  This week I opened my first pack of Pokémon cards. (I will be opening more) Send me an email if you want a pack.... 😃  We found two friends from Taiwan. They both came to church. They are so funny. They came to to church yesterday and said it was one of the funnest coolest experiences of their lives! I had 3 exchanges this week! My mission President came to church yesterday. He is the goat.  I caught a fish last P-Day! (Hogging) Japanese is fun. I am learning a lot. If you go to super markets late at night you can get sushi for basically free.  I just went to the Pokémon center while writing this email. Hopefully I pull something good...

I spun the wheel and won a yogurt. It was an awesome interaction. They thought is was awesome I could speak a little Japanese! I went to a library. It had the same quiet sound as in america. I saw a pirate ship.  I got greedy and order two katsu! 😃 😋  I got to lead a sacrament meeting..... 😨 (it went well)  Love you all!  Elder Pohlman!
