Well, a lot has happened since August. Actually, a lot has happened since June! In some ways I felt like I had reached my limit on what I was able to do. Having three months of nonstop activities without break is quite taxing. However, I've been able to persevere and now I have some time off to get myself recovered before the semester starts again in October.
I was in Hokkaido for over a week and a half, which I will talk about later, but before that, let me tell you that my parents came to Japan!
Perhaps many of you already know, because you have probably talked to them since they have been back, but my parents came to Japan to visit me here in Shizuoka.
I had a very good time together with them. After almost a year away, I think it was good for the both of us to see each other again. Also, I think it gave them a good idea of what it is like here, and some of the things I do and people I live with. I hope they are now able to see why God chose me to be here, and why I love it here so much.So, if you see my parents, I'm sure they have some great stories to tell you about their experience here.
