Fukuoka!

Hello Pet,....You may call me Aunt Vicky!!

I think that might be the first thing I say to Kaite when I get home.

So this week was transfer week. I left Chickushino and moved a 20 minute train ride to the City of Fukuoka! It is the biggest city in the mission and the place with the mission home. It was fun to see President and Sister Gustafsen on Sunday. Its a little intimidating but, Injanai. 

This week was prety sunny! I was so happy. Fukuoka is REALLLY hilly and our appartment is at the top of this huge hill. mozeltov. Its the city- so basicaly like being in Chicago. Maybe not as big but lots of city life stuff. Also lots of cool stuff to do. We used to go to Fukuoka all the time in Chikushino for pday because it was so close. There are like 12 missionaries here becuase of the APs the office boys the 2 ZL companionships, and 4 other sisters and 2 other elders that cover the outlying area of fukuoka. WOW. 

Also something cool- the temple is also in our area! The temple is on a huge hill as well. There is no way to get there that is not uphill. There is no easy way to get to the temple!

This week was hard to leave Stamatia and Nozomi, but its okay because I get to go on splits there! Also guess what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stamatia got her Fiance visa so she is okay to move to america after she does a check up in Tokyo. YYYYYYYYYYYESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! She got it the day that I left. I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have some great stuff going on in Fukuoka. One miracle this　week was a lesson with Naruni San. He is from Nepal. We got to his appartment (it was a first lesson) hoping that he would actually be there and he was. We started talking in Japanese but figured out he likes english better (they had been trying to meet before and he cancled 2x. Sister Lewis old companion was Japanese, so we think he had to cancel so we could do the lesson in english!) anyway. he had all of these great questions about Jesus Christ and God and he was like is there a way I can confess my sins and be forgiven? and I was like..................um YES! it was way cool. He also prayed at the end of the lesson. He had prayed before for help from God and he felt like he had recieved it (he got in an accident earlier this year) so I know he was prepared. His prayer was so awesome and beautiful. He was like I didnt even know what to say but I just started and it all came out! I wish I could type it all up here. It was the best first lesson prayer of my mission. 

We met a few times with this cutest less active that doenst know much about the gospel so we are starting at square minus zero with her but she is way cute and has a real intent to know if this is true and I know if she excercises her faith she will know.

Okay so about the apartment- its a huge!!!!! apartment! it could fit like six girls but  there are only two of us! I really like it. And my new companion is Sister Lewis. She is on her last transfer. I am so excited she is the best companion ever and is a great friend already. She is about five five, way cute and has black curly hair and shes way skinny and looks like jo from little women. 

One sad peiece of news. My camera kind of was dropped and it was an accient but he is not doing so well. I am going to try and get it fixed but we will see so I am sorry if I dont have tons of pictures!!!!!!!! but I can get them from other missionaries so dont worry. 

I am still on my bike! I am actually borrowing Ito Shimais bike right now because mine isnt here yet. 

The 200 people was mission wide- we wanted to get 200 non members to church as a mission. ANd we got 205! it was way cool. 

Have a great week! Good luck with Football and School and Cross Country! you guys rock!
