I finally got some language study system going again so I'm happy with that, and things are going good here, sorry its not so long.

Mom,

We're actually doing thanksgiving today as a zone, basically a big lunch, that should be fun.

If I was to ask for some things for Christmas it would be, fluffy warm socks new garments of the next size down, and maybe a new rain suit they're expensive here, and my usual Turkey meat stick we always get. Other than that, I'm doing great.

It's crazy to see all or should I say, hear about all the young guys I knew going on their missions there will be a lot that changed when I get back.

I did get the suit, and I'll send some!

love ya

Week #58

I’ve been asking people and comps here and there about information, on schools, I know that BYU Utah has a way good program but that is super competitive and a little cut throat I don’t know much about BYU-I though, the two other that looked like they had potential were the U of U, and one in Washington called DigiPen that’s a business college for the production and entertainment arts, all looked like the same price range, DigiPen was more directed towards hands on stuff I think though, that’s where my comp wants to go.

I’ll send pics of the suit next week, I’m picking it up today.

As far as things in my area, we are working with a few different people, mainly a Japanese lady, Chinese lady and a Philippino lady,  I’m definitely getting to use more english which is funny because that’s usually what you would expect from, Okinawa really, not Hiroshima as much, it’s getting colder every day here, heading towards a good Hiroshima winter, and I’m betting I’m going to finish off in Okinawa in the summer, just to complete the pattern of weather extremes in all my areas, but we’ll see.

I’ve had a little drawing opportunity lately, and more in the concept art side of things too, thankfully, my comp had a way good book idea and he is actually a very good writer and he wants to also pursue entertainment arts, so I’m drawing concepts for his story based on his descriptions, I’ll send pics.

Japanese is also going along good as ever, not really any noticeable difficulties that won’t be fixed with time and continued effort, it’s cool to say that I’m technically bilingual, but I’ll keep up the best efforts to never stop improving.

ja, hawaii ni yoku tanoshinde kudasai,

shinkoteki ni, kinben ni, tsuyoku tsuzukenasai, J.K.S.

love you all, I keep it up till the end, which is still like 10 months off but my comp dies this transfer so it just makes me think ahead, but either way, ganbarimasu.

Week #57

A question or two for you, Dad,

First, as off topic as it may sound I’m trying to be responsible and get it done quickly, plans for after the mission it’s still a-ways-away but I just want everyone to be on the same page of course before I go into anything big. 

As far as majors, general schooling is a good start, I’d love to go into the concept are field now but that can change fast I’m sure so, that’s a good place to start! I’m not too good at planing this or knowing what is the right way but, I figure I’ll try to work before that or during it to help pay for that stuff. I would like to know what you think about it.

And for a here and now topic, we found a store here that might have my size in a suit, they ordered it to check but it’s around the same price as that ones we got at the missionary store but without the shipping price! Nothing for sure right now but I’ll tell you if it works out, it looked like it was around $280 on the price tag but tell me what you think.

Love you and sorry about this stuff all of the sudden it’s just been on my mind a little and it would stay there if I didn’t say something and only the black suit jacket is wearable right now, so I wear it with my slacks and if I keep losing wight than its going to be too big pretty quickly. 

Anyway I love you dad, I don’t know how I would survive without your help out here!!

sorry for the trouble,

Connor

PS. So we went to the suit place and they have a suit that will fit well, the winter is a bit expensive at $380, but they’re ordering a summer style which is only $240, and with it only going to be cold for a while longer, and me having a coat, I’m thinking that would be the better choice. Again tell me what you think and I can get it on p-day or whenever, thanks!
