Dear Mom and Family,
I am going to be on later today..actually probably later tonight..which is like 3 or 4 in the morning in america..we have an ward, well actually a district because we aren't quite big enough to be a ward..but we have one of those today so we are moving our p day a little later...so i had a little time before my shower to hop on and read all your letters and they were amazing! I have the most amazing family in the world! You all sent the nicest stuff to me and I am so grateful to have such an amazing support system behind me as I am here in Japan. I have to be honest..I have not received the packages yet..However, they did come on Saturday! But..I was inNiigata, for General Conference and did not see the slips until Sunday night. So we called the number and I should be getting them sent to me today or tomorrow! Thank you mom(and the family im sure) and Rachel for sending me packages! I know that it is not easy from America to japan..so seriously thank you:)
My birthday was amazing this week our recent convert Sister M____ threw a party for me and so we did that this last..Wednesday? Yeah and then all these people there, most non-members pitched in and bought me a skinny tie hahaha they know me and my style;) I also got a square tie from Elder S___ my old companion, a cake from the sanjo sisters, an amazing back massage from another Elder, Elder C____, and an amazing day full of the spirit after General Conference. It was amazing this year huh? I could not believe how lucky I was to have General Conference on my birthday!
Thank you all for everything. Seriously I love you all so much and I could feel your love all the way from America. I hope you all enjoyed Conference as much as I did. I think, to be honest, that was the first time in my life I have ever watched every single speaker, and every single hour of conference. It was amazing.
This church is true! I know it, and God knows it and he is allowing me to share it with people. He most definitely could do it by himself..but he allows us to grow from it. I will email a full email later tonight..but i wanted to give you all something before sunday was over for you, letting you know how much i loved you and how great of a birthday i had:) I will talk to you all soon!
With all my love,
Elder Cottle
