Hey mom and dad,

i am going to try and just do one email today and see how it works.

sounds like everyone is doing great. it sounds like the week is going to be busy. have fun!! i remember when i wrote my eagle project write up and it took me forever and it was way stressfull. i amglad marshals went easy.

this week was good. we met an investigator 3 days ina row. his name is isamu. he is 29 and he has been to church before but he never really cared. now he is searching for something and he has found it with us. his date is for the 16 of may. he is looking good. he lived in canada for a year so he speaks english and it is funny to teach him because some times we will switch into english. it is fun.

we also met with 4 breakdancer/hip-hop people. it started out as one 2 weeks ago and then it blew up to 4. they are all way cool. 3 of them are really nice but one kind of has an attitude. they invited us to see them practice but they practice at 10 at night which is way past the time we are supposed to be in the appartment. it is way cool to meet with them. if we are lucky we might be able get them to teach us some cool dance moves. we are meeting them this saturday. maybe i will get some cool videos.

sunday we had 3 investigators come to chruch. isamu came and an old guy named harumoto. harumoto is retired and loves to make things out of wook. him and grandpa hunter would get along great. i have a picture of one of the things he made. i will try to send it. the next one was a guy named korbin. he is from canada. we met him a month ago whenhe first came here looking for a job. we have seen him around a couple of time and have tried to give him some people who want private lessons. he aske us about chruch so we invited him. he is awesome. i am not sure what is going tohappen from here but he said he is coming next week so i am pumped.

life is great. japanese is still a struggle but ihave fun doing it so its all good. i am learning so much about life and my self that i would not have learned so early inlife with ou the mission. i am excited to be in japan at this great time!!

well thats it for this week. if bro. reynolds ever calls agian tell him osu back. that word is slang for 'whats up'. it is a good word but not very polite in japanese society. mostl business men say it and people who think they are the man.

love you and i cant wait till monday.
