hey dad,

i really rode the jeep hard. sorry. i always thought it was a new car. i can see why marshal wants the jeep. its way cool. dont change the clutch too much. i actually really liked it. it made it so i couldnt `ride the clutch` because you know exactly when it is engaged and when it is not. thats just my preference. how are you going to work on it this time? are you going to put the jeep in the garage?i loved your analogy about the chruch. i may use that in my lessons. examples are always a good way to teach principles especially if they dont know anything about this chruch or christianity for that matter.

i do try and learn thought the spirit but in the scriptures it says that you will know it in your mind and in your heart. my take on that is that you have to think about it first and then the spirit will say `yes your thinking is right` or `nope thats not it try again`. ofcourse i probably think about it too much some times but i am only human. but the spirit definitely needs to be there.
about the nextfil move thing. could you stream it from the computer to the xbox? just a thought.

me and slater are doing awesome. because we know eachother we are more comfortable with eachother and we have alot of fun doing missionary work. i am going to lear alot form him. its going to be great. the new area isgreat. we do alot of streeting. this new area is more city. yamato koriyam was more country side. we are actually using the ukelele i bought to do missionary work. it helps us make really comfortable contacts and it helps people see that we arent so different from them afterall.b ya we get around pretty easy. if we cant find a place we just ask people. they love tohelp us and they are supprised that we speak japanese. they ward is really big. about 100 members. their chruch is huge! of course not as big as ones in america but for japan it is pretty big. no one sees me as japanese. ihave to tell them or when they see grandmas pictures they ask. story time.

while streeting we contacted some kids and they were going to see the sakura. one of them was really nice and invited us along. it was way strange. most people dont just invite us places but we said `ok` becuase there were alot of kids going and it could be a good missionary opportunity. this experience was way cool. it was japanese culture that i probably would have never seen if we had not talked to this kid. it was way fun and i got a picture with all of the kids that were there. the really nice kid exchange phone numbers this us and we are planning to meet him later. the little adventure turned out to be a success.

i love it here and i am excited to become an even better missionary while working with slater.

love
