Dear amazing Mother!
The big city ROCKS! (He's in Shibuya again!)
1. Yeah it is crazy here. New years is bigger than christmas, and
everyone here just loves it and people will be saying "Oh happy new
year" all of January. It's a party haha but yeah we cleaned cause
it's kind of dangerous to be out and about...so we hang out inside for
a couple of days and it's fun!
have had over the last little bit. He thought you were great, and
it's not that he is super shy, cause just us and in the apartment it's
fine, I just think that over skype and in English was kind of hard for
him. should be great.
great. All of the missionaries are really really cool here, and I'm
sure I'll be hangin out with a lot of them in college when we go home. all the guys here are great. No we all dendo separately.
5. Yeah the city is so much fun! I am always the big American who
yells at really well dressed cool looking japanese guys in english
and just talk to them in English for maybe the first couple minutes
until they are about to get frusturated cause they can't speak with
me, and then switch to japanese for them haha. yeah we are finding new
investigators alll over the place. Really cool to see how God is
helping us find his prepared children.
6. temple will be towards the end of the transfer! yeah kind of crazy
how i haven't been for so long! kinda sad but it will be great to go
again. yeah we can hit a session when you come!! In fact...W_____
will possibly be going through the temple at around that time, and it
would be really cool to go through with him!! I'll talk to him about
it and see what he thinks!
Yeah...we did have some amazing talks some of those late nights after
I got home...I can't remember exactly, but I think that something
really important about teaching people is getting very personal, and making it feel like you aren't really teaching them. I remember lots of times where you or dad taught me how to do something and it was very clear how you wanted me to do it and whatever, but I think what
made those late night teaching moments so great was that we were just
talking together. It didn't feel like I was being taught a lesson or
anything, I felt like I was on even ground with you and that we were just friends it wasn't teacher and student and I think that is what makes the difference between a good teacher and a great teacher.
Obviously there are times where we have to be the teacher. But we can
always get more personal, and show more love while we teach. That is
something that I have learned on my mission, and that I am still
trying to improve everyday! we can teach better in any circumstance.
Things are great. Weird to see you standing next to Sister Snow when
I was just talking to her the other day! I'm sure that was fun to talk to her! Still weird that you are such good friends with that family, my mom makes friends everywhere she goes she's amazing. You would be an incredible missionary. Everything is going good! Thank you for all you do for me! You are amazing! I love you so much!
Have an amazing week and we will talk to you soon!
Love,

The big city ROCKS! (He's in Shibuya again!)
1.) so New Years is Japan's biggest holiday? Do ya'll go out on New Years? You said you clean all day on New Year's Eve. Does everyone party and that's why you stay in?
everyone here just loves it and people will be saying "Oh happy new
year" all of January. It's a party haha but yeah we cleaned cause
it's kind of dangerous to be out and about...so we hang out inside for
a couple of days and it's fun!
2.) your companion was very quite and reserved. He probably thought I was a loud and crazy lunatic. Well, I am frankly. :)2. Yes..he is quiet and reserved. It is a different experience than I
have had over the last little bit. He thought you were great, and
it's not that he is super shy, cause just us and in the apartment it's
fine, I just think that over skype and in English was kind of hard for
him. should be great.
3.) Are any of the other 6 companions in your house from Utah?3. Yeah there are...actually only 2 from Utah, but we all get along
great. All of the missionaries are really really cool here, and I'm
sure I'll be hangin out with a lot of them in college when we go home. all the guys here are great. No we all dendo separately.
4.) do you go home during lunch to eat every day?4. We study until lunch, eat and then we will go out and dendo!
5.) how's the work in the big city? Finding some new investigators?
yells at really well dressed cool looking japanese guys in english
and just talk to them in English for maybe the first couple minutes
until they are about to get frusturated cause they can't speak with
me, and then switch to japanese for them haha. yeah we are finding new
investigators alll over the place. Really cool to see how God is
helping us find his prepared children.
6.) when will ya'll be doing a temple trip? It must be exciting getting closer where you'll be able to go to the temple. I'd love to do a session there when we come.
how i haven't been for so long! kinda sad but it will be great to go
again. yeah we can hit a session when you come!! In fact...W_____
will possibly be going through the temple at around that time, and it
