This week was great, as usual, because being a missionary is the best ever. Yes, we most definitely did celebrate Thanksgiving this week. We had a real Thanksgiving feast on exchanges with the Sister Training Leaders! It was so fun. Our meal was complete with frozen veggies, instant mashed potatoes, and stuffing from the international store #blessed. Haha! It was awesome. Being on a mission makes you grateful for so much, so I loved having a day to really think about that. I get to see people's lives change every day because of this gospel. It's such a blessing, and I really feel so thankful to be a member of this church and have the knowledge of this gospel! We are a lucky group, us missionaries. :)

| Sister Mod with Sister Moffat and Okamura Shimai. |
This week while on splits I was able to go teach a less active named Okamura 姉妹. Her story is a miracle in itself. She has been inactive for 10 years and about 2 weeks ago had an impression to go to the church one random afternoon. She told herself that if she saw even 1 missionary she would start taking lessons and start going back to church... Well, it just so happened that the day she came was zone conference, so not only were there 30 missionaries there, but our mission president and his wife. WHAT?! SO COOL. We were able to teach her this week and the spirit was so strong. I felt so much of God's love for her. God really does care for each of us so individually and being able to see that with Okamura 姉妹 was something so special.

| Black Thunder from Takayanagi Kyoudai. He is so kind. |
On a completely different note....Remember when I basically bore my testimony about the Black Thunder candy bars that we have here? Ya. Well tip for anyone who ever comes to Japan. These people are the kindest people in the world and they love giving presents. Wellllll, everyone knows my favorite candy bar is Black Thunder... So this week 2 members gave me giant bags full. It was seriously hilarious. Ask and ye shall receive, right? More like tell a member your favorite candy and have a lifetime supply! 
These people are just too nice!

| Black Thunder from Shimamura Shimai too! Shae is the luckiest girl ever! |

| The Tokyo Tower. Looks surprisingly familiar, right? |
Last pday we were able to go to the Tokyo Tower. YOU GUYS! IT WAS MAGICAL. Tokyo is just the most amazing place in the world. I am so lucky to be serving here with the greatest people in the world. This is my amazing companion, Sister Wootan's last week. I can't believe how fast this time is flying. I am so lucky to have had her for the past 2 months! Thank you for the constant love and support. I am so blessed!

Fun facts: (just one today bc wow this thing is a novel)
-In Japan everyone has what we call a "genkan". It is a little entryway where you take off your shoes and put on house slippers. Shoes in the house? Ya not a thing..... Like at all. You have to be wearing socks in peoples' houses always and there are proper ways to place your shoes on the ground after you take them off at the genkan. #somuchrespect
