Week #10-- New Area!

Side note from Samantha-- this letter made me cry because I am so proud of my little baby brother who's not such a little baby anymore...

THATS AUSOME!!!!

those are the coolest insults are the best ive ever hered, thank you so much for that.

okokok, ill get down to the important stuff,

my first area is nago okinawa its a pritty little area kind of rural and really humid,okinawas one of the hottest and most humid islands,but im getting used to it. cant whait for the time when the tan comes that everyone aparently gets.

my companion is elder Aai he is japanese but he' fluent in both languages so thats nice, he's tiny,he is 5'4" and only a 100 pounds,i sent a picture so you will see. but he's great

the sinior couple taking care of us and a few other arias, are great, there the nicest people, there allready doing everything they can to help me like getting my a thiker pad no matter how much i say they dont need to worry,a bigger desk chair which i kind of do need and doing every thing they can to get me my bike, thankfully there is a bunch of american bases on okinawa so we my be able to get one that fits me. the food is tasty and im going to a ramen shop after this wich is ausome, first time for athentic ramen, but dont worry we dont eat out much.

speeping on the ground isnt bad the pads are prity soft so im comfotable.

the mosquitose are bad enough for me to already have like 12 bites even though i have only seen one, i dont get it.

the apartment is pretty nice and we stay with another companionship there we are the only ones there a two hour bus ride from the next missionaries, the ward here is tiny like 6 people but the there are a bunch of inactives so we will do our best to fix that. we are not alloud to streat contact women but we can at houses wich is kind of funny. havent had the chance to do a real lesson yet because it was canceled but i will soon most all the area hase been tracted but we will keep over laping it i guess. i whent on splits with the zone leades for tracting on saterday night in okinawa that was fun and we found a posible investigator for the missionary's there so that was really cool the little old bike they had extra for me to use while i was waiting for min broke the second time i tride to ride it, thats prity much all for now but ill leave you with a messege.

despite things around you that scaire you, for me the lenguage, allways push through and do as much as you can you are never asked you do some thing you cannot do that is that is the reason my favorite scripture is 1st nephi 3:7 the lord dosnt give commandments that you cannot compliet he will provid a way for me its both the companion of the holy ghost and a fluent copanion. not to mention you never really know what you capable of untill you try. so push aside fear push aside other concerns the fist priority is the lords work, that is true for me and for you. nevere forget you are not allone.

i love you all and thank you all

matane!
