ok there is one thing i would like you to try and find out please, JAckie Berkhimers address. If my phone still works you can text her, if not let me know and i can send my address to her quickly in myspace or facebook or something, but i would like to stay friends with her. ThAT SOUNDS LIKE A BLAST WITH THE FAMILY. THE COMPUTER IS MESSED UP SO ITS IN CAPS NOW SORRY, nevermind, fixed it.I wish i could have seen the curtis family, i miss them. Before telling me where Jake goes see if he will write me or email me please, i would like him to tell me. AS for the note, i did send you a copy of it, its in the box for you that i sent to kira right befefore leaving, kira has a copy for brock and yours is in the box that im guessing you still havent gotten. Let me know who you want to share it with, or who you do. You can share it with anyone and type it and do anything. Let the young men read it. For the most part me and my comp get along. He still has almost 2 months, so he really shouldnt be to trunk. I havent gotten a reply back from the girl that got baptised, but i will let you know when i do. Things arent happening, not teaching anyone, the one that was close to getting baptised that was beeing taought before i got there said it might be years before her husband lets her. so not so successful as of now. I havent gotten mail or email thats cool, i was actually thinking about kepper and joaquin the other day, it would be nice to hear from them. Im glad you like the poem. Im sending some pics and my memory card home with some oragami in it that i did, so be looking for that sometime in the next weeks
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

i still havent heard from anyone. I havent heard about her baptisｍ yet, but hopefull when she gets the letter i sent she wll reply.
Yea i would like the shirts as soon as possible, with at least a box or 2 of cereal Maybe some waffel crisp, or anything really. Its to hot to wear long sleeve shirts and i only have 3 short sleeve, so they get sweaty and dirty really fast. And yes im 15 1/2.
TELL people to email or something, i want to here things like that from jake. Thats really awsome though, he will do good wherever he goes.
So breggie is dong good in goal sounds like, thats great! and its good that she has friends on the team to stick up for her. Oh yea, for the Shirts send as many as you can please. The language is ok. I can barely communicate with anyone cause i cant understand what is being said. So i try to say something if i know whats going on, but most of the time its my comp haveing a conversation with me trying to catch whats happening. So ive come to realize that he is not the greatest acting missionary, by his language, hand gestures and songs he sings that we realy shouldnt be listening to. PLus he always wants to do housing everyday, and thats a failure here cause when we are out everyone works and has school.
Sports are really fun, especially soccer. i did a move on one of the kids tuesday and it made him fall on the floor, i also got the 3 other missionaries im with to agree to a compitition. The last person to score had to do the first person to scores dishes for a night. My comp has to do my dishes ha its awsome. We might make deals like that every week. But yea sports are fun, but ive gone from 75 kilos to 78 this past week. I need to excerise more and eat less.
Ok well there is a long line for the computers and im almost out of time, if i have time ill write a letter and send it off today or tomorrow.
LOVE YOU ALL ELDER\ PR COFFEYPS

yea jess has been sending me emails about that baby, which is awsome. I did think of stuff you can send me. the short sleeve shirts for sure, i think my neck is 15 1/2, and some cereal on granola and trail mix and american candy ha. Who all askes about me at church each week? seems like a lot of people do.
People here are usually really nice, there have been a few rude people but there will always be those kinds of people. the height of people here is like in USA its all different. i tower over some, some are the same height, and some are really tall. The people i play basketball with are like robbies size, they got really suprised when i jumped and touched the rim. it was funny. i guess im the first missionary to play with them that has done it. And the people i play soccer with are really good, tuesday a couple of them had manchester jerseys on and i had my england shirt, but next week im wearning my arsenal shirt ha. but the people that are in charge of each sport are bth non members, BUT the one for soccer, his whole family is and is in the ward, and the wife of the man in charge of b-ball wants to get baptised, but he wont let her, so we got permission to play and become friends and soften him up hopefully.
My comp is from Florida, elder evans is from utah and elder baldwin is from idaho. I did have to by a new bike, and the guy gave me a discount, it was 46,000 yen instead of 50,000 yen so 460 dollars instead of 500 pretty much. Next pday we might begoing to an electronic store so i can get an electronic didctionary, but no i havent goten one yet.
Yea i got a letter from the girl in oregon, i plan on staying in contact with her, ill either send off a letter today or tomorrow. Well last week on friday i think, we had a lesson set up with a lady that is close to baptism and we had the bishop meet us there to help us, butshe wasnt there. So the bishop took us to a less active ladies house to tlk to her, but i guess she has been seperated from her husband the past 3 months, so we talked to him instead. He isnt a member. But he likes us a lot. We met him for dinner and talked with him last night to get to know him/ Well i tried to do that ha. But we found out that his mother in law, well used to be i guess gave him a liahona to read, and he has been reading it, and he told us he wants to meet with us a lot. So saturday we are going to give him a tour of the church and have him watch the restoration movie. and talk to him about it. I have a good feeling about him, he seems like he will be great, except he smokes and i think drinks so thats something to work on if he wants to go farther. other than that not to much is happening, we have been working with the ward members trying to get refferrals and stuff, but there really isnt that many people here, so its sorta slow here. If they dont write me soon ill write them a fake hate mail ha. if they dont want to write tell them to email me.
tomorrow i think i get to go to the BYU wind symphany concert that is touring the world, or japan (not sure) right now, so im kinda excited for that. umm other than that, i think im getting a "dendo baby" dendo is japanese for mission. so i think im getting fatter, ive never beeen fed so much food from people in my life than i have the past 3 days. And that is for realz im not joking you
OK FAMILY! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! another week has blown by and another is comming, ant wait to read next weeks email
LOVE YOU Elder PR Coffey

Finally got an email - yea!!!
im not sure what the firsst part of the email is, but i have the one from brocks computer.
OK for the call, i have the phone number and the time, but i dont know the time difference or the numbers you need to call japan. So you will need to call me Saturday night about 9 My time, which is friday in USA and im not sure what time that is for you. My companion might answer in japanese so just say you need to talk to me, They are only giving us 45 minutes to talk though :(.
Yea when i had my first interview with the mission Pres he told me that they were very good
friends with them. thats awsome.
I did get the box which is awsome! thanks for the blanket and slippers and the tie from breggie. BUT i dont want you to send stuff if it will cosst that much, send smaller stuff and lighter stuff, i feel bad :/.
My flight was long and boring. I studied and read and studied and read. I got to eat salmon and chicken for my 2 meals. My companon is from Florida, his name is elder metts, i dont know if the mission home sent a picture or not. Im doing really good. the ward members are so nice here in my first area. So dad can stalk ill tell you. Its called Togane. Ive given 3 or 4 practice lessons to the members in japanese already, and most of them speak english so they help me a lot. I live in a tiny apartment about the same amount of space as my room and the bathroom combined, but 4 people living there. The food here is awsome. I had japanese curry which is a million times better then indain curry ha. i love it. i dont have much time our train comes soon.
I might send my memory card home the first couple weeks cause these are laptops at a library so i can hook up. But the church is 3 stories and is one of he tallest buidling in the city. And it takes about 30 minutes to get to a place we need to go on bike if we dont get stopped or slowed down. Ok well i need to go catcha train, Ill hopefully have more time next thursday cause i got fed and gave a practice lesson about prayer right before coming.
I love you all so much and cant wait to here from you on saturday my time friday your time.
