So, I got transferred again for the last six weeks. This makes ten
areas and fifteen companions over the course of my mission. My last
companion is Elder Ikeda, a native of the Kansai area. I've been in
the same zone or district as him for more than half of his mission, so
we knew each other fairly well already. He was a railroad worker for
seven years before his mission (doing electrical work for the electric
trains, I think).
The area is called Kouhoku. The ward building (which happens to also
be the stake center) is shared with the Kanagawa ward, and because the
number of missionaries in the mission has gone down, the Kouhoku and
Kanagawa areas are now the same district. Up until yesterday I'd been
going to church at 10 am every single week, but Kouhoku Ward meets at
1:30 pm. It makes for a somewhat different Sunday experience. :P
The missionary "apartment" in this area is actually a two-story rental
house on the edge of a sizable cliff. It was opened last year while I
was working in the mission headquarters, so I got to see it between
the furniture getting put in and the missionaries moving into it. I
moved into it myself last week, and when I got there the owner was
around back looking for leaky pipes with a jackhammer. Turns out that
it's a much older house than I realized.
