Called To Serve-Sapporo, Japan : Just two American Girls living in a Japanese World

Well, here I am. In Japan. Holy Cow. It was quite the adventure to get here actually. We
almost missed our plane to Tokyo because we are novice travelers... Then my new district
almost missed our bus to our area. And I almost got ran over today. Missions are fun!

Anyway, this email will be short because I don`t have a ton of time! My trainer is Sister
Johnson. She is from Spanish Fork and super cute! We are essential the same human being
she is just much nicer than I am! Like way nicer... Anyway this is here first time being a senior
companion and trainer. She tells me she is sorry she is my trainer, but she is amazing! Her
Japanese is beautiful and she is an awesome missionary!

Sometimes we actually have no idea what is going on and she says we are just two American
girls living in a japanese world. Then I laugh and proceed to sing Journey.

Ok, so I am in a little city called Obihiro. It isn`t your average Japanese city. Actually accept for
the food and the people I dont really feel like I am in Japan. It isn:t at all what I expected but it
is good! Mostly this week has been a blur. I follow Sister Johnson around like a lost puppy,
because at this point in time that is what I am. I have no clue what people are saying to me
or what to say to them. I did bear my testimony in sacrament though! Usually that would
terrify me, but everything is so strange and new here that I just take everything as it comes
and learn to shrug my shoudlers. The work's hard here and we are the only sisters in our area
and have a ton to juggle, but apparently we are supposed to be here. I`m trying to be

positive! I know I am here for a reason and I am sure I will find it!

I love you all and hope you have a great week!

PS Sorry if this makes no sense I think I am half asleep.
