So... Connor requested a blog.  This is my first attempt at one. (I'm his mom) My very awesome and talented sis-in-law Andrea helped me get it set up.  I hope you all enjoy! :)

We'll begin with Connor's latest email sent to us July 16, 2012:

"The weather here has been crazy. One morning we all woke up and our parking lot was flooded. haha In japan, Everyone has a trash day and we leave our trash bags outside, so that the trash man can come pick it up. We also have to sort our garbage. Everyone recycles in Japan. The water was very high and I saw a garbage bag just floating down the street. haha It looked like fun. If I wasn`t a missionary I would have definitely played in it. We decided to do some Noah missionary work. haha We had English class too. Which is always fun!

Today, for P-day, my companion and I decided to do Mormon helping hands. The flood destroyed some things. It`s not that bad, but man there was a lot of mud. It was really fun and I liked volenteering for my P-day. In sunday school we even talked about sacrifice. So, I guess this week has been about sacrifice for me!"

Connor also talked about a man they met while "streeting" (talking to people out on the street to get contacts):

"We found him streeting and we were out of pamphlets, but by the church, so we decided to ask him if he had time to go to the church. He said yes. We got to the church and there were members there! He got to meet the tsuboi members. (my ward) and got to see some of the church. We gave him pamphlets and the book of mormon. He said that he`s been thinking about religion and which church is the right one. He was a jehova`s witness, but he decided that they were wrong. And, get this, he said that he got on the wrong bus that day! He said that it was destiny that we met. He seems like such a neat guy, but we haven`t heard from him. We tried calling and his phone is turned off. Oh, well. I know that something good will come of that."
