konnichiwa!

this week was great!!! I experienced my first mini typhoon which was exciting. I'm super impressed that japanese houses stay intact because the winds are sooooooooo strong and the houses are sooooo fragile and tiny with no insulation. but it was super cool. hahha biking was impossible though. but the day after was sooooo beautiful and the sun came out and there was a chocolate making party for the relief society and young women (which is like 7 people). but i LOVE these members. they are honestly some of the strongest people I have ever met in my life. their faith is soooooooooooooo rock solid. all of the members have a stake calling and a branch calling and work and raise families and like 7000 other things. we worked with the branch members a lot this week and they have so much dendo fire!!!! I have soooo much respect for them.

I have to go but I'll send you some cool pictures of japanese things

i love you alllllllll! sorry this is so short!!!

love,
