At least we aren't in NagoyaCatch phrase of the summer^^
On Monday the neighborhood old ladies dressed me and Wentz ε§ε¦Ή up in kimonos and took pictures of us! It was soooo fun! I got to wear my own kimono that I bought a while ago and I felt SO HAPPY. 
We had to go to Nagoya for a meeting Wentz ε§ε¦Ή had and holy. Actually holy I forgot how terrible it is there in the summer. THE HUMIDITY. I was reminded of when I was transferred there in August last year and yep. It was terrible. While Wentz ε§ε¦Ή was in her meeting, I was with Bleazard ε§ε¦Ή. We had a blast. One of my fav things that happened was this real funky lady came up to us in the middle of McDonalds and just poured frozen blueberries on my tray then walked away. This gives you a good idea of how our day went.
Anyways, the point is, I love Nagoya, but being in Nagano in the summer is a BLESSING! We are right next to the mountains rather than right smack in the middle of the city! "At least we are not in Nagoya" has been our catch phrase when the sun gets real strong.
We visited Nobue and she opened the door with a huge smile on her face telling us how she has been waiting for us to visit her. This woman brings me so much joy. Everyone please please pray for her!
On Saturday we went to Ueda and had the most Japanese experience of our lives. 6 of us missionaries joined about 25ish other Japanese men in carrying this mini shrine thing in a parade on our shoulders and our bodies died. We were chanting (tsuya) the whole time (I think it's the name of the group we were apart of, idrk) so our voices also died. We didn't get great pictures, but trust, this things was HEAVY
JAPAN TIPS WOOO- most homes do not have ovens.
- it's not necessarily rude, but not as accepted to be walking down the street and eating something. That doesn't stop me though when I have the munchies. Mwahaha
- as I have learned this week and been told lots, Japanese people LOVE when foreigners participate in their cultural things.

We are back babyREAD THIS TALK
Why Not Now?
recently there have been a lot of things I've wanted to do, but I keep thinking... I'll start doing that when I get home from my mission, or go back to college. Then I read this talk and got slapped in the face a little bit. Why am I waiting? The truth is because I'm lazy and I hope future me will not be BUT that will only happen if I start NOW. I encourage all of you to read this talk, then think about what in your life you are putting off simply because you don't want to start now. THEN GO! START! YES! This is how you become stronger and better. I know your Heavenly Father will help you do this as you reach out to Him for help.He loves you SOOO MUCHH EEEK
I love you too weee
Make it a good week!!
