Week 4  ok. Week 4. wow an hour and a half goes by soo fast!                                                                                                                       So. this week. We had hardly any lessons. So that was discouraging. And when we do have a lesson I can't understand anything haha. But..... oh well :) I just try to be a happy missionary anyways. Also, I think I might have mentioned it last time. But our only investigator with a baptismal date is probably going to stop :( it makes us so sad! So pray that her desire to know that this is the true church will increase please!!                                                              Ok. I don't have tons of time. But I will try and recap as best I can.    Some things about Japan: They have these things called "kanbinis." They're pretty cool. they're basically just convenience stores but they have THE yummiest things. Like cream puffs, and ice cream treats, and to go meals. They're the best. (oh and corn dogs... haha they call them "american dogs") they have fries too!! woohoo so I can get my fix of potatoes.            They also have "hyaku yen" stores. Which are basically like dollar stores but they kick american dollar stores butts. haha (can i say that??) anywho. They have tons of stuff. And it's all fairly nice too (dad would go crazy I just know it).                 AND. They have tons of ice cream!! woo hoo :) my FAVORITE. Their Baskin Robbins is way good. And they have lots of different kinds of ice cream treats I've never had before. That's probably my favorite thing I have tried so far.              Another thing that's really common here is called a "kono myaki." It's basically like a pancake with cabbage in it. And then you can put whatever else you want in it. Like noodle/ pork and then they top it with this sauce and mayo (and seaweed flakes....not as bad as they sound). It's actually pretty good. Although, I will admit I can't have too much in one sitting.So my stomach is still adjusting to Japanese cuisine. But so far I have been pleasantly surprised!                                             The work:                   Sometimes it can get really discouraging when no one is interested. And no one will meet with us. But really, everyone has interest! They have all heard these truths before. Because that is exactly what they are. Universal laws. That no one can change and that even God abides by and He (knowing these laws and us through and through) has shown us the way that we should obey them so that we can be happy and progress. But it's difficult to get that across in an everyday setting in Japanese. That's what the spirit is for! and I will keep trying. However, realizing this has also made me realize how crucial HUMILITY is. Wow. I have a long ways to go. But when someone is really truly humble, their will in a way ceases to exist and it just becomes God's will. Because they realize they can't do it on their own. They need HIs help and in order to be able to really have His help all the time they have to obey His commandments. I've really realized that this week. There is no way I can do this by myself. I can only do this by "relying on the merits" of God's love and Christ's atonement. I often have to be humbled to remember to do that though!                 Anywho. I am REALLY grateful that the majority of the Japanese people are willing to stop and talk to us. I have had the opportunity to testify to lots of people, even if they decline our invitations. They really are so sweet, and I often think I need their help more than they need mine! Last night we talked to this lady sitting on a bench at a park. She was the mother of two and one of THE nicest people I think I have ever talked to. She was really open and would explain things in both languages since she could tell I couldn't understand. She doesn't live in our area and she said she is really busy. But I  hope that somehow the gospel will become part of her life!                                                                                       Miracle of the week- I have been praying for lots of things. And this week God really answered all of my prayers. I have been praying especially that I can be brave and "open my mouth" and that we would be led to prepared people. Two experiences: One night we were finishing "streeting" (stopping people on the street) and we both felt impressed to talk to a particular lady. She was eight months pregnant, and is actually a member. Turns out she hasn't gone to church since she was 14. And her mom is an active member in another area. We got her phone number. So we'll see where that leads! Experience number two: I tried talking to this lady on the train and she turned me down. But a girl across the aisle kept looking at me and my badge. As we were getting off the train I started a conversation with her. And we didn't even have an opportunity to talk about the gospel but she agreed to meet again!! (This week). So we will see where that goes too!                                                                                 Love you all. I am SO SO grateful that I have such wonderful, strong family and friends.                                                                  Thanks everyone...... "big kiss. little hug. big hug. little kiss                                                                                                               Sister Haderlie  PS ( it's insanely hot over here. can't wait for fall!!!)

Week 3 in the Field:I am going to be a PRO typer by the end of this 18th month mission (even if I can't speak Japanese or haven't baptized anyone ;) ....I always think that 90 minutes it's going to be PLENTY of time and then I always end up typing like mad down to the last second.

 So a quick update on this week!

