Hello!

Hello! Sorry this email is a bit late- we have transfers this week so we have pday on tuesday with our District. We made squidballs, chocolate chip pancakes, salsa and chips, and 3 different types of popcorn!...obviously boys put together the menu. But it has been really fun! We played games and stuff.

Soo my companion went home to america! I was so sad and dpressed for like three days. But I know that Heavenly father needs her on the home front in california. I have been working with two other sisters for the past week.


OH MY GOSH BIG NEWS..........

I AM BREAKING THIS TRANSFER!!!!!!!!!!!! that means I am training a 2nd transfer bean. what the heck I just barley escaped that! So i am a little bit extremely humbled right now and have no idea what i am doing. I hope she doesnt hate me because I stink.

I went to fukuoka yesterday to the training meeting and I took these pics along the way; fall in Japan is the best! except right now it is freezing and the winds are at speeds of about six thousand miles an hour.　tanoshimi!!!!!!! (this is melissa...i didn't get any pics with this email so maybe she'll send them next week.) 

The trainers meeting was really great- their were only 2 sisters there. Me and Fujita shimai. She is a nihonjin and is the kindest most sweetest person ever. She is 27! What the heck i love her. She is in my district.



yes. this is what I get to look at. Welcome to Japan!

Yay to the Nuckols on being mission president and wife!!!!!!!!!! that is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had 2 interesting meals this week. One was a 7 course meal at a super fancy resteraunt. I ate es car go!!!!!!!!!! sick. literally disgusting. I also probably ate a brain and maybe some intestines. IM not really sure. the lady who took us looks like yeezma from the emporeres new groove.



 The second meal was......meat! we ate with shinji kyodai who is in the mob. he made us eight plates of meat. I got food poisoning the day after. fun! It was a fun meal though- he is an interesting guy! I am greatful for his sacrifice to feed the missionaries because he doesnt have a lot of money and meat like that is expensive.


We taught some great lessons this week. we have a lot of wonderful people to teach and I am excited for this next transfer. Also two of our less actives came to church! wahoo!

I learned a really great lesson about the atonement this week. The atonement is like a mom who pays the full price for her child to take piano lessons. SHe doesnt expect the child to pay back the price, she just asks him or her to practice. From this little sacrice of practice she sees that the child is thankful for her sacrifice. Through the practicing, both the child and the mother are edified. THe atonement is the same way. The savior doesnt expect us to pay the full price for our sins, but he does ask us to exscercise some faith in him and to follow his commandments so that we can become the best people we can be because he loves us and can see our potential.

I am thankful for all of you- what are you thankful for this thanksgiving!?

I am really nervous to train but I support the decision and Know it comes from God. Hope you all have a great day!!!!!! Miss you all!


Love, Sister Nelson
