Hi everyone! I feel like I have not written a very sufficient email in a while. Oops, sorry about that.
Last Pday we went to the Zoo with our district and it was so fun!! despite the AWFUL STRAIGHT UPHILL BIKE RIDE, it was a very good time. I will say, it is pretty sad to see the animals all locked up in like tiny cages, but i guess they don't know any different... so its okay? 
I had exchanges this week, so I was able to work with 2 other missionaries for 2 days. The first day was me and Sister Hinckley and we were able to talk to this guy from Texas who seems interested. The miracle with him was that he told us that usually every night he is drunk, but that night he was not!! #Godisreal. 
The second day I was with Sister Jung and who is on her last transfer which actually breaks my heart. We talked a lot and she gave me a bunch of good advice. The miracle I saw with her was the Donuts we ate for dinner. It is a miracle that I got the donut I wanted and it was the last one!!
We had another sushi party which was fun. Slowly but surely I am becoming a sushi master. Kinda ironic that I don't really like sushi all that much. Our friend told us he was teaching us, so when we go home we can teach our country. Haha. I will gladly teach my country how to make authentic Japanese style sushi!!
During exchanges, my companion and Sister Hinckley found a man from the Philippines who has lots of questions! I was able to meet him yesterday and talk with him. He had told us that a week before his door had been knocked, he prayed to God to help him find the true religion. It was so cool to see him recognize we were sent from God! Yay miracle. We will continue to teach him and I will keep you all updated! His name is Mel! Please pray for Mel!
Japan Tips- I was really shocked abt how different the rice is. It is so much more sticky. That is why it is so easy to eat with chopsticks!
- The potatoes are so tiny. I guess I am used to Idaho potatoes, but I really did not know the rest of the world was living like this. I feel sorry for them.
- Driving on the highway costs money!!
*Jibun no yushu saga kowai means I am afraid of my own excellence. May have spelt it wrong. The members think it is really funny when I say it to them!
woopGod is just proud of you where you are. He is proud that you have made it this far. He is proud that you wake up every morning, even if you are negative about it. He knows you, He knows exaclty where your mental state is. He is proud that you were able to find something to smile at. Heavenly Father is proud of you. The big things are important to Him, but so are the small things. The little things you do each day to make it through. Since Heavenly Father is always proud of you, that gives you permission to be proud of yourself!
Heavenly Father loves you infinitely, always, so big that you don't even know. You got this!
I love you too of courseee!!