 Some HARD days. Lots of people have rejected us, we can't get ahold of the people who were willing to give us their numbers, our most progressed investigator is going to take a "break" from lessons, I still can't speak Japanese and Sister Nakamura still can't speak English, I am still way scared to open my mouth, and 6:30 in the morning is still always a rough couple of minutes for me (no "it's morning time!" coming out of my mouth yet).

 SO why in the world would I keep mission-ing (ha they actually have a verb for that in Japanese) ? Where is God in all of this?? I have caught myself asking myself that quite a bit. And realized just how much my faith needs strengthening this week.....But I have come to the feeling that God is in the heart of each and every person that I see. That's where He is and in EVERYTHING. I can't believe how easy it is for me to forget that. Thanks heavens for wonderful family, friends, and new mission friends that remind me of this. I don't know why God does everything that He does (and why should I?? He know everything and I am seeing the tiniest speck) but I am trying to remember everyday that I should put my full confidence in Him even when it is scary or it doesn't make sense. I think this is why faith is SO important because it is ONLY by faith that we show that WE choose to walk towards Him- we exercise our agency and choose right, we choose His side. As a result, we progress ourselves and He gives us more light to confirm that faith. It's genius. And I am not. And that is why I don't understand everything....yet.

 I do not "like" everything about my mission so far but I am realizing what an opportunity it is to grow and am very grateful to Him for the opportunity.

 Shoot. I am almost out of time..... Anywho. A quick update on EVENTS-

 1- First rain STORM. Nakamura and I got caught far away from the train station walking when it started "raining cats and dogs" (haha taught Sis. Nakamura that) I was SOAKED. We stopped and the rain was super loud, knocked on this random lady's door and asked for a couple umbrellas. Thank heavens the Japanese people are so nice. We got a couple umbrellas. I was still super wet though. It was quite the experience

2- Sundays. I am AMAZED that everything can be so different here but that Sundays are just the same. Ha... 

(there are screaming kids, tired parents, people walking in late, smiling faces, spiritual talks). Love it! One thing that IS different though is that people stay way after church and visit with one another in groups. It's the cutest thing. The other day there were 3 super old Japanese ladies visiting in the kitchen & I found myself thinking- I think this is what the millenium is going to be like.... a bunch of happy people visiting and taking care of each other. I am excited for that!!

3) We had a "phillipino party" we have quite a few Phillipino's in our ward. And they are a party all by themselves. We had good food and they did karaoke (we didn't participate of course) but it was quite entertaining.

 Anywho, another week full of new experiences, struggles, and growing!

 Love you all. Thanks for the prayers. Keep them coming (and please pray that we can find people ready to hear and accept the gospel!)

 LOVE you. LOVE the gospel.

 SIster Haderlie

Phillipino party!!

Week 2 in the Field: Ok. I made myself write everyone else before I wrote my weekly email. So..... I have basically no time and in order to send pics this will be a short one! But this week has had some ups and downs. DOWNS- - Feeling like I am not making a difference. LOTS of people don't have interest (plus I can't really speak their language ha) so sometimes I feel like my efforts are wasted. BUT I know God is grateful that I am trying. - The schedule. Every time I wake up in the morning I automatically think of the next opportunity I will have to sleep. It's rough. ha I want to sleep in so bad. - The language. I want to talk to people (including my companion) but I CAN'T.....ha I feel so dumb sometimes. Dogs and 4 year olds can speak better than me. - Really feeling responsible for sharing the truth with people. Why me? I sometimes wonder... I don't want to bug people. "Finding" (AKA awkwardly running after people on the street or talking to them on the train about things that they think are so weird in broken Japanese) is SO hard. and is super scary to me. I just want to hide in my apartment all day haha. I want so bad to be able to transmit how IMPORTANT this could be for them. This isn't just some other or weird religion, this is the reason you are on Earth......This is why you have trials.....This is what's important... This is what will really actually make you happy in the end. I Just want to yell it at them. Not really... ha but I wish so badly there was some way I just could instantaneously make them feel it. And then when they reject it... it really tests my own faith too. I think.... "Heavenly Father if this is so important why is no one listening?" But I feel peace from time to time and I don't know everything but somehow I feel that I am trying....and that's enough. UPS- - so. since finding is SO scary too me we made this goal to hand out 10 book of Mormons one evening. We wrote our favorite scripture on a piece of paper (I wrote Alma 5: 7, 12) I believe haha. My brain's full... and then we got to work. Lots of people ignored us or walked away but we got a couple people to listen. And I was actually able to testify in Japanese. WOO HOO and some people actually listened. I don't know if anything will come of it...but by the end we gave out all ten!! It really was kind of a miracle. It's way difficult here to get people to see how this will have any relevance to their life. But trying to get better and making them see that it does. Anywho we even gave one out at dinner (at THE cutest pancake place by the way...ha I am a big fan). Everyone we talked to was so different. It was an interesting, fun experience. The Japanese people just really love life and most are really nice. So... I am starting to love them even more than I already did). - We had zone conference. Fun to see Sister Barrett and Sister Wilson (I think that was her last name) the other two sisters that are brand new like me... good to know I am not the only one feeling a little inadequate and overwhelmed. But happy too... I should be SO frantic inside all the time. But usually I am pretty peaceful..... I just have the desire to be better at actually helping others come to Christ (not just trying to improve myself). Moment of the week: Sister Nakamura (heavy accent)- " Ok. Let's Throw up!" Me: "What??" .... then a laugh, "Haha.... you mean follow up?" Oh man. Language differences, They're fun. Miracle of the week: We found two different male investigators to reffer to the elders! Sorry it's so short and scattered!! Love you all. Have a good week. Sister Haderlie PS ( another up. I am really loving the B of M lately.... it hasn't ever been so interesting to me! These are real people that had similar struggles and experiences- as far as faith and that sort of thing goes....pretty cool!) at the pancake place in the park

