Cherry blossoms trees

Cherry blossoms are in full bloom!

They are very different from the ones in Japan,

but I truly enjoy the spring with cherry blossoms in view.



I have noticed for the first time in seven years since I moved to US

that this row of cherry blossom trees are only found in front of our apartment.



I really appreciate God's letting me live in such a place like this,

on top of a wonderful view of skyscraper.

Pastor from Tokyo has come!

The day when a pastor from Tokyo has arrived,

it has become warm like early summer.


We have rented a studio for a special service with the pastor as a main speaker;

we needed to set up the studio only for 30 minutes for the service,

so we had been praying for that.


On the day of service we got real help!


As nobody had been renting the studio before us,

we allowed to come in for preparations 15 minutes earlier,

and two people from another church came much earlier to help us;

on top of that, Machiko a member of our church called us to say that she could come earlier, too.

Now we had five people to set up the studio instead of me and my husband!



we are happy to see people who had been unsure of coming show up to attend the service.

Everybody was filled with joy when it was over.

I give thanks and praise to the Lord!
