FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHY IT IS IN  ALL CAPS, IT IS BECAUSE THE CAPS LOCK TURNED ON, AND NOW WONT TURN OFF....SO SORRY IF IT SEEMS LIKE I AM YELLING AT YOU THIS WHOLE TIME HAHAHHA OH GOSH...HERE WE GO.

I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS!! I dont like this, i will just hold down shift. We  had so much fun in Fujisaki!!! We first got to SKYPE and it was so fun! Our friend, Yamamoto san let us borrow his iPad and we will forever be in debt to him! that was so nice!!!! We are so grateful! It was amazing seeing all of you after 13ish months!!!! 14? who knows, i lose track! we then went into fukuoka city to eat a Brazilian restaraunt, and then wen to the church with some other missionaries and watched FROZEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was so good!! But we had to leave before it was over, so i dont know the ending. talk about a cliff hanger!! for the next 5 months!! hahah but it was super cute, i am happy i got to see part of it! then we came home and ate a really good all you can eat meat place with Yamamoto san and his two friends!! it was fun! he is so nice to us!!! he helps us A LOT! 

But this week has been crazy! SORRY, MY PINKY IS GETTING TIRED...BACK TO CAPS. WE HAVE BEEN GOING ON A LOT OF EXCHANGES LATELY. SO THIS PAST WEEK WE GOT TO GO TO A PLACE CALLED CHIKUSHINO AND YAHATA TO WORK WITH THE SISTERS THERE. WE HAVE SOME AMAZING MISSIONARIES IN THIS MSISION, I ALWAYS LEARN SO MUCH WHENEVER WE TRAVEL! IT IS A LOT OF FUN, WE GET TO RIDE TRAINS ALL OVER TWO ZONES, SEE HOW THE SISTERS ARE DOING, SPEND THE NIGHT WITH THEM, AND GO OUT TRACTING AND TEACHING WITH THEM! IN CHIKUSHINO I WAS WITH THE CUTEST JAPANESE SISTER, SISTER OGAWA WHO IS 4 FOOT 6 INCHES! CAN YOU IMAGINE US WALKING THE STREETS? OH BOY IT WAS FUN! SHE HAS ONLY BEEN OUT FOR 3 WEEKS, AND IS ALREADY BETTER AT JAPANESE THAN I AM! (IMAGAINE THAT! ;) NO BUT SHE IS SUPER COOL, HER OLDER BROTHER USED TO BE MY WARD MISSION LEADER IN FUKUOKA WARD! THEN IN YAHATA I WAS ABLE TO GO OUT WITH SISTER CURTIS FROM ARIZONA! SHE IS SO CUTE, WE HAD A LOT OF FUN, AND SAW A LOT OF MIRACLES! WE LOVED YAHATA, AND WANT TO GO BACK! (MAINLY BECAUSE THE TRAIN RIDE IS OVER AN HOUR AND WE LIKE TO SLEEP...;) BUT IT IS SO MUCH FUN GOING TO DIFFERENT AREAS AND SEEING HOW EVERYBODY WORKS! I AM LEARING SO MUCH! 

Face Timing with Sisters on Christmas!

FOR EIKAIWA THIS WEEK (ENGLISH CONVERSATION CLASS) WE TAUGHT OUR STUDENTS "DECK THE HALLS" IT WAS LIKE REAL-LIFE CHRISTMAS STORY. DONT WORRY, I RECORDED IT SO YOU CAN ALL WATCH IT WHEN I GET HOME!! FA-RA-RA-RA-RA THOSE L'S ARE JUST SO HARD, YOU KNOW? 

BU IT HAS BEEN A GREAT WEEK, WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO NEW YEARS WEEK, ITS A BIG DEAL IN JAPAN. IT CAN MAKE IT HARD FOR TRACTING, BUT LOTS OF FAMILIES ARE TOGETHER, PERFECT TIME TO LEARN OF CHRIST! I LOVE YOU ALL, ENJOY 2014! MAKE LOTS OF GOOD GOALS. REMEMBER TO FLOSS. (THAT'S MY GOAL EVERY YEAR)

XOXO