Right before they left the MTC. Her district & teachers.

Just got to Japan. Looking a bit wilted.

 Week 1 in the Field:

Let's restart the week count shall we? Holy smokes,  do I have SO much to write. I thought an extra 30 minutes of email time in the field would be enough but it might not be!! haha ......There's a lot more to write when you don't do basically the same thing every week.

 

I am IN JAPAN. Toto, we are definitely NOT in Kansas anymore. :)

 

Some things unique to Japan: 1-Characters everywhere. Ugh... I miss the American alphabet :( ....especially when it comes to reading nutrition labels. I have no clue what I am eating most of the time haha.

2- Stickiness. Why in the world did I have to arrive in Japan in August???? The moment we walk out of the door I am wet and sticky and even once we get home cuz it takes at least 20 minutes to cool our apartment off. Ya the heat has gotten old real quick.

3- Crowded. Ok, this is probably just unique to Japanese cities. But most of the streets are tiny and our apartment is pretty tiny as well. And the train station is pretty crazy. People everywhere. Scratch that. Asians everywhere haha. Seeing an American/ Non Asian is rare.

 

Anywho... let me update you on the course of events.

 

Monday Morning. We escaped the MTC; woo hoo!! But wait... only to lug our 140 lbs of luggage onto the TRAX in 90 degree weather and then switch trains and then all through the airport. One of my bags was 51 #,  but they let it go. WOO! I got to take my hair product with me (thank heavens :). .... Anywho, we all called home and then caught our first plane. About an hour long flight to LA. I sat next to another sister and a Nice Phillipino lady (very "fabulous" long hair and wedge heels and manicured nails) she was super nice!! and we talked to her for a long time. The sister next to me mustered up the courage to give her a Book of Mormon. I admired her courage. I only piped into the conversation sometimes because I was on the outside.

 

We then transferred planes (only had about 20 minutes) so grabbed a quick sandwich (and got lots of strange looks haha) .... Said goodbye to normal American food :( ......:( Talked to some people for a minute or two and then on the plane we went. I sat next to two missionaries this time. I was on the end again. There was a lot of sleeping. Some talking. Some studying. But Mostly watching the plane slowly move from America to Japan on the screens in front of us. :( I didn't get a window seat so I didn't really get to see us fly in. So it was actually fairly anticlimatic ha.  

 

Bam. It became Tuesday Night (thanks to the time change). And we found ourselves in Japan. We then stepped off the plane and .....drumroll. Wetness. It feels like I'm at the aquatic center all the time ha. We caught a bus, went through customs, and then were met by the President, his wife and the AP's. EVERYONE was tired and looked pretty sweaty and exhausted haha. All 34 of us plus those greeting us. We were quite the sight. We jumped on a bus (and filled out lots of forms) and ate some sushi. Mmh.. that was interesting. Then the girls got to stay in the mission home. The girls in my district were the first inside so we got to stay in the "GAuthority" room...Me and Sister Day got to sleep in the bed. And apparently Elder Nelson visited not too long ago so.....if you connect the dots ;) We slept in a holy bed. All of us were talking and organizing and showering for a long time so we didn't get much sleep.

