- Pro: My ward would be with the other language students and I would be living with a native Japanese girl.
- Pro: Japanese would improve immensely.
- Pro: It would be a change allowing me to make new friends and be a different person where no one knows me. This would force me to be outgoing and to really make an effort to have a great senior year.
- Pro: Something new and exciting. :)
- Pro: I would be required to spend two hours at dinner a night (Sunday- Thursday) with an apartment of the boy's Japan house as well.
- Con: While this would be great for my Japanese and for helping me pass the OPI (Oral Proficiency Interview--which I would need to get an Intermediate High on in order to teach in Utah) it is hard leaving the apartment I have lived in for the last three years and entire college career.
- Con: It also would be the opposite side of campus from the classes that I need to take in the Fall and away from my coaching internship.
- Con: Could be social suicide as I am not attracted to most anyone taking Japanese or who are Japanese. On the other hand, the other languages may have some cool people.
- Con: Moving (which I am already going to have to do)
- Con: Leaving the few friends here that I have
- Pro: Same people, same apartment, same ward (which I already know is a good one)
- Pro: Ward is amazing
- Pro: I can live in the same apartment all college
- Con: Same Place, same people, same ward
- Con: Not allowed to start fresh because most people know me.
- Con: Japanese will not improve and I may not get the score that I need on the OPI.
Let me know!

Oh what a hard decision...I think sometimes our decisions are difficult because Heavenly Father is trying to tell us that whatever we decide is okay. I think if you want a change and you want to experience new things and new people more than you want what you've been doing the last three years, then Japan House it is. But figuring that out has to come from you... ;) Love you Jamie...so nice seeing you this week! And I'm still sorry we all talked through BL on Tuesday... ;)
My help came in the form of praying and fasting. :) I would go with your first feelings and stick with it unless you have strong feelings otherwise. I love you and I know you'll make the right choice. Have confidence in yourself and Proverbs 3:5-6! Oh and Jeanelle -- talking through BL is the best part! haha
