Now I'm working with an iPad

This week was an awesome week. The start was really slow but by the end of the week we really picked up progress again. We had quite a few good lessons, and a few that got moved to this week. We also have a lot of follow up lessons for this week. So last week I didn't answer the question how we used technology in the mission. That is because this week we had a very big event, we received iPads. I knew before the mission that my mission was a pilot mission and we would have a couple of special things. I never imagined every missionary owning an iPad though. The iPads are really useful there is an app that looks after all of our investigators, area book, and stats. It's also going to be used a lot for communication. We can't use it now but within the next couple of weeks we should also have the ability to use Facebook. I think the best thing though is that it's really made our bags a lot lighter. All of our missionary resources have been but onto the iPads. Also we have a lot of the church media so we can show people on the street really good things the church has put out.

This coming week is the last week of the transfer. So this Saturday I might get the call that I'm moving to a new area. I hope that is not the case. These last few weeks we have met a lot of really good people and I really want the opportunity to teach them. If I do get put into a new area I'm sure I will like it but I think it might feel a little weird.

I hope everyone has a fantastic week,

Love Elder Davies

Had to do this in a separate message sorry. 

1. How would you compare the clothing styles of people your age to what you’re used to seeing in the US?

 Honestly can't say. School is in right now so most guys are in uniform. College guys dress about the same I think. And I don't talk to many girls but it semis high heels are in. 

2. It’s winter when people tend to dress in darker clothing, is that the case there?

 Yea I think so. I think for the most part winter clothes are thicker. There's a lot of brown/tan clothing right now. 

3. Do you see anything unique or unusual?

 Well it's japan so yea. But I can't really explain it. Other than weird. 

4. Have you noticed how the prices compare to the US (I know you’re not doing a lot of clothes shopping, but just in case…)

 No idea. I would think the same though. 

5. Have you seen anything that you’d like to wear?

Yea there are these really nice jackets I like with more kinda toggles instead of buttons.
