Sayounara Texas!

 どうもジョーンズ長老です！！

Bye President and Sister child

Well, I left Texas and am now in Sapporo! It's been a wild time, so I'm gonna give a brief overview of everything that's happened.

-saying bye to everyone was really sad

-I got to fly with a bunch of other missionaries, including a few from my MTC days!

-Japanese airline service is super super nice

-I've gotten super sleepy around 7 o'clock every day

-This place is so pretty! I could stare out the window or walk down the street all day

-The members are so nice here! My japanese isn't great, but it's fun to use!

-I'm in a trio with Elder Oshima and Elder Davis, and we have an Elder from my MTC named Elder Hill with us! He's hilarious and it will be very quiet when he leaves haha

-I'm in the north part of Sapporo, an area called Miyanosawa.

-the ward is bigger than I thought! And wow sacrament meeting was crazy. I caught a word here and there haha

-people dress so nice over here

-we can tract here! So I am excited to actually do that for once

-street contacting is hard... we get business cards though!

-trains are fun

-Everyone is always busy!

-The church building is so different! It's really cool, but it's very simplistic and efficient, if that makes sense

-the food is really tasty here, and the snacks are to die for!

Theres a ton more I could write about this place, but I really do miss Texas, and all the people there! I will say, I've learned that the Gospel is definitely true in all languages

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I've taken lots of pictures but I'll try to decide which ones to add!
