Japanese Cemeteries

So because my family was in charge of taking care of the Bado Cemetery, we all pay more attention to cemeteries than normal people. :) So, I love looking at them in Japan. They are interesting to me. Because of the lack of space in Japan, virtually everyone is cremated. People do not have a choice usually. So the lots are smaller than the cemeteries in America. Also, there is no grass! No mowing, Dad! Wahoo! haha Here is a picture of a cemetery I pass on the way from my house to the station in Chigasaki:

I know that not many people will find this interesting and some may find it really weird, but I thought it was interesting so I shared it.

Most things are going good here. Today was prayer meeting at church. I always enjoy this time because it is an intimate setting with a few people in the church and we are able to get to know each other better. Meg (the pastor's wife) and I went into Yokohama and ate at Friday's and did some shopping. It was fun to get to know her better. I have started on my gifts for everyone and their brother back home! haha I really enjoyed buying the them today though! Tomorrow is English class. Mr. Ichimura (the person I stay with) is going to come to English class and he is going to even bring a friend. This is another opportunity for him to hear the gospel. When I asked him if he enjoyed church last Sunday, he said, "Yes, church is always nice, but I have a hard time understanding God." Please pray for him as he has many opportunities to learn about God. Thanks again for all of your love, support, and most of all PRAYERS. I think I may not have lasted 6 weeks if was not for them. Love you all!
