday we got Terada Shimai to drive us to the store, cause I can't move with out pain but we need food. I love this woman, when I first met her she told me she was Wanpaku Shimai the translation is like naughtiness. She is way funny and just says things that make you laugh, she is also a crazy driver o.o. She drove us to the church next and came in and she just whips out ice cream for us and the Elders. She was just talking and talking and I'm not really sure what she was saying but she turns to us and was like you should just come to my house tomorrow, you can't dendo any way right? Just come over and we'll make food.
Later on Monday we headed to the hospital again for....actually I don't know why......I still don't know why. I think it was like a check up? But we had the Elders come with us and so Elder Funaki was helping me sign in because he's the only one who reads kanji. If any of you have been to the doctors and done those self evaluation things before you go in you know that some of those questions are awkward. It got to the are you pregnant question...it ended up being this Elder trying to demonstrate what being prego looked like..gosh we looked like a a really dysfunctional family in the hospital. I can't understand any Japanese at this point because all of my energy is going to keeping my self up right and so I had Funaki Choro come with me when they called me back but I can't completely understand him so his comp comes to translate his simpler Japanese to English and then of course my comp can't be alone and so she comes too. Everywhere we went people gave us weird looks like why are y'all all here...? Anyway with the Doctor, he was like okay get on the table and so I do and they tell me to lay down and the nurse starts lifting up my shirt and I'm like no there are ELDERS in here!!! I hear cannon Shimai say "look at this bone!" And she points to a booster behind them. All manner of awkward.
Tuesday we went to Terada Shimais and she had made us name kanji. Mine was way long but then she goes upstairs for something and she lives in an old house and as she goes up stairs (she's like crawling) and this is hard to explain but there is a door that closes at the ceiling but opens so you can keep going up like an attic. The door started to fall and as it was Hancock Choro started shouting because it was gonna hit her but she just sits on a step just lower and the door shuts making a loud crash and she just smiles. She's like that, scares you and then she opens it back up and keeps going. I was dying it was so funny, she is such a cheeky old woman. While at her house we sang church hymns and she would go outside and come back in with her friends from off the street. And they're all old. Like 100 years old. This one grandma kept saying "na" after everything as now I can't stop saying "na" and I sound like I'm from Osaka or a grandma.
So this is the most detailed this email is getting...because my week was pretty boring other than Monday Tuesday and Friday. Friday we had dance game night thing and it was lots of fun. I'm sorry but it's all I got. I'm doing better. Oh wait one last thing!
So we have had a really hard week like everyone in our zone is falling apart in someway or another physically, mentally, investigators are being prevented from coming to church and such...we have been recently instructed that the powers of Satan are real in more ways than one. Recently the battle between good and evil has become more and more real. If you could keep the Fukuchiyama zone and Toyooka area in your prayers that would be the best.
Love y'all!
