Hey mom and dad,

Good to hear all is well.  I am happy that mom has now a new bathroom and kitchen.  There will be alot of changes when I get back.  The weather is cooling off here too.  It has actually rained alot this week.  It makes working interesting.

We do eat cereal some times, not american stuff though, it is the japanese stuff.  Not as good but not bad. I dont eat it alot because it can get expensive.  I normaly eat rice or bread. sometimes oatmeal if the appartment has some.

Well this week was a good one.  But what really happened that was cool happened today.  Today we went to the point of Kouchi Ken. it is 104 miles round trip.  The reason behind it was to visit a less active and it would be cool to go.  Going there was good until the end.  Me and my comp were beat. i mean really beat.  And what made it worse was that it started to rain.  So we go to the point and couldn't do much.  I didnt even take a picture of the ocean from the point.  Bummer but I took some others.  Then we ate lunch and then decided to get going to visit the less active.  Me and my comp were kind of sceptical wether or not we could make it back in time to email.  We were so tired from getting there that the return journey looked dim. but we said a prayer and we were off.  We decided to bike in the rain without our rain gear and it actually helped us bike better.  We went to the less actives house and she was amazed that we had come even though it was raining.  They had a little food prepared so we ate it and talked for a little bit.  When it was time to go she asked if we would make it back in time.  I said ya why not.  We should be able to make it back in 2 .5 hours or so. (we were about half way at this point.) we had 40km to go.  She didn't think we could do it.  That is really far and we had just biked there and half way back.  This is not flat either there are hills too.  So we started off and we kept going in the rain and we made it back in almost exactly 2 hours.  The time it took us to get there was about 4.5 hours to 5 hours. and the time that it took us to get back was 4.5 hours.  We made it back faster!  That is a crazy miracle.

The whole time I was riding my bike I couldnt help but htink about all the help that the Lord was giving too us.  I also thought about the prayer we said and the word of wisdom.  I have never really had an experience with the word of wisdom beside me having pretty good health up until now.  I know that the promise at the end of d and c 89 is true.  I experience it today.  Now I really dont hurt.  While I was biking there my body was really sore.  I felt like I couldnt make it back.  But on the way back I felt like my energy would not and could not run out.  I felt better than before.  I still feel way good.  my sun burns hurt but right now I feel like I could do it all over agian.  Maybe tomorrow I will feel it but now I am on top of the world.

I know the lord will fulfill all of his promises.  This chruch is true I know it without a doubt.

Love you guys cant wait to see you in a little bit.  You are the best.

love
