activity. It was a long, beautiful hike. My legs are still sore. At
the top of that mountain there's a lodge where hikers can stay
overnight and watch the sunrise the next day. They also sell
delicious udon noodle soup. We played some games on top of the
mountain and ate udon and took pictures of Mount Fuji.
It was good time spent with our English class students, too. One of
the Atsugi ward members invited one of her calligraphy class students
to come to the hike, too, and Elder Parks and I made really good
friends with him. It's really helpful when people have time like
this to warm up to us. We now have someone who we're going to start
teaching soon, thanks to that hike. ^^
Yesterday, we felt like it would be a good idea to call every phone
number we could find in our area book, even though the missionaries
who were here before us said they did that every week without success.
We actually got to talk to a few people and invite them to the ward's
Halloween party this week, and we found out which numbers were bad.
Then, that night, we got a call from Elder Soto, my MTC companion who
just got transferred to Yamato. One of the people we talked to on the
phone earlier that day is a Spanish person (also speaks Japanese) who
was referred to our area by missionaries in Yamato. We only talked
for a minute, but later that day he called the Yamato elders to tell
them that he got a call from missionaries in Atsugi and that he felt
bad because he was busy and couldn't talk much. Elder Soto (who
speaks native Spanish) was the one who talked to him, and he felt like
he should talk to him about the Light of Christ. From that
conversation the Spanish person decided he wants to take the
missionary lessons. :D
[I attached a couple pictures from the top of Mount Tonodake. You can
see Mount Fuji in the distance. ^^]
