The bug wars continue and typhoon season is...disapppointing

dear family,

i got the numerous post cards that you sent...every last one of them. i think i succeeded in making howe choro trunky when i showed him. mwahahahaha.

anyhow, yeah...i got bishop...err...brother?... jobe`s letter last night and my companion had to endure me writhing about the floor screaming `noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!` for about 3 minutes. She thinks i am insane.

bishop hadley huh? cant say i am that surprised. Clarissa and i were predicting that looooooong ago. =P

Poor brianna...cant sleep in. ask me if i care hee hee.

I cant belive that yoo-jin got grounded on returning home. wah. lame. how are the koreans anyhow? wahhhh! they are all juniors now! EW i am old!

brianna is such a 16 year old by the way. i liked her `its cute...like my handwriting` comment. *rolls eyes*

so how is arizona? Its hot here....and humid...and i am wet and probably smell...but everyone is the same so it doesnt really matter. its just gross. actually i am good on deoderant...i stocked up before i left the MTC so i have a whole nother stick after the one i am using runs out.

we have had some crazy weather lately...kind of. it rather reminds me of arizona actually. minus the humidity. but you know what i am talking about. clear in the morning and thunderstorms in the evening. i can see the thunderheads building up as i ride my bike and i get excited...and then it ends up like an arizona thunderstorm....dry. -_-

actually the other day it poured pretty much all day. and we got soaked again because we are dumb and thought an umbrella would suffice. my shoes wont survive typhoon season... but i figure i will just wear my black ones all through it and then send home for the extra pair once these die. Its my last typhoon season so i should be alright. whoa...weird. my last what huh? I cant belive i am saying that.

Speaking of lasts...my companion got her death letter recently and she made ME open it. so now her death is on my hands.

Lets see...I am trying to think of what happened this week but all the days are becoming one. We go out. we contact people. and like Harris choro says...they talk to us for about 5 seconds before running away. =P

Speaking of Harris choro, when you write him back tell him I miss him terribly in the most missionary appropriate way. And can someone get me the address of the Australia Adalaides mission. )i dont think i spelled that right... Anyhow, brown choro needs a letter.

lalalala...anything interesting happen this week? Oh! we went to a matsuri last night! it was so much fun! we just stopped by to see the dancing on the way to visit a member.

This week we had a new investigator come to church. Saran. She is from mongolia and her parents joined the church in mongolia so she found the church in Shibuya and from there was referred to us. She is really cute! We will start teaching her this sunday!

Also on sunday, (which was fast sunday and I am an idiot and didnt drink water and nearly died but that is a different story) we had dinner at the Humphreys. We took Momi, the girl that we met at Musashino that took us to her english class, and we had family home evening over there. After we left momi chan decided to start taking lessons ^_^

So yeah...about sunday...well we didnt know the guidelines for drinking on fast sunday and we kept telling ourselves `we dont really NEED it yet...we can make it a little longer`

long story short, we got to the humphreys and drowned in our glasses at dinner. Darner choro laughed at us cuz we are so stupid and we got sick from drinking so much so fast. The next day I had to trick my body into absorbing water by sucking on ice and drinking a little at a time (which I actually wouldnt have known to do had I not babysat Clarissa when she had morning sickness =P)

Anyhow, next fast sunday we will drink water...

Lets see...what else happened? We are teaching a family now. Sunny and Heeguen. They are eikaiwa students, a mother and her son. Sunny also wants to bring her husband but he works late so we havent met with him yet. They are Korean and lately, Sunny has been thinking a lot about God and she says she has a lot of things that she feels like she cant do right now so she wants help. We planned to just teach the first two principles of lesson 1 along with restoration, prayer, and Book of Mormon. (lesson 1 is so full of so many things that its hard to teach all at once to people who have no concept of God yet) but we ended up teaching the entire lesson cuz that was just the way it ended up. We arent sure why...the only thing we can think of is that they needed to hear all of lesson 1. We will probably never know. but we meet them again this week ^_^

In other news, who wants to hear about my pains and afflictions!?!

I have the chicken pox. You thought you could only get them once...but nooooooooooo... they lied!

ok...I dont have the chicken pox. I just have so many stupid mosquito bites I LOOK like I have chicken pox!

Yesterday we were visiting a member and there was a bush by her door. My companion brushed it on her way by and out came a CLOUD of mosquitos. Of course...we were at the door talking to a member...so there was nothing we could do except stand there and get eaten!

I think that now...when I read about Adam and Eve and the earth being `cursed for their sake` I will always think of mosquitos -_-

ok! on that happy note! That is really all I have this week. Hey! Eguchi and Watanabe shimai just walked in! They are my two favoritist shimai! Anyhow, I must go. We are in Hiroo, just went to the temple, and now we much take the train and fight our way through shinjuku eki. oh the fun times!

Take care and have fun...at school and stuff...tell brianna to suck it up! =p

Love,
Halliday shimai
