Dearest family and friends,

It was a busy day! We had a devotional at the office and I was working on the ordersheeets for Bishops warehouse. Then Evan and I took a bus and two trains to Reberdarge, kind of Japanese town. But the restaurant we wanted to go was Closed today!!! So we went to another restaurant but it was so much more expensive and not that good.

We went to Japanese market store and got two boxes of chocolate cookies for the  couple missionaries who have been so good to us. And I got two books, this time I made sure that they are NOT comics. But they were soooo expensive. It is so expensive here in Sao Paulo. I don't know how people can afford anything!

We were walking all over so my ankle started hurting again. So I came home and Evan went to the office.

He went to the store to get few things right now. I hate it when he is gone.

It is already8:30 so I'd better get ready for bed. We are trying to go to bed before 10:00.

It was a hot day!!! Fortunately it rained hard to cool down.

We got some information for Nursing homes in Japanese community so I hope we can help someway.

Every time I speak Japanese, they don't speak it. They look at me saying "HAAA?"

Well, hope you guys are doing OK. I washed sheets for our bed today and it is taking 2 hours to dry. While we are using dryer, we cannot use any other electricity such as hair dryer, hair curler, iron, microwave oven and toaster!!!

I still miss you and love you all!!!

Hiroko
