MARCH 30, 2026 -- Day 84, only 474 days left (WEEK 12)
Guys, right now I'm writing this on Sunday night and let me just tell you how excited I am to go shopping. New pants 
I am filled with so much joy. I haven't gone shopping in almost 4 months 
AND MY MOM IS SENDING ME SO MANY BEAUTIFUL DRESSES (watch for them in a couple transfers LOL) (this is me after shopping, I loved it yay!)
This week definitely was another week I have lived. It was kinda normal tbh? Except on Wednesday, we housed in the pouring rain. My coat is not water proof (shocker). Our shoes and pants were soaked it was so fun. And we had one lady try to give us an umbrella but we said it was okay. She knew a little about Christ but she had only gone to church (I don't know what church) a few times for a free meal. As we were talking, she was like that's a good thought, but that's not true. So we said erm we actually believe what we said. We invited her to church but she said she's not promising she'll come but she'll think about it. You get the jist.
We actually talked to a lot of people this week but still no one is interested. I like to call Anderson 姉妹 and I gardeners 
. We are literally planting so many seeds. And who knows maybe one day the seeds will grow. So mwahahahahahaha

We had our District Council Meeting and it was so fun. We left our Zone to meet up with everyone, then we had pizza after. Japanese cheese does not compare to American cheese #missyouandloveyouamerica
I don't have much to say this week. I love my little area and the members. They are so awesome. We had a potluck and trying so many Japanese foods was fun, lots of eggs. I also miss mayo ughhhh #mybaby 
Oh my gosh, the Area Seventy came to our Ward and he was really nice. He gave a good lesson I think. (I did not understand tbh). After our potluck we did like a Q&A with him and I don't know what questions the little kids where asking but everyone was laughing.

We also had an international something party (I don't remember what it was called) but it was so fun! I met the cutest high schoolers who were 16. They gave a presentation (it was about how tourists leave trash everywhere) then I went and talked to them. #soscary. I love talking to younger Japanese people because they are so funny. Don't get me wrong, the old ones are funny but sometimes it's real awkward. But I asked what their hobbies are and they said watching anime so I pulled out my anime knowledge and was like you watch one piece and they were like omg yes yes yes!!! One said she's seen every episode which is insane because there's so many. I said I've never seen anime and she said please watch. Then we had to go but I asked can we plzzz take a picture so we did! They are so cute!!
I love my bed. It's so warm and comfy. I've been dreaming I'm going to fall off my bike and break my arm. Yeah so that's kinda awkward. But I've been sleeping so good.
Well, mina san I don't know what else to say. I guess I'll end with a fire spiritual message. I love this talk by Elder Uchtdorf Do Your Part with All Your Heart. Here's like a little part of it.
God gives us gifts—of knowledge, of ability, of opportunity—and He wants us to use and amplify them so they can bless us and bless His other children. That doesn’t happen if we put those gifts high on a shelf like a trophy that we admire from time to time. Our gifts magnify and multiply only when we put them to use.
You Are Gifted! “But Elder Uchtdorf,” you might say, “I don’t have any gifts or talents—at least, none that are that valuable.” Perhaps you look at others whose gifts are obvious and impressive and you feel pretty ordinary by comparison. You might suppose that in the premortal existence, on the day of the great gift and talent smorgasbord, your plate seemed woefully sparse—especially compared to the stacked and overflowing plates of others.
He then goes in to say I hope you can see how precious they are to the Lord’s work and how you might have touched, blessed, or even saved one of God’s children by your gifts. Remember: “By small and simple things are great things brought to pass."
Ahhh, I just love that. God gave me the spiritual gifts HE wants ME to have. Sometimes I think we look at others and wish we were like them but that is not the right way to think!!! Heavenly Father literally knows each and everyone of us perfectly. We were divinely appointed before we even came to earth. As you pray and turn outwards God will magnify you and the strengths He has blessed you with. You may be like, Sister Tracy I don't even know my strengths. Well lowkey I don't either. Butttttt He will make them known unto you!! Isn't that like so awesome. We all have a part in God's work, that's why he trusts us to do it. He knows we can do it! There is someone out there who literally needs you exactly as you are. Like what, that's insane.
Yay well, I love you all so so much! I hope you have a great week. You all are in my prayers!! Plz pray and read the Book of Mormon! I know it will change your lifeeeeee. 
If you haven't joined and want to here ya go
(Yay I'm living and learning and trying my best everyday!!)
