You gotta love it out here. Last Monday we went to the hot springs, hung out naked in jacuzzis and saunas and outdoor pools of hot mineral water, with a road with people walking around not too far off, in full view of a bunch of lounging naked guys. Which is normal here. We of course are not normal, since we are 2 tall white guys, and get stared at alot, which is a little more weird when you and the guy staring at you are naked, but it gets less awkward when you go introduce yourself. Just lose the habit of pointing at your name tag when you tell people youre name, cause when you're naked you end up pointing at your nipple and calling it "Elder Jones", then it gets weird again. Trust me, I know.

The next day we had our district training meeting and had lunch at our apt, we got some Pizza Hut to celebrate. Found out Elder Knighton and I are staying another transfer here together. We are totally stoked. Saturday we had a ward activity went tubing at a sled hill, Elder Knighton and I became legends with all the little kids when we cleared the pile of snow at the bottom of the hill that was supposed to stop everyone and jumped it, hah try and stop us Japan! Anyways we found out the gym by the apt is closed on Mondays, go figure. We were hoping for good weather today to go explore the cliffs down by the ocean but it is almost a blizzard out there, so it will be another PDay in the apt. Have a great week!
