The Church is True No Matter Where We Live and I Love It!

Hey guys! Yes I have email! But I just found it so I dont have much time. Sorry. I got the conference talks and they are great. Thanks Mom and lenzi. From Kobe it took almost 5 hours to get to Niihama. I got my camera-- an Olympus 12 megapixel and it only cost $75. The pool looked pretty wild! Good luck. I'll be quick, but to put it simply-- Niihama is sweet. The people are way nice and it is a little more city than Maizuru, but not much. The branch has about 20 active members and the church building is pretty funny. These week was awesome! A lot of new investigators were found and the Ise family is getting ready for baptism. The Ise family has 3 kids and one is baptized but the rest aren't. They have been coming to church every week for the last 6 months and we set a baptismal date with them for August 8th. The mom said that she felt good at church and she wanted to feel that more. The Holy Ghost is a great gift that I know that I take for granted. Anyway the branch is awesome and I definately feel something special here. My companion is elder Kudo from Tokyo. He is cool and more outgoing than my other Japanese comps. I am excited for Niihama. The church is true no matter where we live and I love it. I am sorry this was short but next week I promise I'll have more time. I love you guys and till next week.! Oh and if you could get me Dana Cooper's address that would be sweet
