Hey everyone. Sorry about last week. The email I just sent was the email I wrote last week. I was at a free computer but it couldn't handle emailing it. Bummer. Today I am at a nice Internet cafe. Well thank you so much for getting Kody`s address for me. I'll write him today. Sounds like he had a really good experience with the missionaries. How is Niihama? Well Niihama is sweet! I love it and I can't even tell you how blessed I feel to be here. The Ise family is doing well and a new guy named Kinoshita is getting ready for baptism too. These last two weeks have been insane! There are tons of people to teach and I am loving it. A ton of miracles have happened and I am really thankful for the spirit. Do you remember Moriya? He was the guy in Osaka that I taught that had a lot of baptismal dates. His daughters were baptized. Well his family lives 2 minutes from my apartment. His daughters aren't coming to church but I met the mom yesterday and I really feel that I was sent here for a reason. I'll tell you about a quick thing that happened yesterday. Me and Kudo went to a girl named Anris' house to teach her. Her dad was there and I could tell that their relationship wasn't normal. Her dad didn't like us very much but we taught her the restored gospel none the less. She is the same age as me and really sincere. When I looked her in the eyes and testified that her life could become better through the gospel the spirit was really strong. It seemed like she understood and she wanted to change her life but she still didn't accept to meet again. I know this kinda sounds like a sad story but as I was riding my bike home I felt prompted to pray for her. When I prayed I felt that everything would be all right and she would have a good life somehow. I know that unseen things happen everyday and God really loves ALL his children. Niihama is awesome and the mission is awesome. I'll send you some pictures next week. Sorry. I have been bad about that lately. Well I love you all and I'll talk to you next week!
