Saying Goodbye....

I had to say "goodbye" to my dear friend, Sue, today. She's off to Japan tomorrow, and from there to New York the next day. I'm super excited for her, but it's definitely sad to see her go. She's been such a great help to us, and she's also a good friend. We've had lots of great talks over coffee :). I pray that she encounters a friend in the U.S. who is just as helpful to her as she was to us. She's hoping to find a church when she gets there as well (which is great!). We didn't want to scare her too much, but we did caution her a bit about the dangers of cities in the States... things you don't have to worry about much here. In other news.... um.... well, there isn't much other news. Went to Chonan last weekend.... saw a movie.... I'm helping with the kids English class at church just until we finish their book. That's on Saturday afternoons... And on Sunday we had a small English Bible study in lieu of English service. I thought it went quite well, actually. :) Oh yes, this weekend is Easter! I was asking some of my students about what they do for Easter. It's only celebrated at church here, I guess. The girls were saying that you get pretty eggs at church to eat (although, I've only ever seen brown eggs, so I wonder how they look...). They also said that you're supposed to fast on Good Friday. They didn't like that idea (hey! They're just 6th graders :) ). I'll go to church, and then afterwards we're heading to some sort of cherry blossom festival nearby. I hope the weather's nice!
