Hello Russell Street!
It feels like it's been awhile since I've been able to blog. It was spring break last week, and I went to Denver to visit my grandma (!) who recently turned 90. It was pretty fun to be back in the U.S. for a week!
At the same time, Tommy and Kaela spent some time in Tohoku, doing service work with their youth group (unfortunately they didn't take any pictures).
The teens helped clean up what was once a neighborhood near a fishing wharf. They wore protective clothing, including big boots with steel toes and liners, and long gloves. There is still so much work to do in that area of Japan.
As the anniversary of 3/11 approached, we heard lots of stories from people who experienced the earthquake last year. In general, things are back to normal here in Tokyo, but the people who experienced the earthquake will never forget it.
We see posters like this everywhere:
