Brother K had a vision...
How are your glasses holding up? We don't see you wearing them in pictures anymore and are wondering if you just wear your contacts all the time now??
I just really hate my glasses ... like I always have.
Do you interview with President Budge every p-Day?
Only once every other transfer.
How are your cold weather clothes holding up? Are you using them yet?
There good. I'm using them a little bit,
Have you done any sight seeing? Any place in Japan you really want to visit?
We hit up the equivalent of D.I. today ... it was way sick!!!
Father! Sun up to sun down inside of the church ... that's way rough, I hope that tithing settlement went well though!
Mother! I love the idea on dad's new phone ... if I had one when I get home you could always know where I was all the time!

TeJay!! Those pictures are adorable!!! I especially like the one of Porter ... he just has the best little grin I've ever seen! That cookie looks way good too!!
Storm trooper ... you talked about poop with a bunch of kindergarteners ... didn't you go to school for four years and learn not to do that? I almost fell over in rain this morning reading it.
So this week was interesting. We went to the Christmas concert with K. We sang in the choir. I've caught a little bit of a cold ... and so my voice is kinda shot. But it was fun. He thought that it was good. And then on the way back, we had a super powerful lesson on some park benches, and committed him to pray from the heart about stuff. So then he comes to church on Sunday and we text him Sunday night after he eats with a member in another ward, and we ask him how his prayer went! And he said that he had a vision, but still didn't get an answer! We haven't been able to meet with him to talk about it yet, but he's certain that it has a meaning, and we're dying to hear more about it! It's all about a palace and doors being closed. We haven't heard the whole thing, but from what it sounds like it's the final push that he needs to get ready before the end of the year!! He's so great!!
We also got a call from a guy that we found. Couple transfers ago. He said that the Book of Mormon was hard to understand and that he would like to go to church to help him understand it ... we told him he could probably come ... so he comes and we do a lesson, and he comments about how most of the other Christian Churches don't really touch on Melchizedek that much, which is sad because he was so great, but our church brings him right up in the Book of Mormon! He's coming to church again next week, and we're very hopeful he's going to get baptized before the end of the year as well! He's so prepared!!!
This week I got a little sick, and so I'm way tired all the time ... I didn't sleep, for like three nights in a row ... it was pretty bad, but I busted out my sweatpants and my hoodie, and I'm all good in the hood ... get it ... hoodie ... Heheheh ... anyways! It's just a minor cold, and I'm pretty sure that after I drink some honey cinnamon milk tonight it will all be better. But tomorrow, I'm planning on going to bed early, tonight as well ...
Sorry that the picture took so long to get to you guys! I'm really excited about it and for grandma's quilt though!! Take a picture of it and let me see it!!! I can't believe that she 80! I never would have guessed! I'm going to try to write her a real letter for her birthday, but I've been really terrible at that sort of thing in the past ... but I'm gonna try really hard. Make sure to tell her that I love her and think that she's so great!! I could literally ramble on about grandma for so long, but I can't because I only have a short amount of time today ... hence all the spelling errors s ... sorry!

So spiritual thought for this week.
Today we went to the temple ... me being sick and not sleeping at all recently, I was not that "into" the session you could say. So naturally I felt as though I didn't get as much out of it. It was just a gentle reminder, that we only get out of life, and all that this entails, what we put into it ... if I only put a half awake effort into the temple, I won't get that much more than a very frequently interrupted nap out of the experience; the same can be said of my mission, if I put all I have into this experience then I'm more likely to get a really powerful testimony out of it.! My goal for the last six months is to throw myself completely into my mission! I've been doing pretty good so far, but I want to do more. I'm realizing now how little time I have left, and I really don't want it to be over ... so I'm going to go crazy! All up in here!!!?
I love you all, and am so grateful for all that you do for me!!!
Love, Griffiths Choro!!!
So this week!
