ハロー、 マイ。ナム。イズ。タイゲ。ワツ。ヨウ。ナム? (Mai. Namu. Izu. Taige. Watsu. You. Namu?) Reading japanese is hard(no katakana is not Japanese). But you know what is harder? Loving. And you have the ability to use all that time spent not reading Japanese on loving others and you still might feel like its not enough or it isn’t for you. You are enough. Well, as long as you’re making your best effort. If you feel like you could be doing more, is it that or would you be sacrificing other things in order to “do more”.

Howsie Doosie, –Bob Judd asked about you today. He asked what’s your favorite thing to eat there? My favorite thing to eat here is usually whatever is cheap. Buuut, I found these jelly things from 7/11 for 150en(1$) that are so nice to just snack on. Real food wise probably the pizza or pie I made. Unfortunately, nothing is quite as American as American recipe food. My favorite Japanese food was this homemade zangie(fried chicken) from the branch presidents wife.

Suh, People yelled about getting tired of sending emails and I feel like those same people are the ones with communication problems. Not saying I don’t have them because I keep sending these emails later and later but yeah… Low-key forgot my special what did I do on what day calendar I started recently because rn I’m going to zone conference. I guess one cool thing was we went to an activity that was given to us by a protector of the marimo(Japanese moss balls) because he co-host a meet up activity for college students to hang out with elementary students and all the like in-between.

Suh, Since Kamachi Chourou is training and still in Kushiro, I got to meet my little brother. His name is Williams Chourou and his favorite color is blue. His favorite Pokemon is piplup. *He wanted me to take the color part off but since when did I listen to my little brother. I told Toma Kaichou that I made bread and either he has a really good memory or the branch president talked about it.

Ohakonbannichiwa, I started saying that and although maybe only people from Hokkaido find it funny it has been getting laughs. I suppose its the equivalent of Good Mornevenday. From Mom: How is the new year treating you? Treating me with a plentiful amount of breaks and chill time. Unfortunately, this is true whether or not you are with a friend, at the apartment, or with members. Its new years and that means naps apparently.
