Konnichiwa minnasan!

Well, sadly, I'm going to have to make this as fast as I can type, cuz it's costing me a buck and a half every fifteen minutes.

So, first of all, our baptism was just great. Shipp shimai and I laughed a lot looking back on it that night because, well you build up these baptisms to just be perfect little moments, and sometimes everything does go exactly like you want, but this was one time where it certainly didn't... lol. But it was fine. Little eight-year-old Yuki-kun didn't have a white button shirt, so he wore a little white T-shirt, and he's so skinny it looked pretty goofy. Then both the kids were way nervous and excited. They sat fighting on the stand. We had two new people at church with us so, we were trying to be with them and be with the kids at the same time and feeling like spinning in circles a little. Then Baby shimai was supposed to give the opening talk but came in just before it all started and when they announced her talk she leaned up to the Bishop and said she wanted to give it afterwards, so they spontaneously changed the program and us missionaries did our musical number that we'd only practiced on Wednesday. It was ok I think.. then we all moved into the Primary room, and us missionaries went with the kids to the back, so we didn't even get to see it, but Yumi went first and she rushed and was baptised, runs out and is freezing cold because their mom only brought one small towel. Then Yuki comes rushing back in and both are shiverring and saying 'samui!! samui!' 'it's cold!' and then Bishop pokes his head back in and says oops, but he messed up on the wording... ! So one by one they went back in, a little reluctantly.. :) Well, in the end Agnes, their mom, cam in with another towel and she got them all dried off and changed afterwards. Baby shimai --the Fillipino ring leader--gave her talk (with Onishi shimai's translating help into Japanese), the kids bore their testimonies, which were both very simple that we'd helped them write out, but the Spirit was really strong and everyone was touched by their simplicity :) And then Josen kyodai gave his talk on the Spirit to end it. All in all it was great :)

Ok so now, the big news, I am transfered!! Again! :) They happen deshou.

Kanagawa! Actually we have two wards to cover as shimai, so it's Kanagawa and Kohoku. It's a little more countryside, so more houses than apartments, but still pretty cityish. And lots of hills! yikes! But it just really feels like Christmas in my apartment, I don't know why, just a good happy feeling there. And my new comp in Sakuma shimai. She's Japanese and doesn't really speak English, but wants to learn more and so far seems way fun and nice. I have the feeling it's going to be a great transfer :)

Love you all so much
Thanks Hannah for writing too :)
Will, good luck on the test!

Aishiteimasu!
