I'm back!

Konnichiwa mina-san!,

I am back from Japan and admittedly with mixed feelings. I loved Japan and I do not regret my time in Japan in the least. That being said, it almost feels like in some ways that I never left America. The comforting thought for me is that I know that I have changed for the better and I will never be the same. And I can kind of speak Japanese now^_^ That is one of the best parts!

I’ll admit I am not currently in a good state to be writing a blog. Reason being that my English knowledge has really downhill gone. I might end up Japanese Grammar using, or some other weird thing/poor word choice/confusing sentences. Please forgive me until I normal English again learn. (shouldn’t take too long).

But I really want to keep in touch with everybody. A lot of people mentioned that they liked the e-mails I sent home when I was a missionary and I want to keep that up. I also want to stay in touch with the amazing people that I met in Japan. They helped change my life.

So, you may wonder what my plans are from here. Do I have a course to follow? Of course I do. I want to learn how to make pie. Not as a career. I just figure it will be a nice life skill.

and... I'll be working to earn money for school. But that will not keep me from having new insights on life to blog about, or from rediscovering old talents (like upside-down sandwich making) and new talents (like upside-down flute playing).

I'm not sure how often new posts will come, but I'm going to try to keep it fairly regular.

Thank you so much everyone again for all you have done to contribute to my life and especially to all those who messaged me or prayed for me while I was in Japan. It helped me a lot.

I am eagerly awaiting what the future holds in store!

ありがとうございます！
