My Day

Well, I have just finished a wonderful day! I started my day today by rolling out of bed at 6:45. After a quick shower and bowl of corn flakes that Coen spilled all over me, I had an English lesson with Eastin. When Abi left to take him to school, I had my quiet time and hot tea. I am enjoying reading through Acts and Romans right now, along with The Valley of Vision. After that, I was really encouraged when I met a Japanese lady who has been a Christian since she was 10 years old. To hear her story was really encouraging. She also encouraged me in children's ministry. We also learned that all of her family is Christian as well. After that, I had some time to talk to my family. I was able to talk to my Mother, brother, and grandmother. I really enjoyed that time. I ended my chat with them when one of Abi's old English students came over for lunch. I enjoyed meeting her, and found out that she is a Christian. I enjoyed visiting with her, and eating coffee jello until around 2:30, when four of Eastin's friends and their mothers came over. We played a new game called "guess how old is Hannah-Chan". :D They left around 6:00, and then I went for a walk. The weather was so nice. There was a breeze, and the humidity was bearable... I came back after about a 45 minute walk and had dinner. Now I am watching Dr. Who!!! My wonderful family sent me 5 episodes of Dr. Who with my favorite actor, David Tennant. :D People ask me all the time what I like to do, and what I miss most about home. Besides the obvious (my family, and all the people), the thing I miss most is probably the animals. I just want to give you a few of my favorite pictures from back home... I hope you enjoy them!

All my love,

Hannah

Here you can see a true Mississippi sunset. I was telling someone today that while Japanese sunsets are beautiful, I miss a sunset through the trees or over a pasture. You can also see me clipping one of our young bulls sometime last September. Last but certainly not least, you can see two pictures of my baby and me... Ok, so he's not so little like a baby anymore.... He probably weighs around 3000 pounds by now, but he still recognizes me differently than he does others... It's like he tries to be gentle with me. He's my gentle giant, and I love him! :D
