Hello!
So how was everyone's Thanksgiving??? Beth ate
jellyfish, that's a little gross, luckily I haven't come across that
here in Japan, but we're approaching the season where all the really
traditional foods come back out in Japan...Japanese New Year, gotta love
it. I think the worst thing I've seen so far was baby octopi swimming
around in soup. Needless to say, I steered clear of that one as best as I
could.
So Thanksgiving here went well. And I did get a traditional American Thanksgiving dinner at the
Nagano's that was absolutely delicious. I think it's a good thing that
they live a little farther away and we went by bike, on the way home, we
were able to work off some of that food!
As with that nothing too much else is happening. We're working on
starting up a Kid's Eikaiwa here, so we're just going crazy trying to
get a curriculum together, getting publicity out, and making vocab
cards, homework etc. It's fun though, and we think we'll really be able
to introduce a lot of people to the church through it. In Japan, english
classes are huge. With needing english so much in the world today, tons
of parents want their kids to learn english. People pay 100's of
dollars for just an hour long class with a native english speaker, so
with us teaching for free we're able to really help the community and
get more people associated with members of the church as well with
teaching them about the church. Anyway, we're excited. It starts this
week though, and we still have a lot to do.
It's gotten cold again in Japan. Pulled out the gloves, and
scarves, once more. I can't believe it's already winter again, let alone
a few days until December. Time is going by so fast!
Anyway I hope everyone has a good week!
Love you all!
