Mom Dad! I don't have a lot of time to email but I'll tell you about things that happened for a little.
Also I can upload pictures here so that's how I'm going to get pictures home!
Woah! Camp starts so soon! I forgot! Time is just flying by here. Tonikaku.
So
this week was awesome! Saturday I got back from splits with another
Elder named Elder Stuart (awesome guy!) and we had a great lesson the
day before where the spirit was sooo strong. I could just feel it so
much when he testified. Unfortunately the investigator had to be dropped
because he wouldn't except anything. That was the last time they were
going to visit. It's sad to see that, but anyways. Saturday we got back
and dendoed for an hour and then did service for someone in the
Shinkotoni ward. We tore down their big dog house thing and then taught a
short lesson. Then we went to the ward building for a ward taikai
(event). It was an ongaku fireside! and Davis Choro and I were
performing! We sang Book of Mormon Stories with a blanket over our
shoulders for a costume and acted it out and everything, then we sang
Snowman, then Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, and then Love is Spoken here
and it went great! It was so fun! And then we played a game there where
we couldn't show our teeth and we kept a beat on our laps and we had to
pick a favorite shrimp. We had to tell ours and then anothers in a
funny way and try and get them to laugh and show their teeth and it was
hilarious! Davis Choro and I were the last two standing :P Awwww ya :D
haha. Then we left early because a lady thought we were supposed to meet
with her that night and she called everyone to get ahold of us and she
was so excited that Christ visited the Americas and she is a wonderful
friend that we have high hopes for. Her name is Nishino San and she is
78. So we went over and talked for a bit and then went to church with
her yesterday and she looooved it! We're meeting again wednesday and we
already invited her to receive the blessings of baptism and she is
thinking about it. I'm so excited for the blessings that it will bring
to her. I can see her standing already at the temple doors just excited
as ever to go in :DDDDDDDDDD Anyways, then we biked about 16 miles total
yesterday to get to our appointments and I was so tired, but without
fail we got up and ran in the morning todoay haha. Also right before
personal study at 8 there was a partial solar eclipse! It was so hard to
see because the sun in so bright but I stared at it anyway and it look
like an arch! haha. I coudln't see anything after it :P Also the shading
in the town changed and it was jlust awesome :)
Ya! I'm a monkey! haha.(He was born in the Japanese year of the monkey) No surprise there :P Keep
excercising! It makes you feel so much better! My legs are already
getting larger biking everywhere and running every morning. It's crazy
sauce. Anyways, I'm glad to hear everything is going well! Tell everyone
I love them! Oh wait! The Questions! Here they are:
I sleep on a futon and there is no trouble getting to
bed. After my prayers I lay my head down and I don't move until 6 the
next morning every morning. I sleep so good! Like a rock! A very big
rock :P Also we've been getting up 30 minutes earlier so we have more
time in the mornings so I've been up at 6 all this week. It's so nice
and it doesn't make too much of a difference. I'm never tired because we
go running every morning. It's great :)
I am sending pictures through this! Tanoshinde Kudasai! (please enjoy! :P)
I
think the thing that I miss most about home is Captain crunch. They
only have flakes here :P They're good, but nothing beats good old peanut
butter crunch :) yumm.
