A Rainy Day in Nagashima

It is windy and pouring outside, this time of year that means the poison
centipedes and spiders will be heading inside. We have killed 3-4
centipedes already this year, the largest was about 6 inches long, the
smallest about 1 inch. Let the games begin!

At church this morning, Chloe's etch-a-sketch was the center of
attention. Apparently they aren't available in Japan. One college girl
was really enjoying it, I wasn't sure we would get it back!
For lunch, we had two ladies from church eating with us. Susan had made
pudding and it was about as popular as the etch-a-sketch. You can buy
pudding here but I don't think people normally make it. Seeing a big
bowl of pudding was a shock for them.

I will be preaching Sunday afternoon at church. Because it is Mother's
Day we are expecting a large turnout plus, there are two churches with
fairly substantial groups coming to join us that day. Pastor Kishimoto
will be preaching a Mother's Day message in the morning so I will
continue with the series on I Peter. We are in Chapter 3 so I believe I
can come up with an introduction talking about Mother's Day that will
lead smoothly into the text.....just kidding, I can't do anything
smoothly in Japanese!
