THANK YOU so much for your prayers! God did so much.
What can I say; I thought a month in Okinawa would be a long time, but before I knew it, it was over. Today's pic, I said to myself would be a conglomeration of images from the last few weeks...then I changed my mind and said it was actually only the last week...then I realized it was only 3 days!
On one day, we went for a drive to see Okinawan cherry blossoms and a historic castle site with some middle-aged folk who we'd known as children. The next day, we'd spent time with several sisters we grew up with, and had tons of fun reliving ukulele choir numbers as well as eating at a merry-go-round-like sushi place afterwards. And there was the "Mile-High Pie"...but that steering wheel...that's Pastor Ishikawa's arm; and he didn't drive us to "Sam's by the Sea" for that dessert--the Garners did--but took us to fellowship with my parents' co-worker. The little boy in center front is the nephew of the people, now in their 40's whom we knew as the Nakamatsu kids. The little boy's mother is the one behind him--of course, she wasn't even born either when we got to know his Uncle and Aunt!!
