Dear Family,

Things are going really well here and I keep having great experiences, even with all the rain up here. I`ve actually enjoyed getting hit from head to foot by a wave of water that a car hit. We had a cool experience where we met this guy early in the day and he was busy and didn`t have time, but that night we ran into him again and taught him a lesson. It was amazing to see the Lord`s hand in guiding us to him two times in a day. We also were housing one night and went to this apartment. The man opened the door and said, Come in. So we went in and found out that he is a member and moved here to Obihiro not to long ago. He`s chinese, but his Japanese was pretty good. It`s been amazing here and so many things are happening. It`s so incredible being here on a mission. Transfers is this week, but right now I don`t know if I am transfering or not. But I do know that my companion is transfering, so I will definitely be having a new companion, but I don`t know who. So I`ll let you know more next week about that. I love you all very much.

Love
