Funny story about the last picture of the door, the Choro tachi got me a birthday card... but apparently the cards at the MTC bookstore were kind of... lame? so they got me an eagle scout award card instead that said "welcome to the eagle's nest!" and wrote something inside. I looked at the cards... they were pretty odd. ^-^

I'm an Aunt?! again!? Congratulations Coynes for the new addition! I was so excited to hear the news. I threw my hands in the air in the middle of the computer lab and went "I HAVE A NEW NEPHEW!" Yep, good day. I want pictures soon. Things are going great here at the MTC, weeks are starting to feel like days though... yet when I look back and realize i've only been here for 3 weeks, it seems like it's going by slower than ever. Time just doesn't make sense here in the MTC. I've accepted it though. The Nihongo is coming along. It's hard sometimes though and in the moment I tend to make up sentences and hope they are right... my teachers usually just smile and nod, like they are saying "atleast you tried, but I got it"

Anyway, I'm glad to hear the family is going well. Thank you everyone for your letters and Emails, they really do make my days sometimes. This morning I woke up at 5 AM to do my laundry because it just gets too crowded during our scheduled time. I finally finished drawing my pictures of all the members of our district. I laminated the pictures and taped them on our classroom door. So now we have some kind of decorations.

 

This week we really focused on the fundementals of Prayer, the Book of Mormon, and Church attendance in receiving revelation. I really am learning so much every single day. Hopefully I can retain most of this knowledge. In our investigator lessons we are teaching mostly about the plan of salvation or how I call it "Plan that saves families" It's very interesting because I am techincally teaching people who have never really thought about Jesus Christ or God. That means I really need to know the simple truths that bring the most power in testifying. Of course, I can teach all I want but it's the spirits power that testifies to those who are ready to hear it and accept it.

 

I wish I remembered what I did on separate days... but the schedules are kind of the same and as I said before it seems like this week is just one whole day :'D

このきょかいわしんじつとしっています、そして、イエスキリストのふくいのしんじつとしっています。いえんおいのちおうけることができます。いましめおまもるからけんこです。私の家族お会いしています、そして、家族わわたしおあいしていますとおもいま。ジョセフスミスわよげんしゃとしんじています。モルモン書わしんじつです。みちびきことができます。
