wow, nothing gets me quite as trunky as salem days,,, well, and byu football, and since that's just around the corner, it's gonna be a hard to focus 3 months most likely... the picture of the Water Skeeter was pretty dang awesome, and sorry tad, but in that picture i got of you and mud volleyball, it looks like the game just ended, and you were way mad, don't worry, I've been playing volleyball every week out here for about 6 months, so I'm practicing hard, then next year we'll show those old aldrege men who can really get dirty... (pun intended i think)
wow I really miss salem days though.
This past week, lets see. They are all kinda the same as of late, but i did get alot of really awesome pictures and maybe even a video i'll send ya. so because it's summer break here right now, all the little kids have nothing to do. so the relief society came up with this brilliant idea, The missionaries will teach english to the kids! First off, i think it's a great idea, we already teach english ever thursday night, but here's the catch. we teach to adults. Now we have a class with children, age 0 (yes, that's a zero) to 12! and all the parents just kinda bring their kids, then they leave to some other room, and we have 15 tiny kids, who don't want to learn english, just attack the missionaries,,, it makes for an interesting hour. I want to call mom for some advice, but i can't really do that, so I called the couple i met back in october last year, they teach little kid eikaiwa too. so they're helping me out a bit, it's just too insane!
So, on saturday, we were coming home, when we found this matsuri, it's a japanese festival. This week is called Obon, it's where they do this freaky dance, call back their ancestors to life, then they eat, drink and be merry for the next day they all die again. so we went to this festival and watched all the freaky ness, way cool. I got some videos, but i don't know if you can watch them, they're in a weird format. but i'll at least send some pictures of it!

yup, that was my week! dancing, teaching eikaiwa, and pretty much just trying to find good pictures I guess! wait, then we also worked! we found a Kinjin!!! (golden investigator in japanese) she's from sri lanka, and wants to be baptised so that she can marry her boyfriend! yosh!!!
peace out!
btw, if you can keep getting me Nick's email! and dozo, give him mine!
