Konnichiwa!
Hope life is well in the USA.
Life here is good! We had a really good week. The temperature definitely took a
dip and its getting colder but its still fine. Everyone keeps telling us to
brace ourselves though since although it doesn't snow too much here, the whole
place freezes over and gets icy. Not to mention the ocean wind. Although, an
elder did tell me that Kushiro has the 3rd most beautiful sunset in the world
(not sure if I believe him but the sunsets here are beautiful.) Either
way, I'm glad I brought all the warm stuff that I did because I'm going to need
it haha.

| City of Kushiro |
This week was district
conference (the smaller version of stake conference since we aren't in a stake).
So we had 4 shimai spend the night in our apartment Saturday night. Nanjo s and
Gibbs s were 2 of the 4 so it was fun to be reunited with them. Nanjo s goes
home next transfer so that's sad, but I was glad I got to see her again (and
show her our nice apartment hehe). We had a musical fireside and of course, the
missionaries performed a few songs. It was fun!

| Taking a moment for some good sushi |
Dendo [missionary work] was good this week. A lot
of housing, visiting old investigators, visiting members, and only a little bit
of getting lost :) I'm getting better with directions! It helps that neither one
of us knows the area so we are completely dependent on the map and Spirit. We
met the man who came to church last week again, turns out he has quite the
story. Japanese mafia for 40 years being the biggest part. That was a
bunch of new words that Id never heard! Although knowing the word yakuza [mafia] was
enough haha. We were also able to meet a sweet lady/referral from the choros
[elders] and teach her a lesson. We also met a lot of potentials so we are excited for
what's to come. We have got our work cut out for us but we are ready for it. We
love Kushiro, the people, and the Lords work. Keep praying for us; we are going
to need it! Thank you for all of your love and support!!
Love,
Sugihara Shimai
ps. Thank you Jay Decker family
for the letter! Definitely made my day :)
