Kurt is Home!!!

It is crazy to think, but Kurt is home from Japan!!!
It is so good to have him home, safe and sound. I am excited to spend more time with him :)
I hope he adjusts back to home life okay. And that he finds as many opportunities to use his gift of Japanese!! What a blessing and what a treat he is :D

We love Kurt!!!!!

OH MY GOSH!!!!! This is my last email to you as a missionary. Isnt that crazy??? I cant believe that in about 3 days you guys will be in my territory expirencing what i have been for the past 2 years!!! You are going to love it so much! Just trust me!! Enjoi the Journey!!!! No need to be nervous!!! Man i cant believe how fast the time has gone. The past 6 weeks have gone by so freaking fast i cnat even remember some of the things that i did. It all just seems like one week to me. It is crazy! Sorry that this email is so late. I have been pretty buzy! I guess this will be a pretty short email too. I mean i will see you in less than 5 days. So i can just tell  everytying that happened.

So i love my companion more than ever but this week he really just didnt show any desire to do anything. It really bugged me. I have been working so hard to help him get the desire and to get some fire but it just hasnt come yet. So i made the descion that HE is going to do everything instead of me. I realized that everything that has happend in the past 6 weeks is becasue i made it happen. That sounds really cocky and selfish but it is true. We went streeting one day and i did an expirement. Without him knowing, i decided to let him stop the poeple to see if he would. We went about 2 hours without stopping one person. So i decided that the area is really depending on me right now which really sucks becaseu i am leavign. So i decided that if the area is really depending on me and i leave, everything will fall and it will be a mess. So i am going to let my companion do everything this week and give him the reigns. He has watched enough. It is his turn to be a missionary in the vineyard. I am really nervous about what will happen here when i leave. I think taht president might white wash the area. We will see. Yesterday i had the best, most prettiest day ever. We met a american like 3 weeks that loves bikie riding. So we decided to go on a HUGE bike ride and see Japan. It was the best. We went to a place called Kamakura. It has tons of Temples and really pretty things. ALex,(our gator) studied buddhism for 15 years so he knows alot aabout the temples and stuff. THen we went to a place called Enoshima. It was so goregeous. It is a place that i will defienatly take you next week. It was so cool. It is a tiny island that has tons of temples and shrines and a gorgeous veiw of Mt. Fuji. It was so pretty. It took all day but it was so worth it. I want to do bike riding alot more when i get home. Yesterday we had a Farewell party for me and it was great except the japanese people put me on the pedistool and taht drove me up the wall. It was super sad. But way fun. Today we went to the temple and then to Ueno. I am doing a lot of searching for places taht i can take you and what not. It is going good. We will have a good schedule when you get here.

SO some questions about the trip. HOw many suitcases are you bringing? Try to bring as many as you can. It will be super nice for suvienors and what not. Make sure to bring warm clothes. It is cold here. Be ready to have fun. I am so excited to see you guys but also very very nervouse. I havent had a solid conversation with dad in about 2 years. I am nervous. I am sure you guys are too. But we are going to PARTY!! Will you guys have internet here? I need to know that so i can communicate with you. Well, i dont know what else to tell you guys.  I love you guys so much. Please email if you have any questions, concerns, mondai's, shitsumons, etc. I love you guys. I love my mission. It has been the happiest 2 years of my life. I love it. i am so grateful that i came on my mission and stayed. I will never forget the things that i did here or the things that i learned. I have one favor to ask you guys. Please tell everybody this one thing for me: Im coming home! Im coming home! Tell the world that im coming home.
