Day left for Japan
There will not be an email from Elder Coffey today because he left the MTC in Provo, Utah for Toyko Japan. We were able to talk to him from the airport this morning. He had a delay in Salt Lake so he called us early. He sounded really good. He was excited yet a little nervous. He is thankful for all the support, letters and emails he as received from everyone. Learning the language has been a challenge for him, but he has had some great experiences in the MTC such as meeting someone at the referral center and helping her prepare to be baptized in May and the many talks from the Apostles. We know he will be a great missionary and will need you continued prayers and support. Thank you all very much and we hope to have emails going again soon.

Hey mom and dad. Thats funny about shadow. I think he just misses me playing with him. So make sure that happens. Eveverone loved the shirts, they are great. The weather here is perfect. its warm but not hot. And its happening right when im about to leave.
Oh my investigator has a baptismal date set for may 16. I got so excited when she told me that. She said she is going to write me while im in japan so i can continue to help her. One week from today and im heading to japan! It is exciting and im kinda nervour about it.
I have gotten all the boxes you have sent thank you so much. It all is amazing. Um there is a couple things that i will need ASAP i need to get $100 cash for the plane rides, and i need that ASAP so let me know if i have enouogh in my account, then the money for the Bike will have to be in my account by the time i get there, also $150 for the electronic dictionary that the Mission home will be selling. I dont need the dictionary its just a helpful tool. But i NEED the $100 dollars and bike money in my account soon.
So sunday i ran into williams, the people that stayed at our house for the wedding. Finally. It wasnt long cause he had to go to priesthood. But yea i finally saw him. I will be sending a box of stuff that i dont think i will need or be using so i can save room. So let kira know ill send it to her and from her you can get it. There is some things in there for the family. like a japanese primamry song book. Um i should have asked before doing this but, i have been trading ties with some missionaries, so i hope thats ok with you, somepeople said their moms would get mad if they traded. but i was just letting you know i did. Ill make up for the ones i traded at the japanese dollar store.
Ok as for me going to BYU, yes i do want to go there, so whatever i need to do to help fill out application, let me know. And let me know things that i will need to do for a soccer scholarship or something like that. Cause thats the main thing is getting on the team and going to BYU.OK well im not sure what else there is to say right now. Your next email from me will come from JApan. OH i remember, can you check to see if jack garrett chase and marrissa and jason and i forgot who else, but see if they got the letters i sent them. I havent gotten anything back from them yet.

That's my drawing, i was expecting it to actually be from someone else. Do you think you would be able to send me more copies before i go please? Ive got a couple things to ask about before i actually start the details. When you are done with the english ensign with all the talks can you send it to me please, so i can have those powerful talks with me throughout my mission, also I LOVE THE PHOTO ALBUM! that was such a great suprise it made me so happy, i got it the day after that stuff happened, but i can get some pictures of the dogs please, i miss them especially mine ha.
So my investigator has been doing great, i talked to her yesterday and she told me she named her turtle after me, kinda weird but really awsome as well. So i want to know what are you and Dad thinking about moving, cause some of my friends and I are wanting to have some kind of idea of doing something kinda like brock, BUT not so messed up ha. OK THIS IS IMPORTANT youll have to send me deoderant a lot while im there. Because of the humitity everyone sweats like crazy in Japan, and japanese dont smell bad, so they dont have good deoderant ha so ill need that a lot, maybe a boxfull that will last the whole mission ha jk.
Things are going a lot better then last week. Sunday was like a normal sunday here, not anything really special. But i did get your package before easter and i loved all of it so much thank you! I have been saying some pretty crazy prayers lately, and they really have been getting answered. Since last tuesday happened i can actually feel it stronger and am able to realize it. One exapmle is that i prayed that i could feel the influence of the Holy Ghost stronger and the day after i asked for that i heard a voice in my head tell me to read the ensign that i had at the time. So i opened from where i left off and the story or talk was about our heritage and that we come from god and we are his sons and daughters, so after last week that was really a great experiance. And more have happened since then. Thats really asome about second wards youth thing. How did chase, jack and garrette do? Garrette is very right but even if its tough and we break down sometimes Te Lord is still there. Yea yesterday was the best day by far here, and today its pouring, kinda sucks. I dont think there will be any soccer til im in Japan.
I cant wait to get the Shirts we are all so excited for them. ONE of the elders is going to australia now, but he still wants his shirt. My distric has slowly dwindled from 12 to 9 its kinda sad. My investigator has been doing great! she has been meeting with the missionaries there in oregan. She watched all of conference, she went to church on easter sunday, And she is thinking about being baptised but she has some concerns that im trying to help her with. Like i told you she named her new turtle after me, because i have changed her life so much..I havent heard from Kira for a while so let her know i love her and miss her a lot anf thank her for the packages she has sent, I really love the shirt she sent me to.
OK I LOVE YOU MOM & DAD& BREGGIE

Another week
I didnt get to print this so sorry if i forget things. Well i got drawings from blake ryan and jacob and the new girl in the class from primary, i thought that was awsome, it made me really happy. Yea she told me that they moved, they live out in santee now. Im glad you liked the birthday present. What did you do with the rest of the stuff i sent in the box?
Conference was SOOOO AMAZING! This has been my favorite by far. There were a couple talks that stood out to me so much, like Elder Hollands on Sunday about Christ's atonement and how he was pretty much alone in His journey, then President Uchtdorf and Eyring in priesthod session was AWSOME!. I love listen to Uchtdorf he is my favorite i could listen to things he says for a long time. But i think that President Eyrings talks had the biggest affects on me this conference, especially the priesthood session.
Thats ok about the Dear elders, i dont expect them everyday. Your busy and have a life and things get in the way. I understand. Im just happy you send some a couple time through out the week. Some people here dont get any mail for a couple weeks at a time and i feel kinda sorry for them. Do you think you can get me the Picou's address so i can talk to justin please. I go t a box from Dad's cousins yesterday full of homemade goodies. I dont have their address even though we stayed at their house, so can you let them know i appreciate it very much! People keep asking me how i dont get fat from all the cookies and candy that i get from people. I just answer and say IM AWSOME. ha.
Ok well i had a scary experience, thursday last week when we went to do the teaching that we do each week, my teacher decided to suprise us and say we are switching companions. So me and i got paired with one of the brazilians only had 30 minutes to prepare together before teaching in japanese. It didnt go so good, the best part was singing im a child of God in Japanese. That worked only cause we were teaching about our lives on earth and why we are here and where we started from.
LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
