Hi Family!

It has been another great week here in Sapporo. And for a change, it actually cooled down a little bit (as I am sure you noticed on your iPods...and since when has Mom had an iPod?)

This week we got to meet with Doi san a couple times and he is progressing well! He is excited to get baptized (our goal is on the 19th), and now we just need permission from his parents. Hopefully we can get that this week so that he can get baptized.

We also found a couple new investigators and set baptismal dates with them. One of them is Mongolian, but he grew up in China and speaks Chinese. He is way cool and we have high hopes for him. But he works every Sunday, so we need to figure out how to overcome that little problem.

Yesterday the Daniels family came to church in Shinkotoni (which is also where we were), and so I got to translate. There were Sister Daniels, their youngest daughter, and one of their other daughters with her husband and two kids. I also played the piano for a bit, so I was sort of all of the place.

Sorry for a lack of details in this email, but it is hard to concentrate right now in the mission home. I love you all so much.       Elder Christensen
