Church Institute ;)

It was finally nice to leave the lab before the sun went down for the first time this week. I went to Sakae- the downtown of Nagoya City, to meet with Yuwasa-san who was a fellow missionary in the Japan Tokyo North mission. We then took the subway to Nagoya station where the church institute building is located. The Nagoya station is huge!!! Because Toyota moved its offices from Tokyo to Nagoya the rent for office space near the station is super expensive. Today was the first time I saw the city side of Nagoya. There are lots of lights and tall buildings. Not as crazy as Tokyo but a bigger city than the suburbs by Nagoya University. Well the institute building, or institute floor as it should be called, is the second floor above a fish shop in a four story building.

Institute class wasn’t stinky it was actually really fun. The institute class was “marriage prep.” It was great!!! I thought I should take it because someday I hope to be married! There were about 30 other young members of the church there and it was really fun. It was really good to feel the same peaceful feelings that I feel on Sunday at church.

On the way home I bought some things at the store that are needed for the apartment like plates and bowls and utensils. After 1 and ½ weeks of living here I finally got them. I also bought some apples. They looked pretty normal so I didn’t take a picture but they were good and expensive.
