Rest is always a good thing!! Caught in the act of naptime!! Oops!!! You like our bamboo blinds don't you? 

This is where we had dinner last night....This is Yasu and his wife Fumiko, our good friends here. This is the typical meal set up in Japan. We all sit on the floor with our legs under this table which is a heater. It is called a katatsu table. Here we are eating sushi....we do eat with chopsticks so be proud! This table is in their "den" and is also where they sleep at night on futons. We really enjoy the culture and this food was AWESOME!!! The sushi rolls were made of seaweed, rice, cucumbers, tuna, egg and ham. Mark did eat some he made with raw Mackeral.  

Happy Valentines Day!!!  

Me, Kazuna and Fumiko....I am very pale...HELP!!!! 

Oishi, Yasu and Mark...surfing yesterday.. 

Fumiko and Kazuna...just after bodyboarding. 

Dogs love to nap in the middle of the roads here. Also you can see the typical dress of the older people in the neighborhood. They are always riding their bicycles No wonder they have the longest life spans. Very healthy! 

Yeah, my new wetsuit came in and this board was already here for me when I arrived. God is good!! The water feels great! Been in the past two days...NO SHARKS!!!! 

READ

Obviously I have been reading in Matthew lately! It is so good I wish I could write it all down, but I encourage you all to read Chapter 6....very awesome!! Love you all! May you know His presence more and more everyday!

MATTHEW 6

"Dont collect for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. But collect for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19-21 "Noone can be a slave of two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot be slaves of God and of money." (v. 24)
