Hello everyone, I'm still alive and kicking but every new day here in the MTC presents new challenges and new opportunities for growth. Our teachers are awesome and every day we are learning more and more bunpo (grammar). This has helped me expand my horizon in Japanese, but for now I am working on learning around 100 conjugations and it's a bit tough but hey welcome to the life of a missionary. There have been some awesome experiences this week as my companion has convinced me to be in the choir. And this week we sang with the Nashville Tribute Band at the Sunday devotional. If you don't know who the band is it's ok neither did I, and you can look them up. It was still an awesome experience though. Then on Tuesday it was Elder Larry Echo Hawk. He had many inspiring stories that made you think about life. As we have progressed in Japanese one of our teachers, Crandal Kyodai (Brother) ,who is awesome, decided to teach us some awesome kanji (characters). These kanji are relatively common in Nippon (Japan), and have deep gospel meaning behind them. The first three we learned were Ship, Forbidden, and Naked. If you can figure out how they relate to the gospel they kind of blow your mind. Well I hope everything is awesome outside of the MTC.
Love, Elder WIlliams
