Well, we had THE WEEK this week, that 7 day period you have some point during the transfer when you can't wait until P-Day. So last Monday night we had a 1.5 hr drive up to Iwamizawa to stay the night with the Zone Leaders. The next morning we were up early and had a 2 hr drive up to Asahikawa for their zone training meeting with the 22 members of the zone. The zone leaders had a good workshop, we had a 5 min part in it, and it all went good. We all got lunch then the 4 of us returned to Iwamizawa and went on splits there that night. Wednesday morning we all were up and out the door early to return home, the ZLs had splits in another area along the way so we took them to Ebetsu and dropped them off (note: I did all of that driving). Got to the mission home at about 10am, started transfer talk with Pres. Evans. It seems my last area is decided, well, I helped decided, but the Prez keeps moving me around in the system, I think he is just playing with me until the last minute. That afternoon we prepped for a mission correlation meeting with a local stake presidency and that night we met with them. We got home, and spent the rest of the night in the office prepping the agenda for next transfer's zone conference. The next morning (Thursday) I drove us 1.5 hrs down to Eniwa to go on splits with the ZLs there for a few hours before us (2 APs) the 2 ZLs and the other 2 Eniwa Elders hopped in the van and made the 5 hr road trip down to the southern tip of Hakodate. There just happened to be a blizzard raging on our way down there - I'm talking snow blowing sideways and barely being able to see the taillights of the car in front of me and mostly judging by the guardrail next to me and semi trucks coming the other way that send clouds of loose snow into the air that cut off visibility completely for a good 3 seconds. Yeah, I was a little on edge the whole time - drove all of that too. Got to Hakodate that night, and stayed the night in the Elder's apartment, with 14 of us total. The Next day (Friday) we had their zone training meeting, did a great job, we had a 15 min workshop, got lunch at the awesome burger place down there. After several delays and dealing with people with little common sense, we departed from Hakodate that afternoon with the 2 APs and the 2 Eniwa Elders and 2 Sisters. There was also a raging snow storm on the way back again. We stopped off in Muroran (one of my old areas) to drop off some things, I made a detour to cross the big bridge spanning the bay, it was well worth it, very nice view. We dropped off the Eniwa missionaries and got into the mission home at about 10:20 pm Friday night. Saturday was pretty normal, office work and our Sports Night activity that night at the church, Sunday was good, an Investigator came to church for the 3rd time and we had a great lesson....So yeah.... this week should be a little more relaxed. But, it's the Mission Home: It's never quite as calm as it seems.... Have a great week! Elder Andrew Kade Jones
