Hello!

Hello!

Okay lets just get it out now. I AM GETTING A BEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

yes. I am training. oh my gosh why me I have no idea. I dont know her name yet so that will have to come next week. We have transfers on thursday.

This week was pretty busy. We had some good lessons with Nozomi and Stamatia San. The Lord really has been guiding us - especially in our use of scriptures. 

I read a really good quote about when youth investigate the church, it says

Sometimes you hear adults say what is right or wrong. But when you have a friend your age who says the same thing, you follow that person. 

I was like oh my gosh that is so true! We hear about teens who fall in with the wrong crowd all the time because of their friends. So what if the opposite could happen? how many lives could we save? How many parents could sleep better if we reached out to the youth- reached out to friends our age?

We need to be better leaders instead of just standing alone. Make a posse people! 

Yay to Grant and welcome home to Jeremy! 

On Sunday we got to go to Fukuoka to the mission home so sister Cullison could draw characatures for families at the zoo (it was boys day on monday so it was a big holiday weekend.) We had a little booth outside the temple/mission home which is right outside the zoo. It was so fun to hand out ctr rings and filers and advertise for Sister Cullison! She is an amazing artist! After that we went to the mission home for dinner. Sister Gustafsen made us dinner just for us! it was so delicious and american! We were just sitting in the huge mission home eating dinner by ourselves. way fun. then the APs came in to make dinner and then President and Sister Got home so we talked with them for a while and then went home!

Sister Cullison is transfering to UBE!!! haha so funny I am so excited for her cause ube is the best! except for chikushino is the best too.

We had a fun dinner with our Bishops family yesterday- his wife is Edna Mode from the incredibles. except way cute. But she made us this AWESOME traditional japanese dinner for Boys day with lots of cool helmet and fish stuff. Ill send some pictures. But then we had this awesome picture taking thing where we made funny faces- Bishop said if I shared them I had to tell people he was my special friend and not my bishop. I love him. Also he freaked out when I told him I knew where branson was. he loves the Osmonds. 

Okay Gotta go- TALK TO YOU ON MONDAY FOR ME AND SUNDAY FOR YOU LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love, Sister Nelson

ps. thanks for the package and th cds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also pps my clothes are holding out good- some are nasty but heres the best thing- thrift stores here are just as good as they are in america!!!!

​these are the helmets I learned how to make. 

this is sister Kuchar. Shes the best. 

When bishop was teaching us how to make them, he kept saying riyoho wich means both but we have this inside joke about yoho wich means nothing so we kept saying yoho! and bishop thought that meant like im done! in english or somehing so he wouldnt move on to the next step unless we said yoho! it was way fun. So now we call these yo ho hats.

this is an oragami helmet! so cool I learned how to make them! (actuallly a way simpler one....this kind is way intense.)

 yep.. thats my bishop!
