I was up in the air about church today as TAD!! but once I decided
1. we could do it
2. NEEDED a BLESSING so bad.. really WANTING tads stomach to get right.. as I think they made you eat raw fish????
3. express gratitude for blessings
so I told you boys WE have to go to so we can ask HF to help tads stomach..
so we head out a bit early so we can walk calmly and see some extra fun stuff it if presents itself.. again carry ozzy so tad can sit in the back..
well we got to church ..I have always noticed the water just a little bit from the church.. so we go to check it out!!! AWESOME find.. tons of ducks.. little boats you can rent to paddle around in.. cool bridge.. you all were dying for me to go rent one of those boats.. but of course needed to head off to church.. plus could I really do THAT all on my own?? I can see it now..
getting on the boat, ozzy needing to be fed.. so I am nursing while padding, then a kid decides maybe they can catch a fish or a duck?? turns into swimming.. mmmm.. I always just think of the WORSE case.. its my nerves
but there was this awesome temple also.. I kept explaining to jonah, who was asking all the questions.. that this is their god as you were trying or thinking that some of the statues were things for kids to climb.. WHOA.. back up buddy.. what is so cool.. its trues walking up the stair by herself and then back down.. some cute older people reached out their hands to help her.. what does she do?? wave her hand.." no thank you " you say!! I would have
NOW best part of church.. got some get INFO from another mom that has been here 7 years.. and to find out they have a sail boat.. I was SO NOT shy.. I totally asked "so when you going to bust out that boat" .. as when we were driving to our apt for the first time.. I saw all this water and asked AT to find out if Sasaki had any friends that had a boat.. .. didn't know I could make my own!!!
so then RS starts up.. this sister that is teaching has taught before I SWEAR ON my life.. her yelling is my whispering.. I am finally starting to pick out my favorite sisters.. so I turn to one of them and say " sorry but someone needs to give her a microphone" she says " I know damnit" THAT was the best part of church!!
the last pix is I believe an area where you pour water in your hand to be baptized?? not sure. but of course my boys wanting to defile it.. had to again say WHOA.. step back.. there will be no disrespecting:) we will have to bring AT down here to see what the customs are:)

Ok, awesome post...I love it that you are seeing so many cultural things. It's got to be a life-altering time for children because of all they are seeing at such impressionable times in their development. On the fourth picture down where Truly is alone looking into the camera I want to say: "Why so seeeeeeeriiiiioooouuuus baby"? Her little scowl makes me want to scoop her up and squeeze! Love.
ReplyDelete...and what the blue leisure suit double knit uniform pants is going on. Did you have a fashion seizure? I know they wear them for school, but we are talking church here aren't we?
