You buy more trunks and big boxes and try save more things and keep them Daishi church or place like that. If Mr. Hoffman will take care your place leave big things which you can pack them in the trunk or boxes. Be careful with driving automobile as you are not very good yet. If you have some body drive for you alright, otherwise you better not take it wherever you go.
