Aww poor Lucky!(dog had 7 teeth pulled) Tell him hello for me! And tell Dinah(cat) hello too! :P
Wow,
a lot of change happening down there I guess. Is there sand and a palm
tree in the bathroom yet? One interesting thing about Japan that I like
is their tubs. I fit in them! The doors are all too short, but the tubs
are great! ;)
I will start off with some great news. My suits have
been getting a little worn out because of all the wear and tear (of
course nothing is visible because it`s below 10 layers of winter gear
:P) and my companion only has one suit, so we went suit shopping for him
last week. I had no intention of buying anything because nothing in
Japan fits me :P But, I ended up buying a suit while I was there. They
had one my size and I just had to get it! It was only $539.00!...a
little expensive. But apparently when they make suits that are too big,
nobody buys them, so they bumped the price down. I bought it for about
$30 dollars! haha. So I have a brand new $500.00 suit that I bought for
$30 dollars :) They also have one more that I`m thinking about buying
next week. It`s also $30 dollars. My problem isn`t the suit jacket, its
the pants. My black suit pants got sun stained or something and turned a
reddish color that doesn`t seem to wash out and my missionary mall
pants are slowly getting torn up. So I bought the one suit, but do you
think I should buy the other suit as well? If you think it`s a good idea
please let me know in the next email! If you don`t say anything I
probably won`t buy it. But anyways, that was very pleasing to me :)
I`m also emailing at night today because we had an
appointment earlier today with an investigator that has a baptismal
date, but doesn`t quite understand what he`s hearing. It`s little tough,
but we`re doing our best to help him feel the Spirit and understand the
gospel.
We just got done with dendo though, and we made a really great
strong appointment with a nice young divorced mother for this week. She
and her mother were both very kind to us and seemed like they wanted to
here more. She also gave us mochi! (rice cakes which helped warmed our
freezing hands haha).
Today was warmer than usual actually. It was only -10 degrees
celcius about. Usually it`s down at -20 and I hear pretty soon it will
get all the way down to -30. It`s almost impossible to dendo outside in
that weather. It`s crazy! But the Lord still blesses us as we strive to
find the people he`s been preparing. I love being a missionary here in
Japan :) and lately I really felt like I understand the language. The
Gift of Tongues really is in existence Ne!
Thanks for being such a great example to me dad.
Always working to do what the Lord has called you to do. It really is a
help to me here as I try my best to do what I feel the Lord wants me to
do.
Tell Tyson and everyone hello for me! Tell them that the mission is
amazing and I`m loving it! If they have any advice for me I`d love to
here it as well :)
Alright, well that`s about all for now! Talk to you again next week!
P.S. I feel like I`m getting taller...I`m not sure
if that`s because everyone in Japan is so short or if I actually am
getting taller, but that`s what it feels like haha. I`m trying to break 2
meters (I`m 2 centimeters off (198)). I guess we`ll have to measure me
when I get back!
Love you! Bye Bye!!!
