I've been working harder then I ever have on anything ever ever ever before hahaha. I wake up, study, breakfast, personal study, companion study, language study, addition study, lunch, classroom study, teach an investigator in nihongo (Japanese), study for like the next 3 hours, then dinner, then study, then Home, then study, and write in my journal, then we pray in Nihongo. I can pray, testify, introduce, carry basic conversations, share scriptures, read scriputres, ask questions, ask if someone will be baptized.... etc. I love it here so much! My companion is Hawkins Choro, he is from Reading UK and is very British. I am actually loosing my Amercian accent to a British/ Japanese one. Also in our district is Choro (Elder).... Nelson, Franks, Stacey, Gatherum, and Hawkins and myself. The for the shimai (sisters), Price from UK as well, leppanen from Finland, and then Lowry and Gillepsie.
Since we are the Kohai in the zone (the greenies) all of the senpai (older people) come to our room and RAID our room and try to trade ties with us. They are the tie dealers. They're aren't supposed to trade ties so its like a black market haha. They are super cool but it is so hard to concentrate when they are in there for like 20 minutes bartering their worst ties for our best ones. Nelson choro is the only one who has ever traded anything with them. Sorry for the bad spelling I just don't have a tone of time to worry about it hahaha. You get the jist. But our district leader is Franks Choro, he is super cool. I love everybody in my district, I have come to be super super good friends with them all. We just got done teaching our investigator Yoshida Taizou, it's all in Nihongo. From the very first day, we speak Japanese like 100%. We didn't understand anything at all for about 3 days. But i am starting to get it a lot. Its so fun! I love you guys so much!
