One of the ways we have decided to serve here is to occasionally have people over to dinner. We recently had the newlyweds- the Satohs over for the evening. They are a delightful couple and she is adding so much to our little branch. She is so warm and loving.

| I forgot to take pictures of the food we made, and now I can't even remember what we served. That's funny, because I stress so much about what to make. Turns out, I guess it doesn't matter! |

| Thanks to Michelle sending us pudding mixes, I know we served Next Best Thing to Robert Redford for dessert. |
Then, on another evening we had Chiaki and her son over for a hamburger dinner. I teach Chiaki weekly piano lessons, using the church's keyboard program. She is an excellent student and is really progressing.

| Our hamburger dinner: Cheeseburgers, Potato salad, baked beans, watermelon, and sautéed mushrooms and onions and other trimmings. |
We enjoy having people to dinner, though, I admit, it is a bit stressful. It's all in Japanese, so I don't understand much of what is said, though Ken does his best to keep the conversation going and translate for me. But we feel it is a way we can get to know people, show our love for them, and to serve them.

Such luckies! They are experiencing American cuisine from a great cok! That's such a good way to get to know people, to break bread with them.
What a great way to give service! Dinner with the Hinton's is the best!
That is such a good way to get to know the people better - I bet they love to come and try your delicious American food.
