WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!! I survived this week! It was a bit of a strugglebus but we made it!
We started off the week by going 3 hours south to Ube to do a mini junkai with our Sisters there. I had so much fun being comps with Sister Wilkinson! AND I got to wear a kimono. This sweet lady that helped us put on the kimonos then paraded us around town (a department store, CITY HALL) to show off our gaijin-ness (foreigner-ness) It was lots of fun!

I got a little sick this week, but it's all good because one of the nice Sisters in the military branch is a nurse, so she has been making sure I can still work! Iwakuni is so much colder than my last area!!! I love it though! We had a lot of adventures this week. 

I finished meeting all of the people I need to know. All the investigators, less actives, and ward members. This Sunday we went to the Yanai Branch two cities over where the Japanese members meet. It felt like coming home!!!!!!!!!! I missed speaking that much Japanese! The Elders are sooooo great! There is Elder French (from Canada) and Elder Kishihara from Tokyo.... then Elder Chantry from Utah, and Elder Ngatai from New Zealand! Then me and Sister Campbell are from AZ......... it is fun. They are such good Elders :) They are suuuuuuuuuuuuuper funny!

This week we had Zone Training Meeting with Kaicho and the AP's- it was really good and we focused on finding THE ELECT (ie the people who are prepared and ready to accept the gospel). Kaicho is a good man. He really cares about his missionaries. I am so sad that they are getting ready to go home soon!

That is about it for this week- sorry this is short, but I took lots of pictures!

Send me your favorite scripture and a SELFIE please! 

Much love
