Hey! this week has been a week for sure. This place is definitely something. Basically I'm just really trying to have a positive attitude. But the food sucks, I've lost 7 pounds in the two weeks I've been here. tsugoi ja nai. (not good) but its okay at least in not getting fat right? I don't really remember much about this week other than lots of class. One night though there were some kids that came over onto our side of the building to use our pull-up bar and we weren't going to have any of that so we challenged them to a pull-up contest. Each team got 3 people and the team who got the most of course won. So me, Elder Yammada and Elder Gish were on my team. We went first. Yammada did 40, I did 28 and Gish did 22 for 90 pull-ups all together. We ended up giving the other team 5 people and they only did 59 so we kicked their trash. It's really hard to think of things to write because the MTC doesn't really have very much to talk about. But i love you so much and and praying for you every day!
I can read emails every day but only reply on pday. technically i can email all p day till 6:30 as long as its not a distraction but that would be hard. i just emailed you (Mom) more last week because it wasn't like you to not reply so i was a little nervous.
Yeah I'm surviving! I'm so glad he's (Jake McKee) home safe and sound. The pictures are awesome. The language is rough but I'm trying to be positive about it haha. I asked dad for some tips. If you could send me the tenz unit i would love that my neck and back is a little rough and that will help. but just enduring! I love you so much mom!
Please send anything that you feel so desired to send ;) haha (MOM NOTE: I asked him if he had a spiritual experience this week that helped keep him going? ~Momma Baker) Yes i did. It was Sunday and I practically was done with this place, we had just gotten done with the worst dinner and then went to a devotional. The devotional was good but nothing special. Next we all go watch a movie and there are like 5 to choose from. A group of us decided to go to meet the mormons 2. It was a pretty cool movie but then the last people we "met" on it was a music group called Bless4. It's a Japanese music group and they are mormon. It was so so cool because watching it i felt of the love i already have for the Japanese people. When i was watching it i wasn't worried about the language or about anything else i was just wanting to be with the people. It gave me a little boost to be able to keep going and remember why I'm here.
Thanks so much mom I'm trying my best! I'll find someone to serve every day! I love you so much thanks for everything!!!
Kaiti!!
Man sounds like girls camp was crazy!! I'm glad you were able to make the best of it though and still feel the spirit. Sometimes it comes at the craziest times the strongest. The language is definitely hard but i know more than i did when i got here and that's a good thing! im so glad you are loving cheer you will be the cutest cheerleader out there! Tell Alex the keep the boys away haha. I love you ya little cutie and i pray for you everyday (in japanese) keep being an awesome girl i love you!

Hey dad!
Sounds like you’re doing pretty good! Let me tell you about the food because its horrible. I have never been more thankful for moms cooking in my life. Like her cooking was amazing already but now its like dang that stuff is gourmet. The protein bars are great and will help a lot. I’ve already lost 7 pounds so hopefully they can help preserve some of that. I hope you get that bike for joc its scary having her ride your bike! I miss that thing and driving cars already. Dude idk how you learned this language and i wish i could have you here to help me learn because you’re a way better teacher than all these weirdos. This keyboard is a little tempermental and very small if you could get a deal on one that is close to a full size that would be ideal, but if not don’t worry about it ill make this one work. Ive been wearing your tag every single day and get compliments on it all the time its pretty dope i love it. If you have the white one i’d love to wear that one too. This place is rough man and to be honest i’m not sure how i’ve made it this far. I’m just trying to take it a day at a time. Thanks for all you do for me. I love you tons and pray for you every day (in japanese) I can at least do that. but what is a tip to be able to learn? Would you suggest me trying to focus more on vocab now or grammar? I feel like i could at least get my point across with vocab? Anyway i love you so much thanks for being the best.
