Another week down

I replied to matts email. Ok well this week was good, sunday was awsome because i got a really good point out of my lesson and zone conference. The Lord does things on His own time, and I havent been patient and waiting for Him to help me with the things im asking help for. Ok well as for the headache thing, i still have dizzyness a lot, so i went to the health clinic and the doctor said its (i cant remember the word exactly) Labrynthoma or somethin like it. But it deals with balance something with the inner ear. so he gave me medicine for it and if it doesnt go away this week then i go back in. Funny story after gym yesterday, the 4 people in my room including me went to take a shower, so we shut the door to our room and showered. I was the first done so i went to the door, guess what......LOCKED. so the 4 of us sat outside our door for about 30 minutes in just our towels while someone went to the office and got a key for us. Good times ha. As for me being the DL, my last day was saturday, But my companion got called as the new one, so it still feels like i am if that makes sense. (mostly cause he kinda does things at his pace so i rush him and things so we wont be late) But yea our room has the ZLs and the DL. Well i think this is awsome the ZLs are brazilian, they got to talk to the Brazilian Embassidor. I thought it was awsome that he even came here, but even more that they got to talk to him.

Well thats awsome now that you have the house to yourself for a bit. I hope you have fun. OK DAD listen to your wife! Go nap. The loudest one of your children is in DC for a week or 2 nows your chance. Take mom with you. get a movie go back in your room with her and fall asleep. PLEASE!. Yea lucky you, good weather. It snowed here sunday and sunday night. So ill be lucky if the field opens after conference now. :( Oh well the person that i met at the call center is actually a girl, i talked with her last monday. tuesday for 4 hours, yesterday and again today in a couple minutes. Its going good. I enjoy answering all the questions and helping her to understand. I did send her a book of mormon actually and things are going good. I dont know what else to write so if i fogot anything let me know

LOVE YOU ELDER PR COFFEY

Week 6

Yes Time really is flying by, FAST. My email will be short as well, because last night at the RC i got someone on a chat who i was answering his questions and he only wants me to talk with him, so im waiting to see if he gets on like he said he wanted to. Some things i would like in the box also are 2 pocket knives, the 2 with brown handles please, also can Some more Pilot G-s pens please. Ok things that i need info about, my passport, do you know where it is and the Mission President in Tokyo sent me a letter about family info, and i think I know everyones age, but can you tell me kira brock and breggies age so to make sure please. Thank you so much for the trail mix i love it! its delicious. And thank you for sending the newspaper, ill probably send it back though just cause i dont want it ruined. I dont know if i told you or not but my weekly service project every friday is to unload and stock the food for the cafeteria. THATS A LOT OF FOOD!. Mom i think i got your traight of Migrains. Yesterday(Monday) I woke up super dizzzy and couldnt even stand. Which caused a bad headache. I was like that off and on all day and i fell over a couple times :(. And this morning i woke up the same, but i just have a bad headache. Its getting better though.Well one good thing about yesterday is that i have an investigator who got on the Mormon.org web site and started a chat and i got to talk to him and he want s to learn more. Well today might be my last day as district leader. THey switch about half way through, But we only have 3 people who could be it cause the 2 brazilians in the room with me and my comp. got called to ZONE LEADER, but that means i might stay being district leader MAYBE. So dads cousin or the guy that was down for the wedding never found me like he said he was going to. OHHHHH and i got to see the last session of the Draper Temple dedication. IT WAS AMAZING!!I loved it so much, and even though i was watching it off the projector i could stilll feel the spirit. It was great.

Ok well i gotta go
LOVE YOU

Week 5

Hey mom and dad and breggie. Im going to write a letter today to and send it either today or tomorrow. It will mainly be for Mom and one for grandpa this week. This past beek had its ups and downs for me, and probably like you. Japanese just isnt sticking in my head when i learn it, and i dont have enough hours or time to study more then i do. Um sunday was good for me, better then last week, at the fireside one of the songs we sang was "We'll Bring the World His Truth" i loved that song so much before coming on a mission, and now singing it as a missionary it has changed so much and the words mean so much more to me, ha to tell you the truth i started crying while singing it. Um Oh yesterday in our Large Group Meeting, which wasnt very large cause all the senpai or older japan missionaries left monday morning. But there was something there that stuck out to me a lot that i would like to share with all thoughs who read this. I think he said this is a quote from Pres. Monson it says " pray as if everything depends on the Lord, and work as if everything depends on yourself." this kinda helped me to get even more focused and realize that this time isnt for me, these next 2 years are for the Lord and what ever he wants me to do. MY life is the Lords the next 2 years.Ill be sending the shirt plans and info with the letters to you, so ill send them tomorrow, cause i still need to finish writing them tonight. Im Glad grandpa is doing good, i did put his name on the prayer list at the temple, and the next day you sent me something saying he is doing better. I dont have much time today cause we have assigned times to go to the temple now so it wont be so hecktic and i need to leave in like 3 minutes. For the box, thin mints and ties are all i can think of right now, ill write more in the letters tonight if i can think of anything.

