Party 'til Elder Ito dies

     First off we had Zone Pday on Monday last week and it rained so our BBQ idea got washed out. We ended up playing sports in the church gym and eating crock pot BBQ instead. It was still good. We also went to visit our Little Brazil District and got some big burgers with them. It was way fun to be with them for a little while. They're all really cool.
     We had a Mission Leadership Council in Tokyo and had to get up super early for that because we live 2.5 hours away. We came in earlier than everyone else and saw President Nagano running on his treadmill upstairs and said hi to him. He was surprised to see us.
     We talked to our samurai Less Active friend and he agreed to teach kids at the church every week. We obviously won't let random kids walk in and swing around real katanas but they're fine to swing sticks around. At his dojo we finally figured out how to use shuriken so Elder Lilya and I can do it really well now. I'm becoming a ninja samurai.
     We had 3 days of farewell parties for Elder Ito because he's dying and going home soon. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday the Ward threw him parties. They gave us a total of 5 Costco pizzas in 2 days. That's why I can't diet here. Sunday night we throw a dinner party for the YSAs and then teach them English. It's way fun. It was on fast Sunday so we brought a feast and just about everything disappeared.
      Now the reason I am writing this on Wednesday instead of Monday is because we had Zone Conference on Monday. That was a lot of fun. I'm sure my mom has like 47 pictures from it on Facebook somewhere so if you'd like you can ask her. The pictures of me aren't very flattering so it's fine if you don't see them. Anyway, that took all day so at the end of it we asked if the Naganos wanted to get dinner with us and after getting approval from Sister Nagano, President Nagano agreed. It was delicious and super fun. President Nagano told us some stuff about North Korea but not much. It's funny that he's the one to tell us non-missionary related stuff most of the time. Then Tuesday I told President Nagano we needed a new microwave during our interview and he bought us one during his lunch break! What a bro! He's great. I know they always do what's best for us and really are just here to help us out.
