Hey, everyone! Thank you all so much for the Birthday wishes, gifts, and loving messages this past week! It's been a most wonderful month, and I'm so thankful for every single one of you who follow my emails and facebook posts as I continue to live here in Sendai as a missionary!


For my birthday, the team and I went out to a karaoke venue, where they allowed us to bring food into our own private party room! Here's a video of me being an absolutely giddy dork in front of my very patient friends. I apologize for any cringe that may occur during and after viewing:

I guess you could say I was just bursting with joy! Thankfully, my horrendous attempts at singing anything by Queen was mercifully not recorded, so I will not torment you or Freddie Mercuries soul (RIP) with my awful singing voice. Although, I was able to sing the entire ensemble of "Belle" from the Disney (cartoon) of Beauty and the Beast. A feat I'm quite proud of, but sadly didn't record. Next time!

The very next day, to continue celebrating my birthday, and Kai's very own 4th birthday (His is a week from mine!), we went to the Sendai Zoo! I must say that the Red Panda's in particular were extra adorable today, with the Snow Monkeys being utterly deplorable with their screaming and in-family fighting over scraps of food. The animal kingdom knows no middle ground.


This coming July, our team is planning, Lord willing, to visit a missions base near the coast in the prefecture of Fukushima for the weekend! There, we will help out with children's ministry, English-Japanese exchange, and potentially network and form friendships with the workers there. Everything is still up in the air, therefore I'll be sure to inform you all when we'll be going, so that you may pray for safe travels for our team! Thank you all so much for your continued prayers and support, and have a most wonderful day!
