Mountains!

 ヤッホー皆さん！

This week was pretty good. I got to go on exchanges down to Alpine. The mission apartment there is called "the shack" and it fits the description haha. But the cool thing is that Alpine is right by the mountains! It was so nice to see those again, I wasn't sure if they still existed haha. Some of the mountain roads we drove on took me right back to Utah; it was green and everything. Quite the sight to behold I must say.

I also got to talk to Iwaasa chourou on zoom which might've been a better sight than those mountains haha. I sure do miss the MTC not gonna lie. But Texas has been great, the members are really trying to fatten me up, so I've had to take that 6:30-7:00 exercise seriously.

I invite you all to make plans to listen to general conference. The opportunity to hear the voices of the apostles and other leaders is so important, especially as thing around us continue to go crazy. I also invite you to prepare some questions, that you can have answered by them! It will make Conference so much more valuable for you.

ありがとう皆さん、またね！

Nicolas response to mom's email: Investigators are all doing fairly well. The lady that's getting baptized is really cool, she's been teaching her students stuff about Japan since I got here. One day, This cute little girl and boy saw us when we went to visit her, and we talked to them, so she told them about us and how we were the ones that help put the animals up and stuff. Then the other day she showed us a video of her class and the little girl told everybody that "the elders" are the ones that help her, and so she was like "what do they look like?" And a bunch of the students threw in random answers that were pretty funny. But then she asked the little girl that saw us and she said "they look Japanese" so that was funny. But yeah she's way cool, everyone else has been doing fine, we found a couple more people to teach this week too.
