His eyes are yellow.......

Osu! (How the men greet us in Japan hahaha.) 

We have two investigators right now that were found for us by other missionaries! We haven't had a chance to meet with them yet but we are planning on meeting one of them this Wednesday. 

I'm so glad that the chemo port is out! Man that thing looks like it would be so annoying! But I guess when you are getting chemo it's better than getting a new IV every time. 

Scott sent me some pictures of prairie! I forgot how beautiful it is up there! You really learn to appreciate those sorts of views living in the city. I have seen the view he sent me like forever but it just looks so much more beautiful now!

Radiation doesn't sound too bad. A lot better than chemo. 

I don't have any pictures yet but I'll get some hopefully for next week! If you look up "海岸公園平塚市" it should put you in a park next to the area that reminds me of Hawaii. 

So this week was alright! Me and Elder Lind  didn't have any lessons but we did lots of finding! We went to the eki for Mother's Day and talked a lot with people about their mothers and then another time we went and talked about their families and stuff. We write it in English so that way people will actually have to stop and read it. Then, because it's in English, the conversation could go either to English class or the gospel! Either one is fine since it gets them in contact with missionaries again. 

We went and visited a potential investigator family yesterday but they told us to come back later when the mom was there. They are from Peru! But their Japanese is flawless since they've lived here for 12 years. 

So this week my eyes decided to turn yellow. The whites of my eyes are mostly yellow. Not immediately around the iris but a little further out is all yellow. So I called sister warnick and they had me go to the eye doctor. He told me there was no problem. Then she had me send a picture to the mission doctor so he could look at it. He said that it's called Jaundice.  Well that's what they call the yellow anyways. The cause of why it's there they don’t know. So right now I'm just waiting to see if certain symptoms appear. But my eyes also itch. And my stomach has been bad lately. So I don't know what's going on with me. 

In Japan it's rude to knock on a door if they have a doorbell. So we went to this big apartment and the elevator was broken. So we climbed to the tenth floor and started from the top. Nobody answered! We ran out of time and walked to the bottom again. We notice that the elevator was working again! Then an announcement went over the intercom that announced the power was back on. I thought, man we could have used the elevator! But then I realized, the doorbells didn't work! Hahaha. At that point we ran out of time and couldn't go back but I thought that was pretty typical for me. 

I am so grateful to have a knowledge of the restored gospel. I love the comfort it is to me that we have a purpose for being here on this earth. We have so much more purpose than to just come here and do whatever and hen die. We have a Heavenly Father who knows everything and who loves us so much. He gave us this opportunity to grow and to learn. I am so grateful for the comfort of that truth. I am so grateful for eternal families. I am grateful for God allows us to have the priesthood to be able to seal our families together for eternity. 

I love you! Next week should be a normal P Day!
