Week 30- Planning Ahead
Aloha 皆さん、
Not gonna lie I'm pretty awful at planning ahead. So basically among other things planning wise one thing I'm pretty bad at is watching spending habits. How Mission Money works is every month they give us money on a debit card twice. Generally on the 1st and 16th ish? I need to figure out when exactly because the last time we received money it came a couple days earlier than it was supposed to and that money is supposed to be used on food, cleaning supplies, etc. Basically essentials and don't worry I AM spending it on essentials. However I don't know somehow in my 面白い brain I thought I only had 2 p-days (preparation days) before the next period. So I copped a ton of quality meat and ate out a little more than I should have. Anyways I'll be making food for the next week LOL. As I've grown up I've begun to realize how important planning really is. When it comes to anything. Especially when it comes to goals or self improvement. I can go around saying I'm going to lose 20kg this year all I want. But without a set plan I guarantee that will never happen. The same goes with anything in your own life as well. Recently that has been super apparent with friends. I'm pretty awful at planning what to share and usually just let the spirit guide what I say but that's kinda hard when you aren't fluent in the language you speak LOL. God definitely nerfed me with Japanese FR. Anywhoosies recently I've had to implement planning a lot more into my life and I've seen the benefits. Although sometimes I still kinda mess up but it's all good. We live and we learn. I'm so bad at planning I forgot where I was going with this though and I'm out of time so till next week.
Highlights:
-Zone conference
-General Conference
-One Piece
-We get a car for the week
Zone Conference:
So we had a Zone Conference this past week. It was good as always. Basically it's just two areas/prefectures/zones coming together to listen to trainings and testimonies and it was super fun. I learned a lot. The President talked about this new thing in the Gospel library app that talks about sharing the Gospel and providing resources for members to use to do so. And now he wants us to share it with every member. Sooo yeah that'll be good fun, more member messages. Literally always my favorite visiting members and getting to know them! I'm super excited for that. The APes gave this training on baptismal invitations and invited us to extend more invitations to our friends! I think it'll be super fun. I love extending invitations. I feel like you can always feel the spirit and show how much you care so hopefully there will be a highlight about those invitations soon. It was also just good to see some old faces! But overall it was just super awesome!
General Conference:
So we aren't in America so unfortunately we don't watch conferences live. Super sad but it was super interesting to try to listen to deep spiritual thoughts in another language but we push through. It was super fun though and I really liked a lot of talks. Especially the talk about the Japanese Kanji! If you've never listened to it shoot me an email I'll send it to you. It was super good and a must listen.
One Piece:
WE GET A CAR FOR THE WEEK:
W. This morning at 5:30am we woke up to kick the APes out of Fukuoka (drive them to the airport) cause they gotta go to Okinawa. Anyways we get their car for the week which is a huge blessing because Fukuoka is wayyyy too big and we are way too busy so it's really hard to focus on people out of a 40 minute bike ride radius. So hopefully we can visit some far away friends and members this week! We will see how it goes :p
Anyways that's all I'm mad dead. I need to rewrite some email thoughts when they come to my head fr.
Shoots!
愛してます！
