Hey mom and dad, Thanks for the heads on the bdays. I totally for got about general confrence. In Japan it probably wont be until the week after next so they havent really said anything about it. I am also looking forward to hearing the words of the prophets. Can't wait to see what kind of guidance we get. Good to hear the family and the ward is doing good. you said Ronnie talked. How old is he now? He is priest age right? Well life is good here in Nishiwaki. of course there are hard times but that just makes the good times that much better.(but there really arent any too hard times). I really dont have too much to share this week. This week i am going to Kobe for 3 days for special leadership training. It is still kind of cold here. its way weird. it has been a really cold year. it snowed last week which is totaly not usual. right now it is supposed to be getting way hot. the weather has been strange this year. Well all is well. We dont hear too much about the disaster in Sendai anymore. You do if you ask about it but because we are so far a way that it doesnt really affect us. The chruch had a special fast and a lot of people are donating supplies and stuff but other than that it feels the same. Well I love you guys. Cant wait to hear how good confrence was and what talks I should be looking out for. love elder christian price
