We have a brother in the Kagoshima Branch that owns a barbershop. He currently serves in the branch presidency as a counselor. As a service, he provides free haircuts to the young missionaries. For us senior couples, since we can afford it, he only charges 1000 yen, which is like less than $10. He does a good job. We want to pay more but he refuses to accept more, so we decided to pull weeds from the bushes in front of his shop. We really don't have gardening tools so we went to the local 100 yen store (like dollar store in the U.S.), which didn't have the gardening tools we needed but we bought couple screw drivers to dig with. We couldn't find any gardening knee pads either so we used card board boxes. We did this on a Saturday that he posted at the shop that he was going to be closed, but to be safe from being discovered, we went early in the morning and finished weeding in couple hours before his usual opening time of 9:30 a.m.