 

Wednesday. Training. All day. By about 4 o clock we were all feeling the jet lag. And that night we got to play a game with the English class students. That was pretty funny. Ha Japanese people are just really funny. Anywho, I saw a Japanese girl walking around and decided to talk to her. I asked her if she wanted to practice her English and so we talked for a bit. I then noticed she was actually a sister missionary.. Sister Nakamura. The next day she became my COMPANION. haha.....So yep. My area is the "number one" area on the map I left at home. Called Nakano area in the Tokyo Stake so I live like 5 minutes away from the mission home and the office. Which has been really fun and both of those are right next to the church.

 

I just realized how much time I have left so I really have to hurry......

 

Anywho. Sister Barret is in area number 2 (which is the most "city" area). So I will get to see her at some zone meetings. But my area: SO....its pretty "city". But not like skyscraper city. And my ward has quite a few people that speak English! That is super nice. But...

 

Thursday. More training; then at noon we all were told our companions and areas. It was crazy. We all took a picture and then off we went. Since I was already in my area we just walked to our apartment. It was kind of weird. The first day is a blur. I think she just introduced me to a few things. The jet lag hits me pretty hard sometimes. And between Japanese, the heat, and the Jet lag,  sometimes I get really dizzy and have to sit down for a minute haha. Other than that I have been doing well health wise :)

 

Friday. We had a lunch appointment with a brand new investigator. Her name is "Lily san" (names are kind of weird here ha) and she is actually Chinese but can speak Japanese. Her apartment was really nice and cool. So that I liked. But I bet you can guess what kind of food we ate. Asian. And I bet you can guess how much I understood. Not very much. haha Plus. Something about being a missionary makes people want to give you like 5 pounds of food to eat every time you come over. If you ever have missionaries over please tell them they can stop eating when they're full!! They'll appreciate it , I promise :) ....ha anywho, I did my best to eat it. There were dumplings; those aren't too bad. But the other stuff was...well anyways. I was glad when she started cleaning up ha. She is kind of older- maybe 40's. Her husband passed away and now she has a boyfriend in Australia and is moving there so we don't have much time to teach her. We shared some favorites scriptures from the BoM (I shared Alma 26:12), then we taught her how to pray, gave her a Restoration pamphlet, and asked her to read and pray everyday. We asked her to give a closing prayer and she didn't even close her eyes or fold her arms haha. It's kind of amazing how many people don't even know how/ haven't prayed. We're lucky to know how to. 

 

Apparently there is a holiday this week. I can't pronounce it or remember what it's called. But everyone is going places or has to work so we probably won't meet with most of our investigators.

 

Saturday. We visited a less active. Named Rochelle. I loved it! We took the train for the first time. Kind of a crazy experience. So a little background on Rochelle.... her mom "Baby Shimai" is in our ward.  They are both Phillipino. Which is SO fun. They speak English and Japanese. Woo! And feed us yummy food like creme puffs and pasta. So I am not opposed to visiting her. Plus I actually get to teach. We talked about God's love and I testified about the miracle we experienced in our family. I actually don't think I have told you this. But one night when I was a sophomore in high school, I was really worn out from the divorce, and my long  busy days. I was exhausted; and I broke down. I asked Heavenly Father for strength cuz I didn't think I could do it any more and that somehow He would help my family. I heard "It will be ok." But I didn't understand how it could since I was the only very active one. Then you all got remarried :) I told her I know God loves everyone and all He asks is for us to be obedient. And then when we keep on enduring and obeying,  He blesses us and we see miracles happen in our life. She married a nonmember Japanese man so I think that might be why it is hard for her to come to church. But Baby Shimai is active and had a lot of "mission fire" so she is helping us!

 

Sunday. CHURCH :) I love Sundays. But that day the Jet Lag hit me hardest ( I may or may not have nodded off in relief society ha woops.....) Anywho. It was a fun experience. and Everyone is really nice. I just hope I can feel better next time!

 

Some additional:

 

- I will try and send pics, I didn't really take too many ( I feel really unattractive here, always sweating and frizzy hair.... but I will try and make myself. Really coveting Danielle's naturally straight hair right now ha).

