Star Wars in Japan!

I Got my hair cut super short!

I didn't mean to get my hair cut as short as I did, but my Japanese isn't very good and when he asked me I said cut a little, which I guess he interpreted as cut it to just a little, but its fine.

3rd Anniversary of the Tsunami

This last week was the 3 year anniversary of the tsunami, I believe it happened at 2:46 pm, they sounded the Ishinomaki city alarm and there was a minute of silence in the city in remembrance of all the lives that were lost.

You Will Never Believe What Happened!

Also you will never believe what happened, and it happened to be while I was on splits with another missionary so I didn't see it in person, but me and the Elder I was on splits got back to the apartment last Saturday and the other Elders said you will never guess what we saw today, and they pulled out their camera and showed us a picture of them with the Tohoku Japan 501st Garrison, I guess they were doing something near the manga museum and happened to run into them

The Japanese Elder on the left is my companion Elder Akiyama, the Elder on the right is Elder Berkley, we were in the MTC together so it was pretty cool to be in the same apartment , sadly I didn't get to see these guys but they were pretty excited to see them. My companion has never even seen Star Wars though.

This is my district, 1 Japanese person 1 Chinese person 1 Canadian and 3 Americans, this is from last weeks District meeting, we have some other pictures that I will email as soon as I get a copy of them.


The missionaries in my district are Elder Berkley, Elder Olsen, Sister Johnson and Sister Luk. Sister Luk is Chinese, she is from Hong Kong. Then there is me and my companion Elder Akiyama.

Anyways, I hope everything has been going well!
