Kumamoto-shi: My First Area


So, my first area is Kumamoto-shi (Kumamoto City). Kumamoto (熊本市 Kumamoto-shi) is the capital city of Kumamoto Prefecture on the island of Kyūshū, Japan. Greater Kumamoto (ja:熊本都市圏) has a population of 1,460,000, as of the 2000 Census. It is never considered part of the Fukuoka-Kitakyushu metropolitan area despite both bordering each other.

Kumamoto-shi is home of pimpin' Castle Kaumamoto Castle (Kumamotojo). I haven't gone yet but I hear it is pretty boss. I ride past it on my bike so that's cool :D!

My Trainer/Companion is Elder Jansson, pretty much he's a black kid in a white person's body (hahaha), no, but he's pretty cool (he says that is not true). He is super cool and crazy good at Japanese so snap, ya! He is very helpful and we get along amazingly. He is from Orem, Utah, pretty far away!

Japanese is good. My area is pretty much like pimpin' like NYC, but more asian. . .
The work here is so great, our goal this transfer is 10 baptisms . . . good that we have 8 investigators and we already have dates for most of them. Hahaha, it's going to be great. I'll send pics of each of them.

The humidity is so boss, I love it!! its way cool!! (I'm sure he's joking - other than he doesn't have to wear his suit coat in the summer)My apartment is schweetttt!! Its very very Japanese lol . . . Ilike it!!!!
So basically I love it sooo much here. Already the church is growing here super ridiculously fast and its exciting stuff. I'm excited!

Anyways, I love you all tonnz I wrote a letter and I'm sending it. My new P-day is Mondays (Sunday in the States) and I think we only email every other week so yeah...--

I love you all any questions shoot em on over!
peace
