First post from Japan!!!

 Hello from Japan! My first week here is going great! The  family is very awesome and I am loving all the new stuff I get to experience. Here is the bus I had to take from Narita airport to Keio Hachioji. Everything went great, so thanks for the prayers!

These are just a few of the mutiple buttons on the toilet ;)

 Here is a night view of Tokyo:

 My first lunch here: pounded rice, raw fish with seaweed, and some other stuff that i dont remember! The food here is very tasty. We have seaweed pretty much everyday.

 The kids were loved the American candy I brought.....they had to divide it out JUST right so each child got an equal amount:

 Here is Charity and Nathan reading the books I brought. THEY LOVE Dr. Suess.....its a good thing I do too :)

 We play LOTS of games too.

 Here we ate out for lunch. I had noodles with fish sausage, ginger with onions, and fried vegetables....which included a Japanese squash and mushroom thingy.....also I got a shrimp.....as long as my hand. Mhmmmmmmm.....oh and instead of water, you always get hot tea to start the meal:

 Here is an awesome view we saw on our drive/hike up the mountain:

 This is how red my hand got playing a game called......ummmmm.....i can't remember....but its some variation of rock/paper/scissors where you get to slap the person if you win! They do a lot with that game here in Japan.....im finally learning how to say it: "Sigh sho wagu! Chon Ken Poi!" That is the wrong spelling but its how i remember how to say it!

We also went to church in Tokyo yesterday. It was very different than Bluffton. At lunch they made me a cake that said: Welcom Cassie written in Japanese. The people here are so friendly. I like it a lot! I'll try to keep you posted!
