08 August 2012::


Sorry for this late email. I was out and about today and went to a place called Ueno. Look it up on Google. It is like a huge shopping mart and you can find super cheap stuff. We went and just looked around. I like going to places like that but not as a missoinary. I cant use any of the stuff that i buy. It is useless as a missionary. I also dont like seeing the pretty girls. it doesnt help. But it was cool seeing some way fun stuff. We went to a all you can eat sushi restraunt. I ate 56 peices of sushi and i am still full. It was fun.
 
I am doing pretty good. I am always tired for some reason. It has been super hard to get our of bed. But i do. It is interesting. Me and my comp are getting along but you can really tell that we are old missionaries. Today we were going to buy groceries and i had enough money but i told him that we might need to go get money from 7/11. Well i was leading and went ot 7/11 but my comp went to the grocery store. When we met up again he was a bit mad becasue i didnt go to the store. I told him that i went to 7/11 to get money but then he told me that i sadi i had enough money. I was leading. He should of followed me. I also thought it would of been better safe than sorry. But oh well. It just goes to show taht we think really differently. I think this is the companionship taht i have learned the least in. I learn alot in every companionship but in this one, not the most. We are both old and konw what we are diong. Sometimes it is a bit frustrating but it will be ovver in 3 weeks. TIme is going by fast.
 
Speaking of time. I think the best day for you to come is 12 of February for me. You would have to arrive in Japan on February 12.  Which would mean you might have to leave america on Febraury 11. You can fiqure it out. I would normally leave on 12 Febraury if you werent coming and arrive in america on 11 febraury. Does that make sense?
 
SO this weekend was suepr cool. We went to a firework show. It was amazing but to me that wasnt the coolest part. There was thousands of people there. THOUSANDS> It looked really cool. WEll i looked at the poeple iwas with. Members of teh Chruch. Maybe 40. Then i looked at the THOUSANDS that were around. My heart really started to hurt. Out of all the THOUSANDS of people there, only the 40 i was with were members of the church and know about Gods miraculous plan for us. That hurt me that all those thousnads had no clue. It really made me sad. I have really come to love the people over here. I really want them to come to accept this gospel. In tokyo there is 42 million poeple. Not that many here have the gospel. It hurt thinking about how about 42 million people could live without God and not want to learn aobut him. It hurt me to think aobut that. I think God gave me a little ltaste of how He fills. It sucked.
 
On sunday our recent convert Tsutomu gave me a g-shock watch. They are nice watches and really popular. He just gave it to me. At the firework show a guy had fallen down and couldnt get to our spot, so i carried. him to it. Everyone thought it was really cool. Tsutomu really liked it because he said he gave me the watch because i did that. It was realy nice of him. I really love Tsutomu alot. He is one of my great friends here in Japan. I love it.
 
I love you so much mom and dad. I am so grateful for all that you do for me. I know sometimes i can be a pain in the butt but i love you guys so much. I cant wait to see you all again. About 6 months. Time is going by so fast. Do you think you could some girls to start writing me? I really want to hear from some of my old friends or from some girls? I think i have only gotten like 4 or 5 letters form them and i want more. If you could do that it would be great. Some of my old freinds names are Carly Webb, Reagan Weight, Aly Weech, Brennan Hocking. Maybe you can look them on facebook and tellthem to write me. Maybe there are some girls in the ward that wnat to write too. That would be great. I love you guys alot. It is super hott here now. All i do is sweat. I like i though. Not much else to say. I hope you are all doing well. Oh mom, i do get pics through the email. So you can keep sending them. You guys have a great week.
