Isaiah 45:6
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.

Konnichiwa!

Hey! Everything is good here! Whats up! Im in the laundry room at the MTC right now...and I only have 30 minutes on the computer. So I'll go quick! So my 1st week here at the MTC has been so awesome! I've been learning so much about the gospel and especially the gospel language in japanese! Its way fun here! My companion's name is Elder Shaw, and he's Canadian! The other people in my room are Elder Morrison (Austrailia) and Elder Dick from Spanish Fork. They are awesome! Our district is pretty cool too. We have 3 other elders in our district and three sisters. We pretty much spend all our time in class learning Japanese, with the occational gospel lesson. Me and my companion went to the Teaching Evaluation yesterday to practice teaching the first lesson! It went really well, but there is some things we need to work on. We have really good unity and it is so fun just teaching people about the gospel! Our schedules are so tight I can't even believe it! We have something just about every hour of every day. After our lesson we were walking back to our Residence Halls and we ran into 2 Spanish speaking missionaries who wanted to try their testimonies in Spanish for us. Then after they were done I asked Elder Shaw to try his in Japanese and he did really well! It's pretty crazy how fast they are learning Japanese! We've only been here 5 days and we can pray, bear testimony and contact people on the street. But we are going to have to expect 12 more weeks of this, so I guarentee that the are going to be crazy good at Japanese by the time we leave here! So yeah, everything is just going great and everyone seems to be happy! We set goals every day that we try to accomplish and we seem to be doing them pretty well! One of our goals that me and my companion have is that we try to talk Japanese during Breakfast Lunch and Dinner...we pretty much fail everytime cause everyone always talks to me in english and then I mess up and talk English, but its fun trying! But yeah, our district is way tight, and we get along great! The MTC is so cool! It's very spiritual here and everyone was so friendly with advise and all sorts of stuff, but one of the Elders is waiting for me to finish cause I stole the computer from him, so I'm going to end it here! Until next time! Sayonara!

PS If Mum or Dad reads this I want to tell you that I need my record of the MMR shot for the nurses. There was only one shot on the record and they need two! So could you get a date of the shot for me?? Arigatto!

I will try to post some pictures some time! See ya!

Testing

This will not be the first official post, but a test to see if this whole email blogging thing works out. If so, then this will be how I keep my family updated in the coming years when I go to Sendai, Japan!
