Heard from Jarek yesterday. What a funny kid. I just had to laugh with him and then cried cuz we miss him so much. Just can't imagine him hopping around on one leg.
Week 2 in Japan is down we had a lot of fun this week! We had 2
different yoga classes very very interesting the first yoga class we hit
our bodies for the first 20 or so minutes then it got a little bit
normal with the usual yoga stuff but it still definately wasn't any kind
of yoga class that I've ever done in America. The next yoga class was
laughter yoga and this class oh jeez I don't even know how to explain it
was just so wierd we basically just hopped around and laughed at each
other that was super awkward for me but you just have to make the best
out of that situation.
The weeks fly by in my
opinion the days are sometimes super long and sleep I forgot what it
feels like to sleep in with out a worry or a care. Hahah but anyways it
was a pretty long week we had a lot of time to do housing, not gonna say
that it is my fav. but its fun i guess, you get to meet a lot of
interesting people so that is pretty fun, a lot of people will listen
until you say you are a missionary then they say like oh religion i have
no interest, and then you get the few people who tell you to go home or
something like that. Then there are the really nice people that listen
and after say I'm good. I think my favorite one so far is I'm house
sitting i guess people do that in Japan or it is the poorest excuse I
have ever heard!! haha
Well fun week still wish I
could just speak this tough language! But Anyways love you all and I
will send some pictures next week!

Good to hear AF is doing so well!! I hope I get to be a part of the
baptisms but it seems like people accept and then it has to get
postponed because they don't come to church enough but ya anyways I do
teach english class every week it is pretty scary IDK i hate teaching
small groups of people it is hard for me. I the food I have eaten has be
good execpt one plate of food that had some kind of paste and raw tuna
on top it was awful but I choked it down because I was starving. We
really don't do all that much aside from street house and appointments.
The weather is pretty accurate. There is about a foot that stuck to the
ground but they do a pretty good job clearing the streets and the roads
though. I ridden old bikes but we are on foot now until the end of
winter so ya. I am doing well the language barrier is really tough
though I just wish I were english speaking sometimes it would be so much
easier for me i think sometimes.. Anyways I think that you send stuff
the the mission home then they send it to the missionaries. I love you
guys and sorry mom I will try to remember to put the name on the list I
just copied and pasted last week and forget that I missed the name the
week before.
Love you sooo much wish I had already been out for 23 months
