First Sunday Worship

Yesterday was Mother's Day and Murasakino Church's Anniversary. We presented the scroll from Langley UMC and they now have it posted at the back of the sanctuary. David gave a small speech of greeting. The women have invited me to attend their Womens Meeting next Sunday. Luckily Shin San will be there to translate. However - this time I can understand much more than before - even though I cannot string enough words together to say very much.
This Sunday was special so there was a more elaborate lunch after church along with speeches and games. About 80 people including 15 plus children. Two of the kids remembered us and shyly came to say HALLO - I think the only English word they know.
