I. Love. The. MTC.
It is seriously amazing here. I am in love with it all. I am
convinced I have the best companion ever. His name is Jason Sherrill, and he is
a recent convert from California. Him and I are already best friends. He was
baptized a little over a year ago, and I swear he knows more than I do about
the gospel. It’s amazing. We get along so well, and we fit each other
perfectly.
Our district is awesome. We have an Australian Shimai (Sister)
as well as a Taiwanese Shimai. It is rad. They are all spiritual giants, and I
hope they rub off on me.
Nihongo wa hontoo muzukashi desu. (Japanese is really
difficult.) We have been teaching an investigator named Shimizu san. She
committed to be baptized on our third lesson! It was an amazing feeling. Our
last lesson was very rough. It was on the law of chastity... I know, right?!
Haha, it didn’t help that one of our teachers, Babcock Shimai (Our teachers are
literally the greatest people ever.), told us not to use prepared phrases, and
just use vocab. So, as I was writing down vocab, I wrote down the word
sexual...because the law of chastity... and it was something like seiteki na.
Then, right below it was the word sacred, which I also intended to write down.
But, right when I was about to write it down, I got distracted and accidentally
wrote down the word for sexual in place of sacred without noticing. So... fast
forward a half an hour to our lesson. We were saying stuff like, "Marriage
is very sexual." and, "The Law of Chastity is sexual." ......
YEAH. I KNOW. I finally noticed when my companion used his dictionary to look
up sacred and we realized it was wrong. I audibly said, " Oh. Crap."
and of course, Shimizu san can speak English, so when she realized that I had
noticed my mistake, we all started dying. We probably laughed for a solid ten
minutes. I was so embarrassed. Literally one of the worst mistakes I could have
made. But it made for a good story.....
I am so grateful for all of your guys' good examples on me. I
hope all of you know that. Every single one of you has rubbed off on me and
helped me get to where I am today. I couldn't be more thankful. I mention you
all in my prayers every night.
How are all of you doing?! I would love it if you all wrote me
handwritten letters... I know it is difficult, but it is the best feeling ever
to get a letter. I can also read it when it isn't P-Day... So that is rad.
ALSO!!! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! My companion has been getting a ton of letters
from all of these girls through the Dear Elder system. If you don't know what
it is, it’s alright. I didn’t. But I really want to show him up and get more
than him... Haha, so go and register on Dear Elder, it is free, and send me a
letter telling me how you are all doing! Or you can write me. But I will try
and write you all back. I don’t remember what my address is, and I realized
that I never gave it out. But I have some basic info that should help:
Mailbox is 163
Branch 27-B
Nagoya, Japan
Elder Passey
That should be enough... I hope! I look forward to hearing from
all of you!
Thanks again!
Ganbatte! (Good Luck!)

WILL SEND PICTURES LATER... WE ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE IT ALL OUT!) :) <3