 

- My Comp. Japanese, doesn't speak much English. That's been a challenge but we get by. Sister Nakamura. There is an "I'm a Mormon" video about her mom actually. Go to mormon.org and type in Nakamura. She has two sisters. She had cancer when she was younger and is the youngest girl. She looks like Mulan haha.

 

- Bro. and Sister Harris. My new grandparents. Sister Harris reminds me tons of Gram Linda. SO sweet!! They are from Utah and are the Mission secretary/ financial adviser. We get to stop in every day at the office and see them and hang out with them a bit on P Day. LOVE them! I will try to get a pic.

 

- Baby Shimai. She is Grammy Monna to a T, but the Phillipino version. haha.... Short hair, olive skin, and white straight teeth. And same mannerisms too. It's trippy. haha her Phillipino accent is so cute. I will also try to get a pic with her. So it's fun to have some fill-in grandmas here :) So grandma. Get some of that mission fire and get the family to meet with the missionaries ;)

 

Love you all!! Don't have tons of time left. But hopefully I filled you in enough.

 

Pray for all the missionaries and their investigators please.

 

Sister Haderlie

 

PS ( Our most progressed investigator was sick on Sunday so I haven't met her yet but her name is Ou san and we are trying to set a baptismal date with her and will let you know more about her next time...love ya!)    

soooo....I know it says posted by Chloe Haderlie @ the bottom of the posts, but it's really me, her mom; & I don't know how to change it!! I really don't even know why that last post scrolls. (the others didn't). ://

