Spring Break is...over.

My Spring Break is over... :( but I had such an awesome time! I'm very grateful and thankful for this chance to have travelled around, which I normally would not have been able to afford to. Anyway, here are the pictures!


[the nurse who knew my mother and perhaps even held me at some point when I was a baby. We are standing in the area where the babies (me being one of them) used to sleep!]


[Sendai: a place north in Japan; a beautiful place, indeeeeed! I stayed there a few days with Kristy and her family. we did some hiking and a lot of relaxing (well, I did, at least). A great time of peace]


[Sendai]


[Celebrated my 23rd birthday in Sendai. And Kristy's mother graciously made me a birthday cake (WITH ICE CREAM on the side!). I finally celebrated my birthday in the right time zone and not a day after my birthday!]


[in Tokyo...Shinjuku Park. A park filled with Sakura trees.]


[Let me tell you, not all of Japan looks like this, yet this is the image we have of Japan! This is Tokyo..but trust me...NOT ALL OF JAPAN LOOKS LIKE THIS!]


[More Sakura! This was at Iwakura, located in Nagoya. Went to Iwakura with a few ladies from church and Kristy. One of the 101 places to look at cherry blossoms. Beautiful, isn't it? God is quite the artist.]
Going to Iwakura and coming back to our apartment was quite the adventure. We thought the ladies knew their way...or so you would think. And they did..only by car. Ha..so we jumped in a few wrong trains there and back! It was quite funny. But then it began to pour when we were there....so that wasn't as exciting and fun to say the least. A good time to appreciate the beauty of this place.

Well, yesterday marked the beginning of my Spring Term..which is also my last term in Nagoya, Japan. Please keep this ministry in your prayers...that God may be known and glorified by those who hear His Word.
