Week 2

What's up!!! I'm doing so awesome here at the MTC! It's been so cool! So last Wednesday I went to the temple and it was amazing! I love the temple! So every Tuesday we go to a session of the temple, and I get to go again in an hour or so...I'm so excited! So Tuesdays are my P-days and we just do laundry and go to the temple pretty much, but then every other day is exactly the same! Every day meshes together here, so I can't ever remember what day I did what! Let's see...well we had one day when Elder Christofferson came for a fireside and talked to us, and his wife did too. It's pretty awesome, on Tueday nights we always have a devotional and then on Sunday nights we have a fireside, and they are so great! We sing like 5 opening songs and it just gets everybody pumped up for the talks! They usually are really good though! Every monday we have a Large group meeting and this week we talked about how the whole purpose of missionary work is to baptize, and there are no excuses. If we don't baptize then why are we even going out to the field. He also chasitzed all and any of us that say that "since we're going to Japan, your not going to get very many baptisums", and he was totally right! The total missionary baptisums for 1999 was 300 thousand for that year, and Gordon B. Hinckly specifically said that we should be doubleing that number, and the way to do it was to know that you can do it. The reason some people think that you can't baptize in certain countries is because of doubt and the father of all lies is the one that puts that in our heads. So no matter where you go, you should be baptizing. There is no such thing as a non-baptizing mission! So for any of you that have been saying that, please cease your abominations!

Any ways...12 minutes left. K, well on every other day of the week we pretty much have class all the time. Actually yesterday the nihonjin got here! That was way exciting! I haven't talked to any of them yet, but our district was the first one to see them arrive, so we got to shake their hands before anyone! Muahaha! But yeah, I hope we get some time to talk to them and what not. But yeah, so I can't really post pictures because the computers here dont have sd card drives, so I'm not going to be able to send any pictures to anyone until I actually get to Japan, or I find an inside source. But my district is the best and we have heaps of fun together! Our teachers are the best! We have a half japanese in my district that we call chisai choro, and there is an Australian that we call Koala choro...they are awesome! then we have Ceadar City choro who is wicked good at basketball! We are also the only district with Sisters, so we by far have the most diverse group out of our zone. One of the sisters is from Tahiti too. So yeah, overall I'm doing great! I love it here! Our district gets along like ridiculously...I dunno how it even happened, but its crazy how well we get along! I'm so loving it here! It's almsot like a eutopian society...almost! haha, besides the fact that we are all humans, its probably pretty close to a eutopian society here!

So to finish off I'd just like to point out that if you want to talk to me, then Dear Elder is the best way to do it. I also need Kaydee Rodgers address, and anyone else that I need to write. If you can get it, I'd also like Natalie's address! Anyway, you can just post them in a comment here on the blog, and I'll be able to read them. Sorry, I've got 4 minutes left and the light is blinking red like crazy so I need to get off like right now! Anyways, yes, Dear Elder, and those addresses. And To parents: Sorry I can't email you today, I've got 2 minutes left. So This message is for you too! K gotta go, Sayonnara!
