I'm emailing you again

Konnichi wa kazoku to tomodachi,

I still love it here at the MTC. Its pretty cool. I feel like I've been here forever but I also feel like I just got here. I'm excited for a routine. Nothing has been routine yet but my next ten weeks will be just like this one so I'll get used to it. The Spirit is everywhere. I love it.

The food was good for the first few days. Now I don't like it so much. It makes me hurt inside every time I'm done eating. And it doesn't all taste awesome. Its not good. I might die from some weird food thing. So I'll just say goodbye now. I love you all.

We've been teaching a guy in Japanese this week. That's very hard. I don't know how to say anything. But I've felt the Spirit in our meetings with him. I can pray and share testimony pretty good. That's about it. Elder Eliason is better at Japanese so he has done most of the talking but this next time I'll take about half hopefully. We'll see.

I'm going to be singing in the choir. That will be fun. We will sing at MTC meetings and devotionals. I'm excited. We had a nice song on Tuesday night. I have also been asked to play a song on the cello on a week from sunday. That should be pretty good.

I haven't had any texting withdrawals. Just so everyone knows. I've been fine. I hope no one is offended by this next part. The thing I have missed the most is my nice and wonderful and amazing and comfortable toilet paper. Send me Tang. I can use it. And send me my toilet paper. I can't live without it. Life is miserable without it.

So I figured out that the Spirit is absolutely necessary for life here. When its gone I just don't like doing anything I am supposed to be doing. Its too much to do all this stuff all day long and still feel like you need more time to get it done. So I've learned that keeping the spirit is pretty important. I've really been working on doing that so most of my time here has been really awesome.

Elder Eliason and I have been teaching each other for practice and I've been feeling the spirit in a new way. A way that I have never experienced before. It's pretty cool. I think I'm going to really enjoy teaching people. Once I can actually speak Japanese. I'm making progress in the language. Faster than I thought I would. But not as fast as I really want. But whatever. They keep saying that the language is not the first priority and we only have two hours a day to do language study. So I'll be fine eventually.

Elder Eliason is just like Jeff Stephens. The more I get to know him the more he is like Jeff. He's pretty cool. And good looking. It was freaking me out how he was just like Jeff but now I'm used to it. Multiple times a day he will do things that are exactly something Jeff would do. It's really weird. I like him. That's a really good thing. I was afraid of having a companion I didn't like so much. But he's cool. All of the Elders and Sisters in my district are cool. I love them all.

I was in the temple this morning and when we were sitting in the celestial room I was looking around at all the Elders there and I just felt a great love for all of them and I felt the spirit telling me that we are all called by God to go preach the gospel. I just love everyone here. And I know we are all supposed to be here to go teach our Father's children.

Well I need to get going. Have a good time at home. Be happy. You have the gospel and that is the greatest blessing. Aishiteimasu.

Love Josh Liddle Choro.

Send me the toilet paper and Tang. I can't function without it.

  1. Liddle Choro doesn't understand the meaning of roughing it until he's forced to endure some of the cheaper brands of toilet paper the Army has used.

  2. And tang? Really. He needs to buck it up. You apparently didn't teach him how to rough it. :D
