Rawr、
It always feels like I did this yesterday and also not for a month. Writing emails I mean.

Questions from parents:(mostly father)
Did you celebrate pie day? Nope, we were going to but the timing didn’t work out to hang out with our friends, I’m planning on doing a tao day instead maybe. We missed vday, saint Patrick’s, presidents day, etc.

So, how is your teaching pool?
Large enough? Full of fun friends with more friends to get. Not sure any baptisms soon but progression is sure. Recently a guy just came out of church because he wanted to pray. He hadn’t met with missionaries in a looooong time.

What new friends have you met?
A lot of old grandmas and grandpas. The Isaiah college student. I went to a college presentation one of my kushiro friends gave on tomakomai transportation. It was in japanese and very complicated.

What old friends are you helping move along?
Nayoro is actually only a couple years old so no ancient friends but, slowly teaching them principles so they can start to feel good light on their own and have a desire to learn.

Are you still teaching English classes?
Yup, 2. Nayoro and shibetsu. The other elders teach kids eikaiwa.

How do you meet people when it is very snowy?
By walking to their house or meeting them outside. Snow is cleared here same as America. And this year we didn’t get near as much snow. If it’s too snowy we just shovel all day.

Lots of Facebook contacting?
Almost none. I joined the moderation team for a transfer but haven’t done it in a while.

Any big easter plans in Japan?
We have an Easter Sunday party and church will be a little different. I wanted to do an Easter egg hunt but we decided that would be too much.

Apparently no so much, but people care more about Sukura?
Idk what sukura is.

So, do you celebrate Sukura with snow on the ground?
まだ I don’t know

Perhaps you need to help everyone know about Popcorn-popping. Then they will know about the spring suprise! Mhm. They do like corn here so maybe it would be a good idea.

Have you seen any yoghurt delivery people?
Apparently it is a thing in Japan. I would think in Hokkaido, they would have lots of Yoghurt and could use delivery? Perhaps? Let me know. I have not seen any but supposedly they exist. They’re expensive though. I’ve been thinking about doing it however canceling something like that doesn’t seem like the easiest thing to do.

How are things going for you?
Good i think. This four person apartment is not my favorite. It has its highs and lows. It’s a little cursed though. We have some interpersonal and personal skills that need work.

Have you met lots of farmers?
No. Unfortunately we haven’t had a lot of time this transfer to just go housing in the middle of nowhere. I’d like to try it though.

What is happening in Two rivers?
Water is flowing. Wait wait wait sediment degration -Andersen chourou

Sorry answers are short and this email is late. I’ll try to be on time next week.

Love you. God loves you. Have a good weekend.