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!

Love Elder PR Coffey (only 23 months)

Week 4

So before I forget the speaker last Tuesday was Yoshihiko Kikuchi from the quorum of the 70. He is from japan and he had a lot of really awsome things to say. One thing that stood out the most is that when ever we share any messsage about the gospel is that we should never play like a drummer.

Um i feel really bad asking you to get all this stuff for me, and me not being able to do anything back. Well i have remembered a few things, My BofM that president packer gave me that had the color code on the inside cover, Some more of my ties, Brocks adress so i can send him stuff, super glue and Shoe shine kit. Oh also can you let me know how much money is on my cards please.

Ok well sunday was a little rough for me in the middle of the day, i started crying randomly for about 15 minutes, but i realized ive never been away from you all for so long, and i miss you all soo much, but during sac. meeting i read my p blessing which helped me a lot, and i prayed for comfort and i got it almost immediatly.

I am very suprised to hear helix got that far, but that is so awsome. im glad that they got farther this year (kinda).

Finally someone bought it, who was it? Ok well hopefully i can put that money into a car of my own when i get back, and i am so glad to hear that breggie has done a 180 from devil to angel ;) jk she never really was that bad.This time has been flying by which seems kinda nice to me for some reason, i am already wanting to get out of the MTC, i feel caged in. Its snowed the passed 2 days, so the chances of me playing soccer are even worse now.

OH can you look in the packet that i got with my mission call to see where my letters and packages will go to in Tokyo, i think its to the mission home there, but let me know what the adress is please. Im glad you got the pictures and yes i do get the dear elders. PLease let Brother John Price know thanks for the letter, since he didnt put a return address on.

Im out of time so i have to go

AI SHITTE IMASU (ILOVE YOU)

Week 3

Breggie you arent allowed in my room remember ha jk. well good job on making all stars. your great. Just tell everyone to grow up and be goalie next time if they start complaining.. THats great and really suprising for helix. Let Kepper know how im doing, and ask him if he can make copies of the games that im missing so i can watch them (eventually) please. You can make me anything you want to, just make sure there arent a lot of chocolate chips in them. The language is coming ok, im still working hard, they just try to cram so much info in such a short time that its hard to take it all in. The MTC is like church and seminary, but 24/7.
Mom and Dad, thats awsome that you have all 4 stores now, hoping papa popo is keeping busy then haha. OOOOHH i love girl scout cookies, um LOTS (and i mean lots) of thin mints, and maybe some short bread cookies. HAve breggie tell me why she wants to go on a mission in the next email, or in a letter, or dear elder thing. And thats awsome she is thinking that she wants to already. Um today and yesterday its been cloudy and hazey and kinda windy. but other then that the weather here has been great. Jessica sent me a dear elder, she told me the name of the baby, and she said the middle name is Robert cause of me and her grandpa, i thought that was awsome. Socks, i really only need more church socks, but eventually ill need more of my reagular ankle socks, cause lots of the ones i have have holes in them. um either Actual sweat pants, or the ones i have at home, either one will be great. So this sunday wasnt as good as last one, but i forgot to tell you that Elder Ballard came to our Tuesday night devo. last week, so im excited to see who comes tonight.. P day we still can only do the things ive said unfortuantly, so its not really anything special yet. THe japanese is coming alright, I just wish it could be easier and it is easier for me to understand how to speak and when people speak. Dont be afraid to send Dear Elders, and let other people have my address and know about Dear Elder. Oh and mom the oil vial, i forgot what the new one looked lilke, but the old one had angel moroni on it i think and the inside glass vial broke.

I also sent some pictures home today, so hopefully by thursday or friday youll get them, and ill do my best sending some home on a regular basis.

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!
