Fighting in the heat

Nagoya has been unexpectedly hot this year. Everyday, temperature goes up over 96 Fahrenheit with high humidity. We even experienced a level-3 earthquake in Japanese scale; this is about when people start to feel a little fear.

In this extreme heat without AC, David changed net for a screen door.



From that, David got headache and backache. However, he taught a beautiful lesson on atonement from the gospel principle book in today's Family Home Evening.

Talking about FHE, I need to report my father's progress. Tonight was the first night that my father, who is not a member of the church, actually stayed and listened to the whole message about church doctrine. He just said "I think that was a good story," but it obviously made me happy.



My mother told me that my father always had no intention to live long life. However, he recently started to say that he may want to live a little longer. "I changed my mind by seeing David," dad says.

David, what did you do? How could you change his mind, which my mom kept failing for 20 some years?

Likewise, we are having great time.

My grandparents, father, mother, David and I went out to eat eel yesterday. Today was the day called dojo no hi, when the weather suppose to begun getting really hot. On dojo no hi, we eat eel nationwide to prepare for boiling summer days. We love eel and David likes it.




Eel about this size is $20on average. Yes, it is usually the same or more expensive than stake.


But David's almighty favorite are fried shrimp and spaghetti. With those, David can have a big smile even in the heat.

By the way, our reception was a big success. We will post some pictures later with others but here are some.
