"Hey everyone! Wow what acrazy week it's been! Full of frustration and lots of blessings. This week our new Kohii came in. They all seem really nice, I haven't had time to talk to much of them. I've been so busy! But one of the new Kohii, Elder Purcell from Saint George Utah, was born in Japan and had worked there for a couple months before getting his mission call. So he joined the Sempai group, and he became My new companion! That's right I'm a trio now. When I heard of it I wasn't too excited, but he's a great and I've come to find that me and Elder Palmer have been an answer to his prayers. He's really cool, loves music, and we immediately bonded when he knew who Dolores O'Riordan was. The start to a perfect friendship."
"Our District has been struggling A LOT. Our teacher has asked me Elder Palmer to help the other companionships because we're the only ones not struggling anymore. One elder in particular is on the verge of going home! Elder Palmer was appointed the new District Leader and he has replaced Elder Lazenby... Terrible news, really terrible :] Elder Palmer is a great DL and he's always been an awesome missionary. I've learned a lot from him."
"This past week I injured my foot playing soccer at Taikukan (Gym). I extended my leg to kick the ball, on the super wet grass, and slipped. I fell down on my opposite foot, folding it in half as my whole body smushed it. It hurt but it wasn't terrible. I didn't have to go to the doctors for it. I'm glad to hear that Uncle John is doing better, I can't believe they fixed him up ship shape. I hope he'll make a full recovery."
"Thank you thank you THANK YOU Auntie Linda for writing me this week! Expect a handwritten letter soon. My Japanese is really good, especially now that we have Kohii to compare it to, haha. I still remain the youngest missionary here though, incredibly. All my Kohii are older than me!"
"I am accompanying on the piano for this weeks Sunday Session, my first time! I'm a little nervous but I've learned you fail the first time to do better the next, so I could care less whether I fail or not. My classes are great my Kohii are awesome and I only have four more weeks left in this place and then it will be goodbye MTC, hello Japan!! I'm so excited for this work!"
"I can't wait to get out there and really start doing something in sharing this gospel. I've been striving to be a really good examlpe to my Kohii. My sempai were great examples to me, I hope I can amount to them in the eyes of my Kohii. This trio is doing excellent, we are teaching lesson two this week in Japanese!"
