Well I tried to make it like Mission Impossible.
こんにちわ皆さん。元気ですか。
So this is it folks, my last e-mail from the BYU State Penitentiary. We say goodbye to the good ole MTC on Monday at 0330 in the morning. We fly from SLC to Detroit at 0730 and then we fly from Detroit straight to Nagoya at 1330 and land in Nagoya at 1730 the next day. Crazy isn't it? It's so exciting to get to finally go to Nihon. There are 14 of us Senkyoushi on our flight (8 choro-tachi and 6 shimai-tachi) and I don't know how we are going to be seated or anything. We are not allowed to watch the movie or anything on the flight. It's going to be a long ride. I'm probably going to catch up on some sleep. The only other thing we're allowed to do is read my scriptures. Tanoshii desu ne?
It's going to be pretty sad leaving our shimai behind. Our whole district has become really tight over the last 8 weeks. It's going to be hard to leave all the boys behind once we split up in Nagoya. We only spend one night in Nagoya and then we go straight to our area. The Kobe missionaries spend 3 days at their mission home which just seems like a long time. I'd love to get sent to somewhere in the Japanese mountain countryside, but knowing my luck I'll be sent to a big city area. I'm sure I'll love wherever I end up.
It's time to rock and roll. I love what I'm doing and I know I am going exactly to where the Lord needs me to go. It's going to be hard with lots of difficulty learning a new language and trying to get people to talk to me, but with God anything is possible.
皆さん愛しています。 I am so grateful for your love, support, and prayers. I need all the help I can get. Talk to you all when I get to Nihon!!
