Dear Mom & Dad,

Well this last week has been hard. Like I told mom before, my trainer is Japanese. It’s different. I don’t always know what he is trying to say, which is difficult. We are never on the same page; because, we can’t communicate more than half of the time. But he has a good desire for the work. I just don’t know what’s going on all the time; plus, we are in a whole new area and highly Baptist and Catholic one at that. I’ll get used to it and the work will start to roll. I love you all. Keep on Keep in’ on! Love You!
