Welcome to japan! This has been quite the week! Really, jet lag is
really something. I got to see my cousin... Wait, let's go back some. Ok, last week, we all got up really early to be at the travel office at the MTC at 2:30, and we all made it there. As we drove away, we waved goodbye to the MTC, and to Provo, and went on our way in the bus. What a day, and I was wide awake. I began singing the fourth verse of Come come Ye Saints, but that fell out of favor quickly. .. After all, it does begin, "and should we die, before our journey's through" .. I love that verse. Just wasn't the best for the time, I suppose. :) Got to the airport, and figured everything out. .. Slowly. I was supposed to be travel leader, but I really think that out of everyone I was the last to figure out what we were doing. At Texas, where our layover was, a couple of the Elders disappeared! When we were boarding, we had no idea where they went, but we had to board the plane. ^.^ I was freaking out! but later! they got on the plane. They had gone to a separate area to find something for breakfast. It was all good. We were fed really well on the plane, and I met some really great people. When we got to the airport in narita, we went through customs, and when we got out on the other side, no one was there to meet us! So we waited. And called the number we had, got everything figured out, and soon enough, the Elders were there to pick us up. We had a great bus ride to the mission home, past Disneyland and Tokyo tower, and the really famous things in japan. Great stuff. I'm in japan. Now I'm here. What a great place, with really wonderful people. Much more to come, but for now, know that I'm doing great. Mina San, 愛しています。 Blake 姉妹 Oh, and I got to meet Blake 長老 my cousin. It was really great. I didn't think I'd get to meet him, but God provided a way, and we got to talk some. If there's something he said that I remember, it's the words he said to my companion, "Blake shimai o break shinaide kudasai." Love it! Comments are closed.
