Week #34

Excerpt from Dad's letter this week that explains Connor's comments:
[OK the blond joke of the week
WANTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER (actual AP headline) Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her inlaws. While there, she went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open, and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she'd been shot in the back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour. The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid. And yes, Linda is a blonde.]

where is the world going to when people are like that, i mean all are the children of our heavenly father, but isn't part of this life's purpose to learn, especially common sense,
ya i don't really have any thing to be unhappy bout at the moment accept that i didn't eat breakfast this morning, but that was my fault, the elders i live with now are great, we have good laughs every day, and the work is coming along thus far, plus i really loved pres. ukdorfs talk about being happy and grateful in your circumstances and despite your circumstances, its just so much more fun to be happy than sad so why look at the bad when there is still so much good, the world may be going to crap but the church is growing every day, more people receive the wonderful message of Jesus Christ's true gospel every day, as missionaries we are told to be in the world but not of it, i feel like i understand that so much more now, there may be bad stuff going on every day, but there are also good things, its our choice to either press forward look for the good things and see them, or stand still and let the world envelope us.

  for example the Japanese language, sure I'm not as proficient as id like to be, but I'm way better than i ever could have been in such a short time on my own, and i know from experience and as a witness that if i just study some every day than i will continue to progress, its up to me to progress or regress, I've experienced both and i think i know which is more fun and satisfying.

  to kind of answer  your question about the weather, its the rainy season, nuff said, but i guess its a good thing that i like rain, 

our investigator furugen shimai is continuing to progress towards baptism, she really is awesome. 

the transfer is almost up, i feel like i just got here, this was the fastest one yet, and I've herd that it just gets faster, there 2 years really go by really fast.

if any body has any ideas to be more effective, to magnify my calling, i am open to here.

love you guys always 
stay strong stay faithful stay diligent, just keep swimming.
