Dear Mom & Dad,
Well, she is finally here then. that's cool. I wasn`t able to see the pics though. But, man she is big. So ya, everything is going good tell everyone that or this letter will probably go on the blog so it doesn`t matter. I am trying my best here. I still have the fear of talking to people, like going up to someone and just talk to them, mostly because I will have no idea what they will be saying back to me. Its definitely a scary thought. But, ya everything is going good. I am learning as much as I can right now which isn`t very much. But, I hope I can get through it. And don`t worry about the talk, last week I had to give a talk in church, IN JUST JAPANESE!! That was tough, be thankful you can speak English. Anyways, the teaching is going great. There are some lessons we teach in English so I can understand it, but I hope that the people we are teaching can. We also teach an English class for those that want to learn English, but it is really weird cause they are all way older than me. like 50 years older than me, and I am teaching them. Its weird. But, it is fun too. Oh my goodness, guess what I tried the other day. OCTOPUS. And I have to admit it wasn`t bad, it was chewy. But it also wasn`t that good. But, ya I am trying a lot of new things. It is really weird. So I am going to be really different when I get back so beware. But, ya this week has been pretty tough for me. I have had to introduce myself a lot with pictures, cause for some reason people here love to look at pictures, but I have gotten pretty homesick. Its still really weird being here. Waking up each day and seeing that I am in Japan. Being away from home, and I mean AWAY from home. Its just really weird. But, this place does have its things about it that are way awesome. It is gorgeous. I mean wow, it is amazing here, but right now really humid. I will definitely be sweating a lot. so i will get pretty skinny pretty fast. So i will get through it pretty well. Oh ya, I didn`t tell you. My District Leader is Hancock.** I have seen him like 2 times now for district meetings, and he is still really tall, and will eat anything. That is weird.But, my comps name is Elder Bohman. He is from Alaska. He is way cool. Likes to have fun. so ya he would probably love to get a letter from you. 140 dollars?!*** what the heck was he doing. tell him to slow down. Or don`t let him drive, I would hate to hear he got in an accident. My goodness. he better get his little lead foot cut off. that's is ridiculous. Well, I need to get going we got some shopping to get done. I love you. and miss you.
Love your son,
Elder Ashmore
**Elder Hancock is a young man that was in our ward in Washington! He and Andrew took Japanese together...I believe they made a really interesting video using a barbie and ninja turtles for class...don't know what was said in the video...it was all in Japanese! So...it is pretty cool Lane gets to see someone he knows once in awhile...I think Brendan is coming home pretty soon though!
***Refers to the SPEEDING TICKET that Ryan got last month.......
