E-mums

The mums at the English conversation club had a little farewell for us this week. Usually we would meet in the morning at the nearby 市域センター (community centre) after the mums send their kids off to school at the kindergarten, but this time the mums made it a little special by meeting in one of the mum's home for lunch.

Everyone had a fun time chatting and interacting in English. We played games like charades, storytelling using random words given by the opposing team, and guessing the animal written on our backs by asking 'yes or no' questions in English. This English class not only gave us a good opportunity for us to know them, but for the mums to know each other better.

In typical Japanese hospitable fashion, the mums whipped up a scrumptious spread of dishes for lunch. We will miss this group of mums when we leave. Steve will continue to meet the mums for English conversation in the future, and we are hopeful that these mums will grow to know Christ soon.
