WELCOME TO UTAH

Tonight we picked up our Japanese exchange student. He is here for 1 week. His name is Kazuya and he is so much fun! His English is very good and we can easily understand him.
After we picked him up at BYU, we took him to Brick Oven Pizza because you can't come to Utah and not go to Brick Oven! He tried rootbeer for the first time. He had the same reaction as Sotaro did 2 years ago! YUCK! He thought it tasted like medicine. The kids think it is so funny to have the Japanese students drink rootbeer because they love to drink it and they can't imagine anyone not liking it.
On the way home from dinner, Tanner and Kazuya had a lot of fun playing video games on Tanner's I-Touch. I guess that is something every teenage boy in the world likes....video games!
Kazuya is a smart young man and we are really excited he is here. He really wants to go fishing and so we are hoping it will stop snowing so we can take him. He loves sports, soccer, baseball and basketball.

We hope his family in Japan reads this and knows that he arrived here safely. He is VERY tired from the long plane ride and was excited to go to bed!

Tomorrow he is going to a farm and he wants to eat hamburgers and french fries.
