Hello hello everyone!

 

Well, I'm really pressed for time today 'cause of all the emails I got on my birthday, haha.  I got 25 total from just about everyone!  So I'm kinda busy writing back today.  Also, I'm not getting back to a lot of them right away , so moshiwakegozaimasen to those who I'm not writing back to 'till next week. 

 

Man, my birthday was great.  We had absolutely nothing planned that day besides eikaiwa (English class) at 7.  So I decided to take the time from 12 to 7 and just work the area over.  Talk to everyone.  Tell everyone that it is my birthday!!!  And from that, we found 1 new investigator and 5 new PI's.  Picked up a lot of numbas on my birthday.  It was way fun.  My comp had a star bucks gift card so we went and got hot chocolate.  I haven't had the time to go buy anything yet, so maybe soon I'll go to the mall or something and do present shopping.  We talked to a gazillion old people and they just told me how they wish they could be 20 again, haha.  And then at eikaiwa, everyone sang happy birthday to me.  However, at night, I got a few calls from some investigators back from the Kohoku (first area) days wishing me happy birthday which was way fun.  It was way nice talking to them now that I speak Japanese, haha.  They were way surprised, haha. 

 

Our Holland investigator is progressing really well.  We just need to solidify his desire and get some real intent in him, then he should be looking good for baptism.  We have a lot of investigators, but we are having a hard time meeting with them and setting up lessons.  Every one is being a bimster and being busy during the week and we can only teach so many lessons on the weekends.  Plus this last week was stake conference and it was too far away for anyone to go, so it was a hard weekend for scheduling for us.  But we are doing really well in the lessons that we teach and people are progressing closer and closer to baptism each week. 

 

I have to go now, but in like two weeks we are gonna skype together so get ready for that!!!!!

 

I love you all and hope everything goes smoothly this week!

Congrats Kyle on making it into the play!!  Good luck with AP English!  Connor as well, ganbatene!!!!
