Recent Happenings in Photos

Please don't think we have forgotten about updating our blog. With me teaching at the Pre-School 2 full days a week and an even busier schedule for us, we just haven't had the time to update as often as we would like to. We have a few old blogs posts ready to go but this post will show pictures from mid-September until now. Soon we will add a few more posts. But for now we hope you enjoy the photos!!

Saturday, September 21: International Cafe Mexican Theme

This little girl kept coming over to see Samuel during the breaks.
David spoke and presented the Gospel while Tony Haug translated.

Many Japanese in attendance had never seen a piñata. 

Mr. Shimoda had perfect Japanese form.


However, it was one of the parents of my Pre-School student's who broke the piñata and all of the candy came out!!

It was fun to watch the children run over and gather up the candy.

At the end of September we went down to the boardwalk for lunch and a walk around.

The Kanmon Strait and bridge is behind me. 

It's very beautiful here in Shimonoseki and you can see more of the bridge.

Riding the new Ferris Wheel!!

September 30, Stephanie's Birthday!!


Lunch at a local place called 'Jolly Pasta' the thin-crust pizza is really good and more American style than any other restaurant we'd been to in Shimonoseki!!!

David took me to a bakery place and I chose a few yummy pieces of cake for us. 

Birthday flowers.

David sang happy birthday!!


Marcia Haug watched Samuel for a few hours while we got to go for a drive, supper, and walk on the beach at sunset!!

Not on my birthday, but enjoying a birthday supper and yummy American style brownie sundae dessert.
October 7, 2013-Samuel is 8 months old.



Cruising around the mall in this awesome stroller!!
 We were invited to Baiko University by some friends who attend the university to see a Japanese dance.




Watching the dancing!!


All of the shoes left at the entrance. All homes and many places of business require you to take your shoes off when entering. The gym where we watched the dancing was no different. 


Samuel crawling in-between everything!!



David and Samuel attended the sports day for some of his students.





On a walk through the surrounding neighborhoods:


A shrine

Narrow streets

A really small door

Bed-head and sleepy face after a nap.
