To the fam:

Hello everyone! I hope Conference was great for everyone. I finally got to watch it with all the gaijin senkyoshi here in Hachinohe. We actually saw the Sunday session first because we only had one DVD. :3 but that`s ok! I`m pretty sure General Conference is like an energy drink for missionaries. After we heard all the great talks everyone`s energy just shot through the roof. During conference I think we all learned something for ourselves, families or friends. Whatever we learned or relearned can only become helpful to us if we apply it. Again, Watching general conference and hearing what goes on is just not enough. That makes me kind of kick my old self. I remembered how when I was young I didn`t like watching all the sessions. Let alone one for 2 hours! What was I thinking. What we do in our lives, what choices we make, greatly influence our future. For better or for worse, it still happens. But one thing that gives me the greatest happiness is knowing that because my family centered it`s life around the gospel, and around Jesus Christ, I too understand the blessings, and purposes of Commandments, The truth that Jesus is our Savior, and that I am a child of God. As we feed ourselves more spiritually, exercise faith we become an overall better person, and can resist the horrible temptations of Satan and the world. 

Remember what makes you happy, and what has blessed you. Even though the world is a bit nasty at the moment, our families can be safe and warm. 

Other than Conference this week not a whole lot happened. Of course I was still housing, finding, streeting, riding some trains, and of course Studying. Though what I think changed the most this week was the sun. THE SUN! It rained a TON last week and the wind was about 1000 mph. Hee hee, guess I`ll give you something other than a weather check. I`m learning Shuwa better! Japanese sign language. Can`t wait to come back to America and try to talk to all the ASL people out there. Will probably confuse them. 

Since Yamanaka Kaicho realized I could also draw on Photoshop as well, he got me to design a poster for an upcoming halloween party the church is holding! No pressure. That man loves Talent dendo. I:ll send you a pic of it. Not too great, but I got to draw on a tablet and everything! just like the good old times! then i remembered how hurt my back gets after drawing :U 

Well! wish me luck next week! My Daughter is going to be leading for the whole week, so I suppose i wont need too much luck. She`s honestly a wonderful leader all ready and i have no reason to fret. 

Have a good week! I promise I`ll respond better soon. Time was a bit hard today. 

I love everyone!
