Well I can't start this email without giving a HUGE shout out to the best mom in the universe. The one and only @marcimod. I could say it time and time again, but thank you for everything you have done for me. I love you! SO FUN TO TALK TO YOU TODAY (and the rest of the fam. You guys are chill too. hehe)
Oh heavens you guys. I don't even know where to start with this week. It was absolutely NUTS. Let me just paint you a picture. Sister Larsen was my companion for a total of a few hours this week. HOURS YOU GUYS. We had like 20 bajillion things to do and exchanges and it was just insane. I got to be with Sister Kouyama and Sister Shoji on exchanges for a couple of days this week. They are the 2 Japanese sisters in our zone and I LOVE them. But let's just say that my English has definitely taken a hit.... I literally do not know how to speak English! It's bad hahahahahaha.

A once-in-a-lifetime thing happened this week I worked on a rice farm! YEP YOU HEARD ME. A RICE FARM. Rice planting season is like 3 days of the year and Oya 兄弟, a member, owns a farm and called us up to help. #SCORE. Hahahahahaha it was so fun. It just took me back to the days of my Grandpa Dave's farm. (s/o to you gpa lol) I didn't realize how much I would miss being covered in dirt with a view of nothing but the work truck and miles of fields. So unreal. Definitely a highlight of the week.
ALSO the elders' investigator, Takahashi, got baptized this week. I LOVE HIM YOU GUYS. He literally is the funniest person I have ever met in my entire life. I can't even describe in my own words. Lol. Such a homie. Right before he went to get baptized he walks up to me and whispers to me, "Moda chan... (that's what he calls me) how long should I stay under... 3 days?" HAHAHAH WHAT? Legend. I have nothing more to say on the subject.

Sorry this email is kind of allllll over the place but I just want you to know a few things. A. I love my mission. B. This church is so true and seeing it change people's lives--like Takahashi's--is amazing! C. I am having the time of my life out here, and D. Japan wins on so many different levels.
SAY YOUR PRAYERS AND TELL YOUR MOMS YOU LOVE THEM
