Helloooo family!
Sooo we are in Kichijoji for transfers right now so get to e-mail at a place here in town before everyone meets up. I have had some AMAZING experiences this week. First off, this week has seemed very long since we didn't even get our Pday on Monday but now on Wednesday so it was like 10 days without stopping. But very fun. And the other day we biked out to the Maeda family for some service on a very hot sweaty day probably 7 miles up into the mountains, cut bamboo (which is surprisingly easy and fast but still a workout!) and weeded for 3 hours, then biked up another mountain to visit with Yuko shimai and have dinner at her family's house. We were SOO exhausted and sore! But it seems like Yuko's parents might be able to take the lessons, they had a lot of questions. She was baptized about two or three years ago so I'm sure they've seen the great things it's done for her! :) Ok but way cool: my first transfer. But first, I have to say that this was a testimony building experience as small as it is because you totally know before you even get transfer calls. The day before is planning day for the week, and kimochi-teki (by feelings) you know if you are staying or leaving.It's so crazy! Like, I just couldn't focus and did not feel like it really related to me anymore. And then the next morning we got calls and they told me I am going to MAEBASHI, Guma prefecture... but it was really no surprise. That just confirms so much that the Lord really is protecting and upholding his missionaries and that we DO recieve revelation for what we should do and where to go to help the people in our area! It was very cool.
So yeah, I'm transfering. It's goodbye to Kofu the biggest shimai area, and hello to Maebashi, the second biggest and slightly less countryside shimai area ;) The Lord truly knows me and that I might freak out in the city. Maybe he's easing me in and before I know it I'll be serving in downtown Tokyo :) Oh, and my new companion is a Nihon-jin! My very first Japanese companion. I'm pretty nervous. I've heard her English isn't even that good. But I'm very excited to meet her in just a few minutes! I don't know if we'll e-mail this next Monday but I'll try.
Well love you all lots and am excited to tell you about Maebashi and I will miss the amazing peaches and grapes we've been blessed to receive from members in Kofu. The Lord loves each of us and knows our hearts!
Have an awesome week and don't forget to read your Books of Mormon! They may not be on gold plates anymore but the contents are still worth as much as gold;)
Love,
LeFevre Shimai
