July 28, 2008
Hi mom, This week was great. We have been doing a lot trying to improve ways to find people to teach and so far it has been doing pretty well. We teach more and more, things are changing here it is so great. And you know what else, I actually talk to people it is way cool, ya and it is in Japanese. Oh guess what, I tried raw fish again, and I liked it. It was tuna and it was good. I am so weird. I thought you might like to know that. This week went by so fast. this transfer is already half way over. most likely will have a new comp in like 3 weeks or so. Things are going way fast. It is just so crazy. Well, anyway other than that things are great. Just got a lot of work to do here and hardly anytime to do it in. Well, sorry to make this short, but we are going to go and eat some octopus right now, it will be interesting.I love you and miss you all. Love Elder Lane Ashmore
