Three-minute e-mail

Lol. I love reading all your letters, but now we are trying to get to the temple and make the 10:00 session. It's right next door but they want us to be way early so I'm going to try and type fast.

Brooke--why are you going to Europe and not coming to pick me up here?? :) Where will you go? And just with Kyla?? Just the two of you in big scary Europe? I hope not! Hah, and does Will come to watch your soccer games with all those cute girls there? ;)

Mom, we don't call on P-day it's separate, usually it's during our study time. I guess it works best if it was about the same time as for Christmas, in your evening, my morning of the next day, so I'll probably call from Mon over here to your Sun eve.

Dad--we could just stay in Tokyo the whole time... but it is the more expensive place, and train fare adds up fast too, hmm. Let me think a little more. When we go out to Kofu/Fuji we could probably leave our stuff at a member's house.. threre were some members that love to hike it so maybe I'll send word to them and see if they want to do that with us. Or else we could possibly leave it at the church building.. :) You should talk to Perkins shimai (my trainer) too... to see what they did when they came. I don't know her e-mail but I'll try to send her a letter with yours. The big question too is where do we want to do Sunday.. the big thing here is which ward you'll go to with your parents.. :) I'm still thinking.. maybe it'd be good to do Kofu anyway. I still love that place but I'm not sure if they remember me since it was a year ago now! I'll give it some thought today and let you know.. And yeah, BYUH does start Sept 15th. I still need to apply to the Hale 1 dorms which is only for Juniors and Seniors so you have to apply specially.

Sigh.. this week has been good! The picture was from Sister Sontagg, who is friends with my friend Will Pryor from our freshmen year at the BYUH. Her son is his roomate now and he stayed at their house when he came here for Thanksgiving break. So anyway, we finally made that connection and she took a picture to send one to you and one to him :) She was just like "ok, but your mom's address in here!" :)

Soo, other news, we have a new investigator! Actually it's a pretty cool story because we're pretty sure the Lord had a big hand in it :) We got a message from some Shimai in the ward, and thought it was Oka shimai so we called her, but actually she didn't even call us. But then she was like, oh but wait, actually I have a friend I want to introduce to you. She's going to come to conference! Well, it ends up she had been debating whether to refer that friend to the missionaries or not, and just then we'd called! It ends up Omi shimai had been the one that really called us and they sound kinda alike, but not really!

So anyway, her friend came to conference, we met her then too but didn't set up an appointment but Oka shimai then talked more with her friend and invited her to hear our lessons and she agreed so we just met yesterday for the first lesson and she is great and seems to love what she's learning. She's still pretty nervous about it all, but seems really open and at least willing to read--and really understands! So, oh her name is Igarashi san. Keep her in your prayers, we have good hopes for her!

Other than that, yeah, we just feel busy and happy! :)

Brooke, I'm still sad I can't be there for your first date, but take lots of pics ok? :)

Thanks so much. Gotta run, but talk to you next week!!

Lots of love!