July 27th: "Konichiwa...........can you say I am a veteran of the MTC ha cuz it wouldn't be lie. We know where the least crowded bathrooms are, what food's where in the cafeteria, what order to do what on P day, where nearly Everything is. I could run this place ;) haha just kidding. But you know what's even crazier than me being a veteran here at the good ol' Provo MTC? that I am soon going to once again become a baby in the TOKYO JAPAN mission field. What?? I'm going to Japan....for 8 months I've been told I'm going to Japan and now it's actually going to happen. So.....on that note-   1). WE GOT TRAVEL PLANS. People actually leave the MTC. People actually fly on airplanes. People actually teach real investigators (in a foreign language!) ha so "kokoba" (crazy). We receieved them yesterday (friday) afternoon. That was an exciting moment.   2) I would like to tell you a little about one of the hardest days I had at the MTC that I failed to mention earlier.....so someone around here at the MTC (probably the same person who invented calculus or created Japanese) started this trend of "english fasts" AKA an "ego danjiki" ....and my district decided to give it a go......So, Ivory and I decided- let's do a regular fast too and get twice the blessings. hahaha. We were so naive ;) talk about a long rough day and the best dinner I've ever had. ha I think Ivory Shimai and I saw another side of one another that day (and we were total cheaters!) ha how are you supposed to plan a lesson in a foreign language when neither of us speak it very well?? So even though we cheated it was still a rough day. on That note.....   3) I'm sure glad Sister Ivory is my companion. ha she has the funniest comments sometimes, and everyone will go silent and then we all just bust up ha cuz it was something kind of random or that we don't expect from her, it's quite cute. It's been really fun being Sister Training Leaders together too. She just is a really good example to me of being patient with others (me) when she has to forego something she wants to do to adjust to my weakneses. She also is just really sweet to everyone around her. Not to mention....she's an alto :) ha and we sing a LOT. here so.....in other words, my companion rocks, she's super patient, and we like singing hymns.   4) Another thing I'd like to mention that I haven't before. On sunday we have these things called District Meetings and on Tuesday we have District Devotional reviews. These are some of THE best highlights of the week. On sunday, a companionship is given a topic and they all teach us. It's always super fun to see the "missionary teacher" side of everyone and they are always very uplifting and motivating. Then on Tuesdays, after the devotional, everyone meets in their districts and discusses what they liked/ learned from the devotional. It's always an eye opening experience and I love how I get to see a different side of the people that I spend so much time with. Whenever I find myself focusing more on the "potential for bad" side of people rather than the "potential for good" side of people I always remind myself, "each person has much more depth than you know.... expect the good and let them surprise you." Those times in the week is one of the times when I start to see that depth- a  glimpse of all the experiences that person has had to make them who they are today. Everyone's had rough days. Everyone's had tough experiences. Everyone has weakneses. Everyone has wishes and dreams. I think we are all much more similar than we think we are when you get down to it. Every person has worth. And I am really trying to learn just how much and how to never forget that. Those meetings help to remind me :) to not be quick to judge.   5) Ok so next thing, this past thursday (a few days ago) we had a "departure meeting!" ......it was SUPER duper cool. The speaker was someone who's involved in foreign MTC's and who served his mission in Japan. His topic was expectations. He showed us this picture of a runner.....and then told us that it captured the moment that this pro runner (i dont remember his name :/ .....curse this Horkley Gneiting brain of mine haha) ran the mile in under 4 minutes. Something that doctors had speculated was impossible and would literally stop one's heart. And he did it. And then 6 WEEKS later someone beat his time, and it's been getting faster and faster since. So his question was, how should we look at our challenges/ goals? what kind of expectations should we have for ourselves? and his point was.... if we look at things with a "can do" attitude the tasks do not actually become easier but we naturally work harder. he then went on to talk about how we all had preconcieved notions about Japan in a missionary sense (for example that the people are not receptive or that we will not baptize many) ... and that we needed to GET RID of them. No one knows but God what your mission is going to be like. So how do we come to know what expectations to have? he gave us 4 very good steps to take. In order to know what expectations we should have we need to know what kind of expectations God has for us. This is how we're supposed to do it. 1, pray. Pray sincerely and ask specifically for him to show what his particular expecation for me personally is (what he would have me do, say, etc). 2, study the scriptures. with Japan in mind (specifically Jacob 5). 3, learn more about the atonement and how it applies to everyone in a very real, everyday way 4, use priesthood leaders! especially those who are entitled to revelation for us (mission president, bishop, stake president) and give them opportunities to "turn their keys" ask what would you have me do?  ......And he ended with quotes from Heber J. Grant (who was sent in 1901) to open the "key" in Japan. They were INCREDIBLE quotes. One of them said that Japan would be one of the most successful missions ever opened and that the people would be receptive to our message. Someone who accompanied Heber J. Grant when he said the prayer (to open the mission) said that he could literally feel angels accompanying them. Later, Heber J. Grant told one of his children (as a prophet) that that was the best prayer he ever offered. Heavenly Father is really increasing the missionaries to Japan (there are LOTS here).....and I am SO priviledged to be called there. I am going to let go of all of my preconcieved notions and I can't wait to be part of the best mission in the world. It was super inspiring and made me not care if I don't know the language very well. I'm going and I'm going to do my best!   6) G- night hugs. As sister training leaders, one of our responsibilities to go check in on every girl EVERY night. Does anyone else know how long it takes me to do stuff? We are given one hour each night to be able to shower, get ready for bed, (prepare what I'm going to wear for the next day), to write in our journals and say personal and companionship prayers. "holy hannah." How am I supposed to do that?? ha at least that's what I thought. I LOVE giving all of the sisters good night hugs. and I really LOVE all of the sisters. They are all so incredible. When you have a calling where you are to look over/ love others Heavenly Father really blesses you with a view of how HE looks at them if you want it. I prayed for it and I definitely got it. Today is our last day being Sister Training Leaders (and last night of giving good night hugs)... I am going to miss it!!!!   7) " Jodan Deshita" ha number one was a joke mom. ha you think that's all I'm going to tell you about my travel plans!??....so....not this monday but the next (August 5th) we check out of the MTC at 1 pm :) woo hoo!!!! then we fly out of salt lake, have a one hour layover in Los Angeles, and then fly all the way to Tokyo!!... we get in Tokyo on their Tuesday at 11 pm. And we fly in to THE sweetest airport right off the coast and we are going to fly in AT NIGHT......so we get to see the city at night. I'm stoked it couldn't get any better. We don't have to wake up in the middle of the night, and we get a great view at night. It's super duper awesome. I'm stoked. With the time difference I'm not really sure how long our big flight actually is....but I copied my travel itinerary and am going to send it home so that you have all the details. And I will let you know for sure next saturday when I will be calling home :) (most likely on Monday).     Well that's it for this week. Love you all so very much!! One more email before you'll be recieving one from Japan :)   Sister Haderlie/ Haderlie Shimai   PS:  ahh. I forgot to tell you!!!!   I have seen: ....... Kailey Bird, Jamie Fifield, Piper Stocking, and Graham Rasmussen this week..... ha crazy how you still run into the people you know even tho there's a million missionaries here."
