Japan!

Here we are eating yummy noddles!
This is at Tokyo airport! It was like 2am for us!
Long plan ride with 6 kids!

Yes we live in japan and I have not posted anything for a long time! I have been kind of busy! It all began when Nate was talking about japan 18 months ago! I thought it would be a great idea and how much fun it would be! Now that we are here we are excited but its been very very busy! Living in a hotel for 10 weeks with 6 kids was so difficult and frustrating most of the time and not having a car and not knowing very many people! We are in a small branch that has alot of young couples and quite a few kids! I think most of them think we are crazy for having 6 kids in 7 years and that we decided to move all the way to japan! Nathan and I were able to go to the Tokyo temple last month and what an amazing experience that was! How cool is it to be in a place that everyone around you speaks a different language and still you can feel the spirit so strong! I love the people here. Can I just say that one more time? I love the people here! They are so sweet and kind and my self esteem has gone way up! The women here that can speak English always tell me how beautiful I am and how I don't need to be skinny and wear makeup! We went to this Korean barbecue last weekend and I cant believe the place is still standing! The place had staples in the floor to keep it together and no fans in the place! I was dying from all the smoke and Nate loved it because you get to eat all you want in 90 min! It cost about 2800 yen which is about $30.00 per person!
