Hi everyone!!
My name is Tomo. I’m David’s fiancee.
So this is David’s missionary blog, and right now I’m not raising support yet because I’m not a SEND member yet, but since I will be soon, I’m going to be writing on this blog as well. My posts will basically be about what I’m up to, and also what my church is up to. I’ll try to post as often as possible so please come visit and check what’s up in Tokyo!
I live in Tokyo and I attend a church of about 100 people, which is a huge church in Japan!This past Sunday was a clean-up day. So we cleaned the whole church building. (We have a four-story building) Cleaning is always fun J especially when you do it with the whole church.
And then the most exciting part was, we installed a new rice cooker, stove, and a microwave/oven!!! We had had the old ones for years and the oven didn’t even work and was just taking up space, so it’s really exciting that we got new ones!
After that, a church elder took some of us out for dinner.We have four American guys helping out with VBS this year so they all went too.And David’s brother Jon, who is in Japan as a SEND missionary, was there too.We ate a lot and had a good time JWe had Okonomi-yaki, which is kind of like pancakes with vegetables and meat and sometimes seafood, and Monja-yaki, which is… hmm I don’t know how to explain, it looks kind of gross but it’s soooo good!! There’s a lot of food like that in Japan, looks gross but really good! So if you ever come to Japan, don’t be intimidated by looks and just try them.
You’ll be surprised how good it is in spite of how gross it looks. I think.
And we’ve been having VBS this week.
More about that next time.
Thanks for reading!
Jaane! (‘See ya’ in Japanese)
