Hey mom and dad!!! こんいちはははとちち！！
How are you all??
Yes I used my card at sonic. But it’s not like I get to go there often, just because the employees forgot about us in the middle of Provo. (He woke up with pink eye so they sent him to a Dr. outside of the MTC. He had a sinus and ear infection and pink eye! He’s a mess! Then they forgot to pick them up.) But seriously, that was so fun to finally be in the real world. Even if it was just for a couple of hours.
It is sooo weird to see people come and go within the time that we have been here! Like that sister. (we have a sister in our ward that entered the same day as Haydon) It totally doesn’t seem fair. I hosted yesterday a kid from Washington and a kid from Hungary, going to Italy, and he speaks all three languages. So he is only here for 12 days. A different kid was talking to Hawkins Choro and I and was talking about how he was here for 12 days and it was really jam packed full of stuff. Then he proceeded to tell us how because we were here for 9 weeks, they spread out the things that we learned, like language and gospel..... We were like ARE YOU KIDDIN US??? We had to teach on our second day in a language we had never before spoke.
By the way kohai means like those younger than you. So the group above me are the senpai and the group above them are my daisenpai (Big leaders) We’re STILL the kohai because we didn’t get any when we were supposed to. There were like 660 people who reported the same day as me. We had a couple hundred missionaries going to Japan. There are 3 Japanese branches and mine had like 86 people in it. A couple weeks ago the daisenpai left and there were 47 of them!!! Ya and every week we have to write a talk in Japanese, because every Sunday they just call up random people to speak!!! It’s awesome though. Lately I have been not really using any notes in lessons, so I really really get good practice at just SPEAKING Japanese. Also every Monday night we have TRC which is where we just teach members in Japanese. Sometimes we get natives and they are super fun. They are so stereotypical nihonjin (japanese people) because they always say like öooooooooohhhhh!! aaahhh!! OH ahhaAHAH! hahaha they are awesome.
We also just got a new teacher along with Wilson Kyodai and Johsnon Kyodai. His name is Budge Kyodai. He teaches along with Johnson Kyodai and it is really really fun because they kind of act like a companionship. They teach us everything from Japanese to teaching to gospel. They have conversations together and I can totally understand like 80% of what they say or more. I LOVE IT!
SOOO just so you kind of have an idea of how my mind has to think in Japanese. I will write in English but in Japanese grammar!! It will blow your mind.
