Well, Im a week into this transfer, here in flat, muggy Obihiro. This is quite a change, as my last 2 areas were famous for their hills, and were on the coast with a nice breeze allways blowing. Whoe doesnt love weather in the 90s and 99% humidity? And of course theres the 24/7 sweat. We get up and run, come back dripping. You shower, clean up, then sit at a desk for 3 hrs and still perspire. Then you go out and bike around all day and come home disgusting. Then you lay down on your futon and sweat yourself to sleep. I am looking forward to fall!
Not much happened this week. We had a Mission Leader Conference in Sapporo, we all met up with the other Zone Leaders and discussed business for several hours. The only lame thing is we are the farthest away, and had to come the night before, which meant we missed the once a year fireworks show here, which people come from all over for (its apparently the 2nd biggest in Japan). Oh the life of a ZL.
We did get to experience the hospital this week. Elder Stouts had a nice ingrown toenail for a while and finally decided to get it taken care of. We got to wait 3 hrs for a 5 min procedure, and it cost us $280. Whoopee! We considered trying to contact people, but people were coming in and out and anyone that looked like we could have talked to seemed not quite in the mood to talk about God. So we kept ourselves entertained by looking at kids picture books. One was about learning how to use the toilet. This little boy goes on an adventure learning how different animals poop, and he finally gets to use Mr. Toilet. He gives a few pushes and does agreat job. Then its "bye bye Mr. Poop!" and down the drain he goes! I think people were a little concerned about the 2 white kids crying laughing reading a kids book in the waiting room. At one point a nurse comes to get Elder Stouts temperature, tall him to put a thermometer in his armpit. I ask if he can do it anally, since it gets a better reading. She looks at us totally straight faced and goes "well yes we could do it that way too..." Elder Stout went for the armpit. Would have made for a much better story!
Well thats been about it, hopefully this next week will be a little more interesting. Take it easy!
