Hello! Thanks for all the pictures and wonderful emails this week! I will try to make my emails more interesting. Maybe I'll spice them up with funny lines or something!? I can't believe Michelle Coleman is married. That is nuts. Lenzi is huge! I feel dumb asking this but is it a girl or a boy? I forgot. Mom, thanks for all the hard work you are doing to help me out with college stuff. I really appreciate it. I don't know the moms email addresses but can I do that stuff when I get home? Ya, Mike Slater came with me to Japan and David Drake was in this mission and he went home about 6 months ago. They are all way cool. This week was wild! I didn't...............................................................................................................get transfered! Elder Low got transfered and he is in Osaka now. My new companion is Elder Nunes from Orem. He is on his last transfer and we are having a riot! He is way cool and is almost fluent in Japanese. I learn a lot everyday. It was sad to see Low go but things happen for a reason. One crazy sad thing that happened this week was a missionary ran away. He was supposed to be Low's new companion but he ran away the day of the transfer call. No one knew where he was and it was really scary. He is a 26 year old Japanese elder that I was pretty good friends with. He finally showed up yesterday at his home in the Fukuoka mission after about 4 days of being missing. Some people struggle with things and it really made me think about my life. I love the gospel and I feel for him, and have remorse but this work is way important and he made a wrong decision. I love him and I know that everything unfair becomes fair through the atonement of Christ. I love you guys and repentance is real. The gospel is an unchanging thing and I love it. This was short but I gotta go. Bye Bye
