There's just a little Japanese for you - haha. It just says today we are going to the Tokyo temple and this week was interesting - haha. So we ate sushi on Monday with S--and S--. It was fun and they basically treat us like their grand kids - haha. They help us with everything. It's so funny. I'll send you pictures of my first sushi experience. We were able to give them each a Book of Mormon that day. S--was busy but S-- came to church. It went well.  In the second hour we had two  investigators there. The other elders had one too and their investigator speaks English and refuses to speak Japanese - haha. So everyone was speaking English and I had to translate for S--. It was my first time translating. It was so much fun!! Even though  I was not good at it I was still able to translate most of it. I got the ideas across - haha. It felt really good though to be able to help her understand.  Yesterday we ate sukiyaki with them. You make the food while your sitting there. They didn't make us sit seiza thank goodness. My knee can't handle it - haha -  it tasted really good. We meet with them again on Saturday and we are going to try to have them both come to church:) My talk didn't go as well this time. I didn't have much time, just a week, and I only translated it once. So I got up there and started doing it and then I was like, "what was I thinking? This doesn't make sense..." So I just turned my ipad off and talked - haha. It went way better once I did that, I didn't mention either that I was the last speaker and had 20 minutes?!? I saw that and the branch president just smiled. I did it though and after wards he was just laughing because he knew it was really tough - haha. My testimony of Christ grew a lot this week. I love the Gospel. Everyday reading the Book of Mormon and Bible I realize more and more how much it means to me and how my life is centered on the gospel. Everyone time we talk to people I testify to them about eternal families and what the Book of Mormon has done for me in my life. That seems to work the best because they can see how much it means to me. At a testimony meeting one of the less active bore his testimony about prayer and he said that since he's changed his prayers to praying for thanks and others more it has helped him the most, I want to challenge you all to do the same. I can promise you if you do that your prayers will be stronger too:) Sounds like SFA is doing well! That's awesome!The temple was great. I enjoyed it a lot. There was a little bit of japanesey-ness to it too. So cool. There was am amazing picture of Mount Fuji. I'm back in Kisarazu now. It's already transfers again next week!?! I'll get to let you know what's happening next email. I love you all!!!!!!

Love,

 Beautiful Temple
