Elder Spencer sent me (Spencer3 the Elder) a letter answering some of my questions. I've decided to rewrite my questions to him and add his replies into a new post. So I'm going to pretend I'm Mormon and compile some of those records into a single concise record. My writing is in RED and his responses are in BLUE.
Well, hello my boy! (Konnichwa musuko1).
I hope that you are doing well and study Lots. It's fun to see you practicing your SYL2. Be careful with the auto correct in your emails. I don't think that it knows what to do with Japanese language. ;-)
Not sure if Mom told you or not but her friend Tracy was scrolling through Facebook and found one of her friends posting a photo of you at the airport. And then the other day your Aunt Jennifer tags me on Instagram in a comment on Swap Choro's mom’s photo. So just keep up the good work and stay out of trouble because I have eyes and ears everywhere. ;-)
What vocabulary are you working on? Are you taking notes at these things or just soaking in the spirit?
Most of this week I've been working on the prayer vocab and I'm trying to memorize verbs too.
We have devotional twice a week and I take note on my iPad during the Devotionals so I can read them later. The notes are also cloud saved to my iCloud account so I can get them when I switch iPads in the mission.
It's totally easy for me to sit and dictate an email to you using the voice translator on my phone. I wonder if you can do the same thing on your iPad?
I can dictate but I feel there were a ton of grammar errors that I missed so I typed it out this time.
You mentioned that you were preparing to teach a lesson in Japanese. So how did it go?
The hardest part of teaching the investigator is I don't know enough Japanese but other than that its going well. I do have a Japanese dictionary app on the iPad called Imiwa, It’s a wonderful name for a dictionary because it’s a Japanese phrase that means, “What’s that mean?”
Are you sharing any LightSticks with anyone?
I haven't had time to mess with the LightSticks much, but the photos don't turn out super great on my camera and my iPad doesn't have a flash.
Remember next Wednesday when you send us your email that you have a whole week's worth of communication to catch up on. So make it juicy and full of details. I love your face and look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks Dad. Two more things, one of the Elders in my district is Osmond Chōrō. His dad is Jimmy Osmond from the Osmond Brothers if you know them and check out this picture of Samurai Jesus!
