Dear Fam-Thanks for the e-mail and letters! Yes, I am in the same area I was when I first got to Japan. This Saturday we find out who will transfer. That happens every 6 weeks. About e-mail: we have a separate e-mail that we use for missionary work. So this account that I'm using now to write to you, I still only open on P-day.
Thanks for your prayers for Sano! She is set to be baptized this Sunday, and we still need to teach her the Word of Wisdom and about Tithing. She already heard about tithing at church, and we mentioned the word of wisdom already too... so hopefully all goes well. I've come to realize that every time someone gets baptized it's a miracle.
Yesterday we were walking down the street and we saw this old lady coming out of her house so we went over and talked to her. I think she had more lipstick on than she did teeth... she was quite the character. I asked her if she had ever had the chance to learn about Jesus Christ. The next thing I know she reached up and tapped me on the cheek, and then on the other cheek... Sister Asai said she was quoting the scripture about turning the other cheek as she did that. It sure took me by surprise.
Saturday we went on exchanges and the picture included is from that. There's also another picture from last p-day when our zone went out together.
Well, I love you all!!! Keep up the good work. I hope the girls are doing well in school. Hannah- don't forget the lessons you learned this summer. I think all the time about the e-mail you sent me a couple weeks ago.

PS: some Christmas ideas~Black opaque tights (if you find some that don't already have holes in the toes that would be really great... but I'll take whatever). I'll think of more ideas later. By the way Mom, Sister Derricott's dad comes to Japan once a month and she's actually serving in the ward he goes to here, so if you ever want to save on shipping, he's more than willing.
