July 3rd, 2012


Thank You for the MTC 4th of July package! I've been saving a lot of it until tomorrow when everyone is going to feast with each other and celebrate the fourth of July.  This week has been pretty cool.  Last Tuesday, we had 10/12 Apostles at a devotional which Elder Perry spoke at.  Only Elders Packer and Hales were not there.  Elder Perry spoke about a bunch of church statistics and on a lot of the different programs the Church offers.  This was for the purpose of us being able to reactivate members and know what the Church does for people after they are converted. 


In less than two weeks, I will be in Japan! We will get our itineraries this Friday, but we will probably be flying through LA-X and not Seatac. There is no way for me to send pictures to you guys yet.  They closed the print shop here and the computers do not have camera or sd card ports, sooo you will probably just have to wait until I can send you stuff from Japan ha.  Yesterday was the last class period for one of our Sensai's.  Shaner Sensai got an internship with Mitt Romney's campaign headquarters in Boston and he is leaving for Boston this week, so yesterday we all said goodbye to him and took pictures and held a small party in his honor.


Not a ton happened this week overall.  My Doryo and I have been working hard teaching our investigators and all of our investigators are really close to baptism.  We are trying really hard to remain focused and to endure to the end with our MTC experience.  I love just chilling with the Nihonjin and talking to them.  I know enough Japanese to understand basically everything that they say, and I can communicate back well enough.  All of them love Ichiro Sazuki and I'll be sure to tell them that my family went and saw him at a game this week.  私は日本人のために愛しています。神様は私たちの天のお父様です。ジョセフスミスは真実預言者でした。ジョセフスミスによて、モルモン書はほにゃくしました。私の家族がほんとにほんとに愛しています。この復員は真実だと証していま巣。イエスキリストが私のs食い主だとしています。Know that I love you and am trying my best to make everyone back home proud.  Most of those Kanji are correct, google translate might be able to translate that mess.


Happy Birthday Mommy and Kyle! I wish I could be there! Have a happy 4th of July and blow tons of しまた up for me!
