Yes, he's back.

Hooray!  Andrew's home!

Our Man in Japan...final e-mail.

Dear family,


Well I'll be seeing you later this week. I already know my schedule for Friday now I guess

6 AM Wake up
7:30 AM Breakfast
8:45 PM Bullet train to towards Narita Airport
4:10 PM Plane leaves for Seattle
9:20 AM Arrive home
4:15 PM Be released

That's going to be a long day I think. I'll try to sleep on the plane, but I've never been good at it, maybe I'll manage a few hours.

My bike got a problem again a few weeks ago. I used the back brakes past where I should of and over time they dug into the rim a little and there's a rip in the rim. It's still ridable kinda, but probably not too good to ride. Somehow I don't think I'll get it fixed at this point.

I bought some Japanese books last week, most of them were only a dollar. I actually bought the Japanese 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' it doesn't look too hard to read so maybe it'll be good practice. It was only a dollar after all.

It's probably too late to get an answer but are your cell phone numbers still the same ***-***-**** and ***-***-****? I might call you when I get to Seattle if I can't find you.

Well you all take care I'll see you on Friday.

Love,
Elder Andrew West

Friday, 9:20am.

We've had Andrew's flight information for months now...months.  And now it comes down to days.  Days that you can count on one hand.  Barely enough time to make a "Welcome Home Andrew" poster or two. Somewhere or other, I'm pretty sure I have the one we made for Nathan...I could totally use it in a pinch.
