Satisfied Frog - What a nice weekend

Ok, I'm all set and genki for the week! This past week didn't go so hot so I'm changing attitudes for the new week. I'm moving over to the "chill" track line. I think I'm thinking about things (lesson plans and such) way too much here. I'm just going to put together what I put together and try to make things fun. I'm getting way to stressed out about such small things and it's making me really doubt myself so....this week will be different. In fact, I'm feeling different already.

This weekend was soooo awesome!

I went to the Tokyo Temple. (Forgot my camera -____-) But had an amazing time non-the less and a blast in the 4 hour drive to get there. WOW the senery and Japanese country side is amazing this time of year. It's like nothing I've ever seen before! I wanted to cry because I forgot my camera but I'll get down there again sometime. Maybe in August. I chatted with my little Japanese and slow English to the sisters around me and had a wonderful time getting to know them.

This morning I woke up to find my bike had a huge FLAT tire so I ran to the train station and had alreayd missed it so I called church and let them know that they needed to find someone else to lead the music that morning. I got there waaaayyyy late but I got there. Then I went home with Sister Tanabe. She's my Japanese mom. She calls me a sister misionary I call her my companion (we a visiting teachers) Anyhoo she invited me over to have lunch with her and her daughter and her daughters friend who happens to be a JET. So we had a great time yakin' in up with the ladies. Sister Tanabe made really yummy pizza and the JET brought yummy little variety cakes! It was so fun. Then Sister Tanabe droped me off near the pachinko where I met up with Elder SaSa and Gorton to go to a discussion at a members house. Mari is investigating the church. She comes to E-kaiwa (the english classes given by the Elders) I've met her and have visited on serveral occations. We had a great 1st lesson. Then Sister S. drove me home, she even sang me primary songs which was so dang cute! Anyhooo I had an awesome weekend and I feel a lot better about this comming week. I'm not gonna stress, I'll do my part, be prepared and just let the rest roll and take it's course! Whoo hoooo, I'm all genk-ed up and ready for a new week. I'm also excited too because we finally get paid at the end of this month YAY!!! I'll need to get my tire checked out too, good timing I guess.
