Hello loved ones!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!! I'll send you a picture of a father's day mug I saw (: pretend that I am giving it to you. It's like in Blues Clues when you take things out of the pictures. Or Willy Wonka.

Soo this is the last transfer under Zinke kaicho and Zinke shimai and I think he thinks he's funny because I'm training this next transfer?????????????????????????????? hahahah I haven't collapsed yet so maybe I'm still in shock. Black shimai is opening another sister's area and I'm staying in Wakayama with my trainee who will be decided on Friday.

I GET TO SEE THE ZINKES AGAIN!!!!! hahaha my new companion will think I'm super weird when I start crying again. hahha maybe that's the only thing consoling me right now is the knowledge that I'm going to see them again??

So my new companion is still in America and will probably be coming to Japan on Wednesday. She'll stay in the headquarters with the Zinkes once she finally gets here and on Friday President Zinke will interview all of the new missionaries and from there pray and decide who will become my new companion. Each day for 12 weeks we'll have an extra hour of study where we'll develop teaching skills and just learn how to become missionaries. And I just kinda guide her along the way and help her adjust into real missionary life. I'm really excited to find out who my new companion is (: On Friday I'll go to a training meeting for all of the trainers and get more information. hahah I'm super excited but also super nervous. Sometimes missionaries come into the field with a japanese language background (fingers crossed) but sometimes they're like me and we'll just start from the MTC teaching base.

also i just accidentally swiped all of the pictures off of my camera and my heart just broke and I feel like my brain was just swiped. I am so grateful I sent a couple pictures last week. black shimai snagged some off of my card before my computer ate all of them and deleted them off the face of the world. good thing one day we will have a perfect recollection of our earthly experience and I will remember all of them and perfectly remember all of the experiences anyway so I won't even need pictures. one day, ne.

hahah also, mom no worries, I am excited to come home someday when that day comes. thank you so much for sending me all of the pictures of our family. the treck looked super fun!!! and I want to show all of the japanese children bryan's victorious running away from school picture to show them what childhood should be like.

this week was also crazy awesome but I've used up all my time and black shimai needs to go pack. I learned how to make gyozas! handmade gyozas! which wasn't the highlight of my week, but it was still cool and really quick to write.

I love you alllllllllllllllllll!

love,

Daniels shimai <3
